You may have not heard of Colin Caulfield, he is still ready to tell you his story. Or rather, stories. The young singer-songwriter, going by the moniker Young Man, has just released his debut EP Boy. He’s also just released the live video for “Just a Growin.’”
Caulfield has started a growing arnsel of music, a mixture of both originals and covers. With his first venture out on his own, he’s turned to writing about himself and the basic troubles of growing up. Check out the video of Caulfield crooning on “Just A Growin’” below.
Cary Ann Hearst writes in her bio on Myspace that “those who hate country music hate her especially for forcing them to like country music.” Indeed, don’t expect to hear Taylor Swift when turning on her music. This South Carolina girl has an edge and roughness seldom heard in today’s country music scene. This week, on My Old Kentucky Blog, she premiered her video for the song “Hells Bells,” off her EP Are you Ready To Die Yet, out on Filter US Recordings. She appears in a silent movie-inspired setting as a joyful bride turned into a murderous betrayed wife. This song was recently featured in HBO’s True Blood; that’s how bloody it gets.
After touring both coasts and making stops in Chicago, Miami and Texas, Melbourne-based group Miami Horror have released a new video for their song “Echoplex.”
Shot on location in Syndey and directed by Cara Stricker, “Echoplex” comes from the band’s recently-released debut album, Illumination, which features contributions from Swedish singer MAI, Melbourne-based chanteuse Kimbra, Dappled Cities’ Tim Derricourt, and Neon Indian/Vega’s Alan Palomo.
After their two successful 7″ releases “Tropics” and “Blood Thrills”, Apache Beat will finally present their debut album, Last Chants, on October 5th! The album, produced and mixed by Martin Bisi, will be out on Babylon/Beverly Martel Records. If you’ve been following Apache Beat, you’ll surely recognize their previous single “Your Powers are Magic” among the new material but you will also discover a few collaborations with some members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Rapture and Lightspeed Champion.
And speaking of recognizable tunes, Apache Beat just premiered a video for their crowd favorite “Another Day,” which premiered on SPIN.com this week. Directed by Cherise Payne, who has previously worked with Friendly Fires and singer-songwriter Jack Peñate, the video is a succession of trippy, colorful images of eyes, waterfalls, explosions and fireworks that melt and dissolve into one another to create a delightfully psychedelic chaos in which the band appears by transparency. Warning: You may get a bit dizzy.
Dr. Dog have had a record year. They released a new album, they’ve had two successful headlining tours and now they have a new video and another headlining tour to boot.
The indie rockers from Philly have released the video for their track “Shadow People” off the album Shame, Shame. The basic setting of the video: the laid-back track is set in a roller rink. Check it out below.
The band will also be hitting the road with the likes of Good Old War, and Here We Go Magic. Be sure to catch them as they run through your town. And for all those San Francisco fans, go here for a special two-day pass for their two-night stint at The Fillmore.

Vampire Weekend, the indie rock entrepreneurs, are taking another stride on their victory lap post-Contra. The album, their second out on XL Recordings, hit #1 on the Bilboard Charts it’s opening weekend and Vampire Weekend began taking over late night television. Hitting up Colbert and pretty much every network talk show known to man, even one that no longer exists (Conan still lives), Vampire Weekend don’t have a lot of places left to go. Thankfully, they have been invited to play on Ellen on September 28, and have chosen to play their new single, “Holiday.” A secret song, of sorts, will also be played and not aired, but you can watch it over HERE. And no, Lil’ P-Nut is not expected to guest, but you never know.
