Cyber Sex. Sub Pop. What More Could A Girl Want?

Amy Rose Spiegel :: Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 5:45 pm

Sub Pop’s laying claim to some great bands lately.  They show this off sufficiently in their new Cybersex 2.0 Sampler.  Heralded by a ton of shitty .gifs and (gulp) Comic Sans MS, they provide downloads of this and the Cybersex 1.0 Sampler here.  How perfect is that “rock band” one?  Um, I guess that’s what I picture in my head when I listen to The Ruby Suns… MORE »

Free Download: WHY? remixed by Alias

Alex Moore :: Friday, November 13th, 2009 11:30 am

WHY?’s new record Eskimo Snow may be a slighter on the hip-hop infusion that you’re used to from everybody’s favorite Anticon trio. And hey, it’s worth it — Eskimo Snow is clocking in as one of the best records and “This Blackest Purse” may just be the song of the year.

But if you’ve got a hankering to hear a little of the old hip-hop flavor creep back into the new album, Alias (producer of Aesop Rock and Sage Francis) has a free new remix of “One Rose.”

Follow the jump for free download of the remix. And click here to receive a free mp3 of WHY?’s “This Blackest Purse” and review it for Death+Taxes.

Free Download: Jaguar Love “Up All Night”

Gray Hurlburt :: Friday, November 6th, 2009 5:00 pm

Jaguar Love, that squeaky, energetic super-group from Portland, has a new single out on the web for your downloading pleasure. It’s called “Up All Night” and is unsurprisingly shrill, amalgamated and chock full of synth. Love em’ or hate em’, what they give you is an mp3 that would go hand-in-hand with a 22 oz. bottle of energy drink. Jaguar Love is going on tour this November. Tour dates after the jump. MORE »

Music Video: Bobby Birdman “Weighty Weight”

Isaac Lekach :: Friday, November 6th, 2009 3:15 pm

Bobby Birdman’s new record, New Moods, will be out next Tuesday courtesy of Fryk Beat. If you recall we posted a Free Download link for the first single “Only For A While” late September. If you blew it and didn’t download it then, do so now-here. New Moods is an eclectic record. His video for the track “Weighty Weight,” which was just released, is (pardon the choice of words) a great deal moodier than “Only For A While.” But who wants a record where every song sounds the same? If that’s your vibe listen to Nickleback. Check out the video after the jump.
