Last night, Jack’s Mannequin performed “Release Me” on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. The performance was great as usual. Read my review of their concert from back in October, and make sure you buy their new album People & Things on iTunes. Audio Perv

At The Drive-In Reunite
by MooseRate •
I’ll get to the point-At The Drive-In are one of the most important modern alternative, or even plain rock bands of the last ten to fifteen years. They almost single-handedly rewrote the book on emo/post-hardcore and NO band has matched their formula yet. Not even close. If you’re familiar with post-hardcore band, Sparta, or, more…
The Shins- ‘Simple Song’

M83- ‘Midnight City’ (Eric Prydz Private Remix)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
As you may know, ‘Midnight City’ turned out to be one of my favorite songs of 2011 and Eric Prydz did an amazing job remixing it. Although many Americans don’t know of Eric because of his fear of flying (he has never set foot in the U.S.), the Swedish DJ has been delivering top class mixes…

Adventure Club Dubstep
by Anthony Porcelli •
“Chill Dubstep” is dubstep for the people that hate dubstep; it’s dubstep that still sounds like music and not just a conglomerate of loud bass. Adventure Club makes some of my favorite chill dubstep songs, especially since they remix a lot of indie and rock music, stuff that you’d never expect to be made into…
Gotye- “Somebody That I Used To Know” (Feat. Kimbra)
by Anthony Porcelli •
Okay, this song’s old, I know. Its actually older than the site is… BUT this song had to be posted. I heard this on Alt-Nation the other day, downloaded it right when I got home, and had it on repeat ever since. There’s something so haunting about this song, maybe its the deep bass line,…
