2014 has been a year of 80s-inspired new wave rock taking over again. The War On Drugs released what could be the album of the year, Interpol put out a solid LP as well, and artists like Cosby are popping up all over the internet. The country is clearly digging the U2 vibes that a lot of these rock/pop bands are putting out there. Check out a new one from Richmond’s Cosby… #rock #indie #cosby #pop #u2 #warondrugs

Here’s a chill new jam from Fire and the Romance. The alternative indie / pop outfit apparently hails from both LA and NY, which must have made band practice a bitch to conduct. At any rate, they practiced enough to deliver this jam, “Way Down Below.” #indie #pop #rock

Australia’s Michael Cullen doesn’t follow in the path of his fellow Aussie musicians. While What So Not and Ta-Ku continue to push the sounds of today, Cullen seems to rely on sounds of the past to cut his teeth as a musician. With influence from Joy Division and Tom Waits, the 80s “goth-pop” soundscape can be streamed below. #newwave #rock #indie #michaelcullen #pop #gothpop #music #goth

Gasmilk is a California-based indie-pop producer who’s work is similar to that of St. Lucia or Holy Ghost. With “Slow,” the producer, who’s real name is Brian Lee White, speeds things up to give us a feel-good dance track, perfect for the spring and sunny weather that is on the way. You can stream the song and download it for free below. #california #indie #pop #music #summer #gasmilk #house #disco #newmusic #FreeDownload

Rock ‘n’ roll hasn’t been great in a long time, in my humble opinion. Acts like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd just aren’t matched in today’s day and age. This band is no exception, but they at least compile some decent riffs and experimentation to allow themselves to stand out (albeit slightly) from the usually indie / rock / pop dribble. Stream the album below and find out for yourself… #rock #indie #pop #music #newmusic #turnthepeople

Blunda falls under the indie pop category for some solid music to chill out to. New wave gets a revival as Andy Blunda releases his 2nd EP that is equal parts New Order and St. Lucia. Enjoy below. #newwave #indie #edm #pop #stlucia #blunda #music #neworder #dance #disco #newmusic

So Paul McCartney just unleashed a new tune, appropriately titled “New.” The funny thing here is that this sounds like it could be as old as any classic Beatles song, except of course for the pristine quality of the recording (side note: I would have multiple orgasms if I could listen to Magical Mystery Tour in this quality). This gets me VERY excited for his new album due out October 14th. #phish #indie #thebeatles #paulmccartney #pop #folk #music #beachboys #revolver #legen

With Camp Bisco comin’ in hot this weekend, we’re happy to bring you a funky new Passion Pit remix of Portugal. The Man. With Passion Pit playing both live and silent disco sets, I hope this gets thrown in the mix somewhere. The poppy, disco-tinged flavor matches perfectly with singer John Gourley’s vocals and creates a pairing I wouldn’t mind to hear more often. #newwave #campbisco #funk #rac #slowhands #pop #80s #music #synth #portugaltheman #passionpit #aeroplane #mgmt #fl

These trippy Aussie homies’, Empire of the Sun, brand new album Ice on the Dune is now streaming on Rolling Stone’s website. Naturally, those greedy bastards won’t let anyone else embed the player, so you have to click on that link (RIGHT THERE^^) in order to actually listen to it. I just completed my first listen to the album, but it is premium material! I like these guys a lot, from the new-wavey / disco / dancey / indie style to the imagery to the fact they play live with

What happens when Ellie Goulding covers Alt-J?  Musical karma sutra.  In her usual, breathy fashion, she nails the esoteric “Tessellate” and transforms it into something completely different with the help of producer Xaphoon Jones (there’s even a jazzy interlude featuring Bill Clinton’s favorite instrument: the sax!)  Even better, it’s a rare opportunity to decipher the lyrics of otherwise mumbly (but cool) singing style of British band Alt-J. This is a funky fresh bare-boned

Those weird Australian fuckers are back! I dig the hell out of some Empire Of The Sun and I can’t wait for this album. Despite the cold weather our Aussie friends are trucking through above, this tune screams summertime fun. The lyrics are joyful, it’s upbeat and it is getting me all sorts of psyched on the new album that comes out in June! Empire Of The Sun will be taking their live antics to Electric Forest and Made in America this summer. I’m really hoping to catch them at

The Polish Ambassador has unleashed the sixth song from his Ecozoic project. It’s a dreamy, synthy, experimental landscape that doesn’t really sound like anything else I’ve ever really heard. But that’s Polish for ya… it’s usually weird and different and unique with some kick-ass synths that let you know it’s definitely Polish bumpin’. I really dig the guitar work in this one too. As always, it’s a free download so enjoy some good music for cheap! If you feel inclined to pay

Baby Makin’, Booty-Shakin’, Shenanigan Startin’, Bougie Ass Bitch Slappin’ Music! Jason Huber and Jordan Kelly did it again with their new 6-song Cherub EP, 100 Bottles. I can’t believe it’s been over a year since we interviewed these crazy guys at Snowball Music Festival. Since then, Cherub has tripled their fanbase, opened for STS9, collabed with Two Fresh on the Planned Parenthood EP, brought out Dominic Lalli to play the sexy sax, and the list goes on. They are making str

It’s insane. Just weeks ago I was sidestage at Baauer’s show at Firestone Live in Orlando, watching him drop “Harlem Shake” alongside the other hot trap tunes, including his Just Blaze collaboration “Higher” (Jay-Z on the track couldn’t even make it as hot as YouTube phenomena). He was a skinny, normal kid who was still finding his niche in the EDM world and then all of a sudden… As jaded as this post may sound, I’m really not at all. The song still bangs, and the Kansas City

MERRY CHRISTMAS POSTAL SERVICE FANS! The man in red took your requests and has granted you this dancey gift in a nice little package. The Postal Service dropped their new track “A Tattered Line of String” today via Sub Pop Records. They already have performances scheduled at Coachella and Sasquatch Festival with rumors of Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza as well. We certainly hope to bump in to them at some point this summer and can’t wait for more music to spill out! #indie #electr

Source: Last.fm Purity Ring’s lush indie / pop landscape has earned them a cult following. With a sold-out tour and incredible (although short) stage show, the Montreal duo are quickly solidifying their position in modern music. With the Grammy’s last night, Purity Ring decided to unleash “Grammy”. Although you would never guess by their stylistic changes, this is actually a cover of a Soulja Boy. Here’s the new Purity Ring version and beneath you can listen to Soulja Boy (TE
