    Uzbeks- "Black Magic!"

    The Needle Drop

    Ever since I blogged about Uzbeks two weeks ago, I’ve been listening to their LP Goggles & Flipflops pretty much nonstop. Because of that, I’m pleased to announce that the Israeli punk group has a fresh new song out, a sub-2 minute banger called “Black Magic!” This track

    The Throne- Watch the Throne (Kanye West & Jay-Z)

    The Needle Drop

    On Watch the Throne, Kanye and Jay-Z team up for a celebration I’m sure their fans are going to love. The heavyweight MCs celebrate their relevancy, fame, and popularity with one track after another–occasionally stopping to make an introspective or societal observation. While the idea of the album

    Forest Fire- "Future Shadows"

    The Needle Drop

    Forest Fire is one of the latest bands to be signed to Fat Cat Records, a label know for releasing albums by such indie rock luminaries as Animal Collective and Sigur Ros. The Brooklyn band’s sound is more traditional than some of their labelmates, however, and comes closer to

    VITAMINS- "VIMANAS"

    The Needle Drop

    Here’s a new video from VITAMINS for “VIMANAS.” Watch out for trippy visuals complementing the manipulated vocals and dream pop soundscapes, along with plenty of beach footage taken in Hawaii. Because everyone likes the beach, I guess. This track is going to appear on a forthcoming LP on Debacle

    The Needle Drop

    Featuring Yelawolf, this Big K.R.I.T. track is from the Mississippi rapper’s forthcoming mixtape, the Last King 2. Obviously, I’m looking forward to this tape. Many of y’all already know how much I loved this guy’s last release. As usual, K.R.I.T.

    Hatred Surge- "Invega"

    The Needle Drop

    Via a new split with Mammoth Grinder, here’s Hatred surge with a 1-minute sonic assault titled “Invega.” In the short time this track lasts, it morphs from one idea to the next. A fast-paced intro quickly breaks into some heavy riffs and some wretched death metal growls that make

    Princeton- "Clamouring For Your Heart"

    The Needle Drop

    MP3 Princeton is a band that is fronted by two identical twins Jesse and Matt Kivel. How neat is that? It’s not particularly relevant to their music, but it sure makes for a great press release statement. Anyway, the band is set to release a digital single on August
