Being from Milano, I must admit I'm a little biased about these 3 guys from Gothenburg, Sweden. But I can assure you this is a really promising indie rock band. And here's the story behind the origin of the group and the monicker:

"It all started with three young men on an escape trip around Europe two summers ago. First stop Milano, Italy. Sitting on a bench early in the morning, watching the sunrise, they wrote their first song together; "Milano Sun". Filled with inspiration they continued to write one new song on every stop they made on their trip. Rome, Paris, Berlin, Vienna.... All songs hailing from that rising sun, the feeling of melancholy and hope you often get when the sun rises early on a summer morning.

Well back home in Sweden they had filled their tape recorded with demos and started work to finalize the songs. "Scandinavia" is what came out of that trip and in the songs the band explore their relationship to different people and places and long for past events and memories."

"Scandinavia" is the debut ep for Milano Sun; it was official released 4 days ago and you can listen to it on SoundCloud now. And don't forget to watch the new video for the title-track of the mini-album, clicking on the image above.

Australian alternative rockers Birds Of Tokyo have a new single out: it's "When The Night Falls Quiet", the latest one to be lifted from the band's new studio album "March Fires", released last March.

The new single is accompanied by another striking video from talented director Josh Logue (who collaborated with the band on the "Lanterns" video). Watch it now clicking on the frame on the left.

"Monuments To Progress" is the third full-length album by Honor By August, an American rock band from Washington, D.C. that come from the same scene around Georgetown University that spawned Vertical Horizon.

The new record, a Kickstarter-funded project, was released last April 24 via Noble Steed Music and was produced by Jim Ebert (Butch Walker, SR-71, All Time Low, Jason Falkner, Hot Chelle Rae).

"Monuments To Progress" features the single "Last Chance", currently at Hot AC radios around USA. If you're into the late 90's mainstream rock, then Honor By August is a band for you.

South African indie/poprockers What Now have a brand new video out. It's for the second single from their debut full-length album "Move Like a Sinner", released last March 11th via Hey & Argh Records.

The video for "If Looks Could Kill" was unveiled a few hours ago and was realized by the the guys at Float Media, also responsible for the previous What Now's video. So click on the image and watch this amazing clip now.

Californian indie rockers The Airborne Toxic Event's new studio album was officialy released yesterday.

"Such Hot Blood" is the title of the third full-length record for the band from Los Feliz, Los Angeles and is out through Island Records, with the production of Jacquire King (Dawes, Of Monsters and Men, Tom Waits).

The album includes the 4 songs featured on "The Secret" EP, so those of you who have already bought the EP on iTunes, can "complete the album" and get the entirety of the new record for just $3.73 by clicking here.

I already presented the video for the first single "Timeless"; another cool track from "Such Hot Blood" is "The Storm": watch an acoustic live rendition of it following this link. 

The Veils are a London-based indie/alternative rock band fronted by charismatic lead singer and songwriter Finn Andrews.

Their fourth studio album was recorded in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles and was produced by frontman Finn Andrews and Adam Greenspan, and mixed by Bill Price (The Clash, The Jesus and Mary Chainand). It's titled "Time Stays, We Go" and is released this week through Pitch Beast Records.

Enjoy the first single "Through The Deep, Dark Wood" here and "Out From The Valley", from the 5 song live session recorded at Abbey Road Studios -to be released as exclusive content with the new record- here.

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.
