The Coathangers are a modern day, Dirty South answer to The Runaways; and a hell of a lot better if you ask me. We’ve been listening to their records for quite some time now and we’re happy to report that they’re hitting us in the face again with a new track inspired by NOLA called Hurricane. The track is from their upcoming album Larceny & Lace, releasing on June 7th.
Cristo Disco originally introduced this track to us a while back, and it randomly came up on Georgios‘ iPod the other day. Ever since, we’ve been bumping this track several times a day during our tour across The South. It’s hilarious, but if you’re stuck in a farty van for hours at a time, this song can give you the motivation you need to power through the last few hundred miles of a grueling trip.
This is what I’ve been listening to for a few days straight ever since JSol & Apple Juice played it for us while we were meeting on an upcoming project this week. New sound of ATL? Maaaybe!
Everyone’s favorite Swedish 3-piece rock outfit is back with a new album, Gimme Some, releasing on March 29th, 2011. The first single, Second Chance, marks the band’s return to pure pop rock which is what many have been yearning to hear from them for a few albums now. Previous albums have been darker and/or more experimental but it’s expected that this newest effort will not disappoint. It’s a pleasure to hear the band straight rocking out.
Stranger Day’s newest track has me wanting more. Word on the street is that he has a full album ready for our earholes and this is just a taste of what’s to come. Moonwalking on the Sun (Produced by EMYND) features a freshened-up version of The Clash’s London Calling beat which makes for an awesome listen.

This dude Evan Roth just melted my face with his Girl Talk on Girl Talk mashup. This takes Girl Talk’s Night Ripper and beat-matches it with his previous album, All Day. Whaaaa?!?
Smith Westerns new album opens with the peppy & optimistic track, Weekend. The musical maturity of this Chicago four-piece causes many casual listeners to assume they’re an older group; yet they range between 18-20 years old. Imagine if everyone’s skills were realized before they were legally allowed to drink! I know I’d be thankful to have a few productive years from my teens back!
This new, web-only album by Gorillaz was recorded over 32 days during their North American Tour in the fall of 2010. The most interesting tidbit about the album is that it was recorded primarily on the iPad. If groups like Gorillaz are harnessing the studio-like capabilities of the iPad now, imagine what creatives will be capable of in a few short years! The entire album, The Fall, is available on the band’s website.
Stranger Day is at it again a video for his new single, I’m Not Playin’. Remember in March when we brought the big homie down from Charlotte to play our 1st Anniversary party? We told you he was up to big things…

It’s so refreshing to see/hear an artist break molds and cross genres successfully. After hearing F**k You for the first time, I was hoping Cee Lo’s new album, The Lady Killer, would carry an old school feel and Cee Lo delievered the sound I was looking for on multiple tracks. Upon first listen, Satisfied, was instantly my new favorite song.
