New Album Alert: Various Cruelties' Debut Album Released Today



Do we fade out, or burn like the sun,
Do we let it or go or hold on,
Do we see this through together as one,
Do we go it alone into the great unknown?

New Music Video: Foster The People - Houdini


Got Shackles On My Wings On Tight
Begging Making Compromise
Fast Enough It's Hard To Die
Sometimes I Want To Disappear

Band of the Week: Young the Giant

I have not posted anything on this site in about 2 months. No worries however, because from here on out this site will be updated regularly. Anyway, this week's Band of the Week is Young the Giant. I saw them perform last month at the Electric Factory. Grouplove opened for them and both bands put on a great show. Young the Giant also announced that their second album would be coming out in the spring of next year. They performed a few new songs at the gig, including one song entitled "Camera". If the rest of the songs are as good as the new songs performed at the gig, we can expect an album that is just as good as their first album, the self titled LP "Young the Giant". Young the Giant ended their performance with the song below, "My Body".


My Body Tells Me No
But I Won't Quit
'Cause I Want More
'Cause I Want More
