Washington DC-based band US Royalty are finally ready to release their debut record after spending a year recording and writing the music as a band. The folk pop band has been compared to the likes of Local Natives and the Black Keys, but in reality, their inspiration is drawn from Kubrick and Ennio Morricone soundtracks.
The result is an electrifying single called “Equestrian”, which can be listened to here.
Make sure to pick up the promising “Mirrors” on January 25th, 2011.
New Brunswick, NJ-based punk rockers Screaming Females have announced three initial shows for 2011. Dates are listed as follows:
1/14 – Chicago, IL – Lincoln Hall/Tomorrow Never Knows Festival
1/17 – Los Angeles, CA – Echoplex
2/12 – Brooklyn, NY – Music Hall of Williamsburg
The band has also released a new song called “Wild” that can be found on the September 2010 LP release Castle Talk.
Some artists shy away from what could be considered controversial content in their music videos. The Glass gleefully dive in to questionable content headfirst, showing the (very negative) effects of drug use on their video for the song “Four Four Letter” in stark black and white contrast.
The song is off of the band’s latest At Swim Two Birds, which is out via Plant Music. You can also hear the Black Van remix of the song “Four Four Letter” right here.
In October of this year, Gnome Life Records label operator Fletcher Tucker released his fourth full-length album with the band Bird By Snow. Entitled Common Wealth, the album has a broad yet natural sound, indicative of Fletcher himself.
Gnome Life has an exciting 2011 planned with releases from Psychic Hiking, Spencer Owen, Sean Smith & Johanna Borcert, The Range Of Light Wilderness, Aaron Sheppard, as well as a new Bird By Snow album all on the horizon.
But right now, Fletcher and company are focused on Bird By Snow’s newly released single “Across the Water,” which is available for download HERE.
Bird by Snow is also doing a couple spot shows in January, the dates of which can be found below.
