Maxïmo Park video for Write This Down

The newest video from The National Health from Maxïmo Park. The song is "Write This Down". It's another powerful piece of music.

I'm enjoying the new tunes, boys, but if you could release the album in North America, I'd really appreciate it.

Surprise Song #4

Listen to some new Bob Mould

While this video dates back to February, I just discovered it. Live video of Bob Mould performing two songs from his upcoming album, Silver Age, out September 4. The vocals are pretty buried but the sound is pretty good for a live video. Definitely sounds like Bob's particular brand of power pop. Brilliant as always, Mr. Mould.

New Muse song - Survival

Muse have a new album called The 2nd Law coming out in September. They also have a song for the 2012 London Olympics. That song is "Survival" and you can listen to here:



They lyrics of "I'm gonna win" and "I will survive" sound olympic enough, the overall tonality is just a little dark for what I would think of as an olympic anthem. Looking forward to this album nonetheless.

Haim with Forever

NME put up their 20 Best Songs Of 2012 So Far and while I've already had a number of these bands and tracks on my radar, Haim was brand new to me. They play cool guitars and I like the track "Forever" so maybe you'll like it too. Sounds like a good, summery single.
