The band has also released a video for the song, “Ruins,” which can be seen here:
Infantree definitely seems older than their ages would suggest (besides the mis-spelling of their name). Although three-forths of the band is under 21, they are already making a name for themselves musically.
The band has been booked to play in the SXSW ASCAP showcase, taking place March 18th at the Victorian Room in the Driskill Hotel. The band was also invited by Neil Young to perform at his Bridge School Benefit alongside Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris and Modest Mouse.
The group will be re-releasing their first album, Would Work later this spring. Until then, enjoy this creepy video for the song “Feet of Clay”.

Four-piece Ponytail is ready to release their third full-length album. The awesomely named Do What You Want All The Time will be out on We Are Free by April 12th.
To get audiences ready for what to expect when they finally have the finished product, the Baltimore band has released a video that combines various mash-ups to go along with different parts of songs on the album. It’s quite the experience. You can check it out right here.

Look for Do What You Want on April 12th. In the meantime, that video should tide you over.
With their new short film “Rocketeer L.A. Dreamer,” Far East Movement hope to take fans behind the scenes of their crazy lives. Using downtown L.A. as the backdrop, the short film shows fans the inspiration behind their current single, “Rocketeer,” and the community of dreamers that Far East Movement came up in. For the live music portion of the video, the group used the same set up of old mics and amps they used to rehearse with.
