Release: Drink Up Buttercup release "Farewell Captain/Sosey and Dosey" Single

Posted by Creep On March - 31 - 2009

Trash-can bangin' Philadelphia pop-quartet, Drink Up Buttercup are set to release their first single with Brooklyn label, Kanine Records. Barely a year old, Drink Up Buttercup has grown from humble roots, originally rehearsing in a Buck's County, PA barn. Kicked out for unsettling the horses, these four pop-monsters have developed a jangling, ramshackle sound that has people dancing in the aisles on both sides of the pond—they were recently featured in New York's version of KidRockers.

Pre-order Manners by Passion Pit, out May 19th.

Posted by Creep On May - 3 - 2009

After Releasing Chunk of Change to rave reviews last year, Boston natives Passion Pit are back with one of the most anticipated new albums of this young year. Sadly, much of the new album—out on Frenchkiss Records May 19th—has already been leaked and is available all over the internerd, (read: blogosphere). But for those of you willing to pay—and I know that's all of you, because we all need to make a living—if you pre-order Manners from Newbury Comics in these last few days before it drops, they'll include a limited autographed booklet. Now, it may not be gold and diamonds, or even a t-shirt, but it's still something fun.

News: Beach Fossils prepare signed to Captured Tracks and Woodist—release date coming soon!

Posted by Creep On July - 2 - 2009

A very good friend of ours recently holed himself away in his Bushwick apartment for most of the later winter after his former project, The Siberians, parted ways in search of greener pastures. Little did we know that Dustin Payseur was piling hook upon gorgeous hook in preparation for a massive release of new material—outside of the other two projects he had already set to simmer at the end of last fall. Pitchfork recently gave the first single, "Daydream", a 6—perhaps, only a cautious starting point from which to climb?

Release: Dinosaur Jr. set to release Farm on June 23rd.

Posted by Creep On May - 3 - 2009

Living through the '90s was an emotional roller-coaster for us, watching Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and Shannon Hoon break down the walls of pop music only to see their personal demons unravel them again. Albeit less dramatic, it was sad to Dinosaur Jr. come apart at the seams in late 1997. You can imagine our excitement when Dinosaur Jr. resurfaced again in 2005, despite only containing one of the original members, lead guitarist J. Mascis. They're hitting the road this summer to support their brand new full-lenght, Farm, out June 23rd on Jagjaguwar. Check the first single, "I Want You To Know".

Gustav Estjes is one of our, (and The FADER's), favorite Swedish psych-rockers. Ever. And apparently, he's one of Jess Rotter's favorites too. Jess Rotter, the New York-based artist and designer of the Rotter and Friends t-shirt line, has chosen the Dungen, (pronounced doong-YEN), front-man as her muse for the Rotter and Friends Spring line—debuting March 20th. Gustav will be modeling the brand new rock n' roll inspired, hand-drawn designs featuring Captain Beefheart, Karen Dalton, Graham Nash and the ever-present Mr. Bob Dylan. If this sneak peak isn't enough, tough—you can oogle pictures of Gustav and the rest of the Dungen cuties here. To see more from the industrious Jess Rotter you could have seen her original artwork in person—one night only—at the Garage Gallery on Saturday, Feb. 28 in LA. (Sorry, it SOLD OUT already...). Or you can read about her work for the GAP (Red) Artist Edition t-shirts at NYLON's site.
