Brooklyn's "Hunters" have Killer Punk Rock Swag and a T-shirt Game to Die For (Especially that Volcanic Tye Dye One!!!)

New Brooklyn band "Hunters" are getting a lot of hype in the big apple after signing a solid deal with  a label with major distribution and backing. They've also been doing the serious musical rounds and have been playing and featuring all over the place in hotspots on the east coast. They hail from Pennsylvania and I believe they have adopted NY and who the hell wouldn't (this is unverfieid, damn my lazy googliness, but this is rock people its the bigger picture even though the devils in the detail!).

Anyway as I was saying New York is a dope town its like a fairytale on acid with a bit more grim and heatwaves or snow depending on the time of year. Thankful i've never been to NY when its been snowing, otherwise i'd have a sob story about having my toes freezing in the gutter while ate my way through every food vendor selling hotdogs on 7th avenue. However, I do remember getting into New York New York (had to do that sorry) and they had shut down all the hostiles and so we went up to Hotels and we were like being told it would cost like 5 grand, so we were like fuck that and instead stupidly walked through the projects, well almost. We saw some hair brained idiots do that and probably die. Instead Volita and I choose life and managed to beg, borrow and steal the last 2 beds in New York. Even if they were horrendously over-priced.

Anyway, anyway Hunters style and swag reminds me of New York. And thats no bad thing because that city in my books is having a strong resurgence and becoming a serious place to move to a music career. Building up out off the gutter and starting to slay audiences which is exactly what "Hunters" are about. They are the sort of muso's you couldn't help but help light a cigarette for and do some shooters before stumbling on stage and calling out all the prancy boys who think they fought, because they aint; Hunters is Tough, tough like that old man with a trench coat in that tries to stab you with a knife in Central Park but they just have been a random once offer that only happens to people like me to stupid to know when to leave parks (when everyone leaves its a sign).

If you get a minute check out this rock bands tunes on bandcamp!!! and dude this bands t-shirt game is powerful they have this volcanic tye dye that I want arghhh :)

New Warpaint Record "Biggy" - Psychedelic Heaven

Well what can I say this song is one hell of a trip. It's awesome to see the L.A woman back on top with this quality release. In the new music biz it can seem as if bands kind of fade away but usually they are just working hard on a serious project and then go into full on fight mode to promote that sucker. This definitely seems to me the case for Warpaint. Their song "Biggy" debuted on The Fader one of the biggest global taste makers in music alongside Brooklyn Vegan. New York really does seem to be at the forefront of indie music in my opinion. L.A seems to still caught up in the myths and legends of the majors that were once giants in music. It's probably no different in music on the east coast because most of the small companies are owned by majors, but the labels in Brooklyn are dope. Especially one I don't want to divulge to Auckland Hipsterdom. At any rate I'm stoked that Warpaint have bridged the gap of the states and become very popular on both coasts. This tune really gets cooking around the 2.29 mark with the drums widening out in the mix and engulfing you in Psychedelic stereo heaven that is layered with the caress of dancing angels. But hey thats just my take on it ;)

Cage The Elephant's New Video, Band News and Album

If you haven't seen it already here is Cage the Elephant's new music video "Come a little Closer" via RCA records. The video is old-skool and tripped out reminding Gabe of Mgmt and me off children scribbling with crayons outside the lines. I first heard the song on the radio a couple months ago when it was going for airplay in NZ. I think it prefers the computer screen to be honest, its just more chilled out and not so much a dodgy-radio song laughs.

What I also found shocking was Cage's long-term guitarist leaving the band. Lincoln Parish had been with the guys for over ten years, beginning when he was only 15. He's now just on the verge of 25 and has turned to the role of the producer in Nashville aka "Music City". Although the guitarists departure from the band is a significant he will probably help out a lot shaping and playing on the bands later records. Parish decided that he wasn't all that into touring and really just wanted to make records for living. A ballsy move in my opinion especially when you are leaving something that you've spent so long building up. Lincoln's words kind of sum it up i've spent '1/3 of my life rocking in the band".

