Lead singer Kim Krans, is the center of attention here, in Family Band‘s new video “Night Song”, from their upcoming album Grace & Lies. I simply can’t tell if her face is painted sometimes, or if it’s some kind of shadow, but it’s amazing how they’ve done it here. Also the beat is out of control, thinking about sampling it over here in the studio… WATCH THE VIDEO HERE… enjoy!

Take a mystical journey across the ocean with Beirut, as you watch a boat sail and sail to their sounds of “The Rip Tide”, from last years LP. Wait until at least 2:40 into the video, where the visuals really start to soar to another level.

Alexis Krauss is so freaking amazing live in concert, and if you can’t see them perform, this is a great up and close version of what Sleigh Bells is like up on stage. Check out “Demons”, I have a feeling you’ll be blasting it this weekend if you do…

Here’s a little electro-pop song from A-Trak and Dillon Francis, that will have you up and dancing with your local ATM machine. Well, that’s whats going on here, where a money machine is brought to life and becomes a hero and celebrity to all. Is this a display of how our society values or better yet celebrates money? Take a look, let me know what you think.

Very simple video of Tennis, performing “My Better Self”, on a live stage. A very 80’s feel to the song, and hard not to watch while the beautiful Alaina Moore, lead-singer, gazes into your eyes. Watch “My Better Self” here.

Ready for some good old garage-grunge-rock? Well The Chrome Cranks will provide just that. They have that effortless sound to them, giving them more of that garage feeling to them. As the songs progress you will notice a great change in tempo and melodic structure. Check out “Rubber Rat” from their new album Ain’t No Lies in Blood them out and let us know what you think.
