Tape The Radio Give Away A Track

 

Tape the Radio is feeling generous, and that’s good for you.

The band is giving away their b-side song “Suffer You, Suffer Me” from their recent single Our Love Is A Broken Heart. The download will cost you some time, because you need to register with Nokia’s new music website Ovi Music.

If you want to hear the single off…the single, you can listen to “Our Love Is A Broken Heart” right here as well.

The band has also just returned from Italy. If you’re feeling a tad jealous, watch their video diary. It may make you a little more jealous but it’s also awesome. You can find it here.

The Good Old War Release Video For “That’s Some Dream”

The Pennsylvania indie-folk male trio, Good Old War, follows up their debut album Only Way to be Alone with the self titled offering featuring a music video from the single “That’s Some Dream.”

The dream, the song and the video all hold a simple theme: living, dying, and being alright with both. The video tells the story of a self discovering journey with like-minded companions. In this case, the journey is a tour and the companions are band mates, and it’s as straightforward as it is poignant.

It’s damn hooky and with a little Paul Simon inspired non-lyrical vocal addition to the chorus (you’ll have to listen to hear what I mean), the song is so damn likeable that you’ll be listening to it more than once in a sitting. As far as the video journal that is the accompanying music video, the personal and endearing nature will make you feel all warm inside.

Chris Garneau Fends Off a “Dirty Night Clown”

With “Dirty Night Clown,” Chris Garneau crafted a vivid and textured song. Director Ryan Gibeau took note of this. And, when he agreed to lens a video for the track, it was with some specific ideas in mind.

“The music created such vivid visuals and Chris was very open to hearing my interpretation for the video. I wanted Chris in the video, but rather than in person, I wanted a puppet representation of him instead. He agreed and we were able to create a compelling, all puppet, story.” said Gibeau.

The entire process of finding the right puppeteer and then filming the video took upwards of two months. But, the final product is quite wonderful.

The Dears At Work On New Album

Montreal rockers, The Dears, have made a name for themselves as a band that can move from electrifying pop, to full-on primal screams; grinding guitar solos, to a soulful baroque. With a musical hiatus since their 2008  album Missiles, The Dears look to announce a forthcoming album  Degeneration Street. The release date is set for February 15th, 2011 on Dangerbird Records.

Produced by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian),  Degeneration Street is said to be a “return to form” for frontman Murray Lightburn and company. The new material traces back to the band’s previous albums such as No Cities Left (2003) and Gang of Losers (2007).
