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.

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.

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.

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".

We Have Band - Oh! (Music Video) from We Have Band on Vimeo.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about the London-trio We Have Band for The FADER's blog. Here's what I had to say about their new video for the single "Oh!":

"Holy crap, oh my god, it's Jambi, (scroll down), from Pee-Wee's Playhouse! Oh wait, we're wrong, it's We Have Band's new video—the second most awesome floating heads to ever grace the interweb. The barely year-old London-based trio just released their seizure-inspiring new video for the song "Oh!" and we've got the exclusive! Released on the 50 Bones label, we're all still waiting, waiting, waiting for their first full-length. Until then go check out what we had to say about them in the Gen F section of FADER Issue 60—out now."

That said, also be on the lookout for their re-make of the Pet Shop Boys' hit "West End Girls", and the singles "Hear It In The Cans" and "You Came Out"—both the latter were featured on French label Kitsune'sKitsune Maison 6 compilation. The debut full-length—release date still TBD—should be out sometime this fall according to the powers that be. Consisting of Darren Bancroft (vocals, drums, percussion, sampler), Thomas WP (vocals, guitar, bass, programming) and Dede WP (vocals, percussion, sampler), We Have Band is getting rave reviews in an electro-pop flooded London scene and are being heralded as, perhaps, one of the next big things. Word on the street is that they all met while working desk jobs at EMI's headquarters in London. Thomas and Dede fell in love, got married, and decided to start a band around a year ago, winning Darren's support and participation on the strength of the band name alone.

To quote their publicist at Tell All Your Friends, "Their sound is catchy, fun, familiar and classic-sounding but also unarguably their own, it’s We Have Band, and that comprises of dark dance rhythms, washy electronic synths, post punk funk bass and individual pop vocals from each member, layered in a way that really makes them sound like nothing else today."
