Usher in the summer with the always danceable Work Drugs.
“West Coast Slide,” the lead single off their forthcoming
album Mavericks, sounds like a sexy beach
holiday with a bucket of beers and your best friends.
Keep an eye out for Mavericks,
which is due out later this summer.
Drop what you’re doing right now, because you need to be all
over World’s End Press…like
yesterday.
Grimy sneers and dance-floor sleaze never sounded so good. If
this were in a movie, “Deadbeat Sweetheart” would be thumping heavily against the
walls of the inner office of a slimy nightclub as the greasy owner, played by
Ron Jeremy, tries to seduce his newest employee.
Repulsive images aside, this quartet of Aussies, manage to
make their brand of electro pop sparkle despite several heavy coats of lurid lecherousness, and I mean that in only the best of ways.
It's about damn time! Empire of the Sun is back with a new album and the lead single "Alive," is one helluva dance floor banger. Expect this to be played endlessly all summer long.
Ice on the Dune drops June 18th, so mark your calenders.
Punch those Monday blues in the face with the out of control “Come On. Stand Out,” courtesy of Australia’s 7Bit Hero. Like Cut Copy on an
insane sugar high at an adolescent slumber party in the early 90’s, this Brisbane
quartet is blowing up the dance floor with 16-bit Nintendos.
Watch the winsome video for “Come On. Stand out.” below and
be sure to head over to bandcamp
where you can snag a free download as well as the rest of their EP We Eat Loot.
New York
indie pop duo Junior Prom’s
latest EP is a merciless assault on the dance floor – 18 minutes of uninhibited
endorphin saturated fun. These two are straight slaying it with their monster
hooks and sex-tronic beats. We’re talking massacre at the disco.
Stream the album below or head over to bandcamp to snag your free copy, and
be sure to listen to “Sheila Put That Knife Down.”
I suppose, it’s that time of year to begin casting retrospective glances on everything we’ve done. But rather than taking a moment to reflect on my actions and become a better person, I will instead focus on all the great music that came out this year.
So here is the first of several forthcoming lists. To start your day off right, here are my 5 favorite songs that will instantly start a dance party wherever you are.
The Wombats - Tokyo
I say this song and the video pretty much sum up a typical debaucherous night out, that is if you’re a pagan beast and still worship Bacchus and pray on an altar of cocaine.
Hesta Prynn - Can We Go Wrong
With explosive guitar riffs, aggressive synths, and a blissed out voice begging you to go wrong and get self-destructive, this song has party all over it.
Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand
A song about Babs mixed by Armand Van Helden and A-Trak? What is there not to love about it? This song has me loving Barbara Streisand more than a gay man. On a side note, it seems that they’ve been able to pack in every single musician of note in New York into their video. It’s kind of absurd.
Strange Talk - Climbing Walls
The scary thing is that this is only a demo track. I’m not sure my legs or brain will be able to handle the earth shattering, mind blowing magnitude of their soon to be released EP. Like Cut Copy, these Aussies have an insane talent for making some damn catchy music.
Chromeo - Night by Night
The video alone is worth the price of admission. Now if only I could learn to dance like that. One day…sigh
