Strike Gently THE VIRGINS lunedì, 29 aprile 2013 21:25 by madseason
the virgins - prima materia

New York based rockers The Virgins released their sophomore album "Strike Gently" last month on Cult Records, the label recently founded by Julian Casablancas of The Strokes.

The 10 track album was recorded at the East Village Recording Center in NY by Johnny T Yerington and Gus Oberg.

"Strike Gently" is quite a different record from the dance/wave sounding self-titled debut: this new one appears like a post-rock version of Dire Straits. Cool nonetheless.

Watch the video for the first single "Flashbacks, Memories, And Dreams" here and the video for new single "Prima Materia" clicking on the image above.

REASONS BE: Hand's Up venerdì, 26 aprile 2013 16:42 by madseason
reasons be

Reasons Be is a Los Angeles-based duo who plays really nice and inspired acoustic based pop-rock songs in the vein of Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz and John Mayer.

Their 4-track debut EP "Hands Up" was produced by Lee Miles (Puddle Of Mudd, Rise Against, Shinedown) and you can listen to it on the band's facebook page (click on the image on the left).

Reasons Be was named in December 2012 one of the top 100 unsigned bands in the U.S.A. by the influential Music Connection Magazine, so I'm in very good company in liking their sunny, refreshing sound.
