The Subjects



Daytrotter: "The line I want to use to describe The Subjects is from the exasperated phone call scene in 'Back to Future', where Marvin Berry- wth his bloddy, bandaged playing hand - punches his cousin Chuck's phone number and says, "You know that new sound you've been looking for?

Consequence Of Sound: "... classical work with eccentric pop work that is light and fresh with just enough thud and kick to… Continue

The Drums





The Drums Announce West Coast Tour!



Hey Everyone! Check out The Drums. Probably one of our FAVORITE bands of the year.





"They do a kind of surfy version of New Order, bright and clattery, a minimalist collision of the 1950s and the 1980s. The best thing about the beach is that it’s so giant and uncomplicated — a way of life broken down to water, sun and rocks in various states of distress" -- New York… Continue

Listen to the song "Maybe Tonite", I know within a matter of seconds you will be turning up the volume, hoping in your car and making one last escape into… Continue

The Twees EP Review



Turn Up The Sound favorites, The Twees, recently released their new EP...and it's fantastic! Their EP entitled 'Lessons To Connect', mixes pop and indie rock reminding you of a mixture of The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, 'Full Circle' showcases this comparison the most out of all the songs. Head bopping beats and catchy lyrics make 'Lessons To Connect' one of the years best releases, it's a shame more people have yet to have discovered The… Continue
