From Nevada comes chill, summer, bed-room jams from Isaac Knight. Isaac contacted me a while ago when he went by the name Destroy It.

Breathless is a super-soaked jam to help cool down any last heat wave of a forgotten su...

Back in 2007, I heard about this hot new band from BK called Yeasayer. I devoured it, shared it, savored it and regurgitated it. It was fresh and different and I couldn't believe it was coming from some apartment in Brooklyn, NY. It's been a couple years now and whenever I listen to All Hour Cymbals, I still get chills. It could also be the open window I'm next to but still...Earlier this year,...

They create interesting, blip-electro indie music on the vibes of 80's dance floor boogie.MP3 :: Faunts - Feel.Love.Thinking.Of MP3 :: Faunts - It Hurts Me All The Time Their so...
