Brite Futures “Baby Rain”

New and exciting news about Seattle’s Brite Futures, the artists formerly known as Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head! They have a new album out November 1st and just released a sneak peak track, “Baby Rain,” for our listening pleasure.  The new album is a youthful swaggering mix of synth-happy pop, rock, funk, disco, and New Wave that the band likes to describe as “punk rock Abba disco Osmonds with chainsaws.” I’m in love!

Napoleon in Rags “Empty Promises “

Check out the single “Empty Promises” by Swindon’s indie/pop/punk get-up, Napoleon in Rags. The track is high-energy with a catchy beat and lyrics to go with it. The band describes their sound as  ‘melodramatic pop,” and ‘Empty Promises’ is no exception to this rule! The band is giving away the single for free – as well as some great remixes by critically acclaimed German electronic music acts VIMES and WAFT AND BREEZE

Gung Ho “Twin Rays”

My current obsession? The latest jam from Gung Ho, a three piece indie surf-pop band hailing from Brisbane (home sweet home)! “Twin Rays” is a a light, breezy, and inescapably cool track. The perfect summer song. Definitely keep your eyes out for these fellows, and their debut EP is due out in early 2012.
