New tune Gravity from Surfer Blood

About a month ago, I featured the tune "Demon Dance" from Surfer Blood's forthcoming release called Pythons. Now you can check out "Gravity" below and you can stream the whole thing at NPR.

Pythons is out June 11.

Shout Out Louds with Illusions

Here's the official video for "Illusions" from Shout Out Louds' latest album Optica. Cool tune!

And just cuz I never posted it before, here's the brilliant "Tonight I Have To Leave It" from their first album, 2007's Our Ill Wills.

Chvrches cover Rage Against The Machine

I tend to love covers that are a complete counterpoint to the original tune. Here's a great example by members of the beautiful Chvrches doing a gentle version of Rage Against the Machine's over-the-top rant "Killing in the Name".

Great tune by LoveLikeFire

LoveLikeFire are from San Francisco and they make high energy indie rock. Here's a song from their 2007 EP An Ocean in the Air. The tune's called "From A Tower".

White Lung

Keeping the energy up and the guitars cranked from yesterday's Metz post, here is west-coast Canada's own White Lung.

"Bag"

"Glue"

"Take the Mirror"

"Deadbeat"

Their latest album is Sorry and you can get it now.
