Bird of Youth Release New Video

Defender Image

Brooklyn’s Bird of Youth want you to step back and relax from the escalating madness that makes up the week after SXSW, free from all the band announcements, venue-hunting and other insanity.

If SXSW had gotten you overwhelmed, take a breather from the constant barrage of information and instead enjoy a nice, relaxing acoustic performance of Bird of Youth’s song “The Great Defender” right here.

The song is off of the band’s upcoming debut, Defender, which will be available March 24th.

Video of the Day: The Strokes “Taken for a Fool” – Live on The Late Show with David Letterman – March 23, 2011


Last nite (No pun intended) The Strokes headed over to The Late Show with David Letterman to perform yet another song from Angles (BMG), that was just released this week. The guys were in full form and seemed to be enjoying themselves again, which is a good sign for the band and fans involved. They had gotten quite a cheering roar from the crowd, which makes us wonder how much bigger the new found “Strokes Mania,” will get. There is no stopping them now, right? We hope so.