Here is also the fans stand out track "Cigarette Daydreams", its a more relaxed tune but it could definetly grow on you if given a chance;



And if your a real fiend here is the whole album "Melophobia" to stream on youtube:

Premier: The Neo-Kalashnikovs - "Blue Lithium" music video (Shot in Dublin, Ireland)

Hi guys here is our latest music video "Blue Lithium". After filming the "Gorgeous Baby" video I dropped into Dublin, Ireland. Well Dolphin Barn to be exact were our family rock out. The thing I love most about Dublin has to be the Guinness, there's just nothing like a Guinness in Dublin lol. The statute of my hero Phil Lynott the lead singer and bass player of Thin Lizzy is also a highlight in the heart of the city. The video "Blue Lithium" was shot and directed  by our youngest niece Tallulah Davey and styled by Bella Davey.

The recording is really indie and raw. I guess thats what happens when you record in an ex-gambling facility with a microphone and a pre-amp. The video is inspired by the economic turmoil in Ireland. Especially the issues of rising prices and living costs faced by the people in their struggle against the banks. We really hope things turn around in Dublin because the city is truly breath taking and the people even more so.

Buy "Blue Lithium" here for 1 EURO or the whole "Take it Or Leave It" E.P for 2 EUROs

Rock On The Neo-Kalashnikovs

Sleeper Agent's New Rock Single "Waves" - A Dose of Californication

Sleeper Agent is a young rock band from Bowling Green Kentucky, in the USA and hail from the same underground rock scene as Cage the Elephant. Both the bands veteran guitarists remember swinging around on bar tables and generally getting raucous in the early days of their "Rocknroll degrees" before snatching deals from the majors. After placing songs in car commercials playing packed out concerts with Weezer and generally being good dudes Sleeper Agent are back with their new single "Waves". The song is pretty chilled out and sings about relaxing in California, something that I can definitely relate too (and the Kings of Leons aka "California Waiting" cover).
 If you haven't been to Los Angeles the feeling is kind of hard to describe but you can capture it anywhere in the state. I guess it's just the pure dopiness underpinning the capital of world entertainment. And its not the dopiness of down and outers buzzing out on Sunset Boulevards in the middle of the night. Instead of picturing a dark nightmare try and conjure up a euphoric feeling, like living in a fairytale were everyone is satisfied. The reason for the happiness in LA is because everyone has travelled hundreds of miles across the U.S in the vast majority in search of opportunity a career or at the very least a good time. When I listen to Sleeper Agents song Waves this is what it reminds me of the very fabric of the West Coast built up over time and cemented by the carefree days and great vibes in the sweet sunshine. Perhaps the Chilli Peppers hit the nail on the head when they named that special buzz 'Californication'. Whatever it is The Eagles, Gram Parson and the plethora of other countless Californian legends didn't come out of nowhere. And neither did Sleeper Agent so keep your ears perked for the new record dropping early 2014, on Mom + Pop/RCA. On a personal note I am really looking forward to the rockier material on record. I just hope my computer speakers can cope with the  audio onslaught on full volume, fingers crossed they survive !!!

Tom Lark's new single "Haircut" (Studio and Unplugged Versions)

Here is the brands new single from the talented Tom Lark called "Haircut". As always the production for the tune is top notch. I also really like the guitar tone and jumpy playing for the intro. It actually reminds me off all the times I jumped around in the seat while getting my haircut. When I was a younger chap I had to have my hair cut because my personality would bounce back into line with societies norms from think reformed rascal/menace to society. Man everything is flashing back into my minds eye listening to this song. One particular bad haircut was a number 1 and 3 on the sides cringe haha.

Highlights from this song are definitely the bass drum, i'd actually be interested to know if it was programmed or live in the studios. It's almost like 1960's rock meets modern electro production. The Beach Boys definitely seems like a solid influence on Mr Lark. I've got to say if this is a hint of whats to come I reckon will all go get a haircut and get Tom Lark's new album.



For music addicts check out this live unplugged version of the song courtesy of The Riff Records :) damn those are some nice looking microphones!!!
