The Horrors have a new video for their track, So Now You Know. The video was released last month. The band's new LP, Luminous, comes out May 6, 2014 on XL Recordings.

The band is playing USA shows (dates below). You can pre-order now on iTunes and get two instant tracks for your trouble.

The Whigs have a new video for the song, Hit Me. The track is off their new LP, Modern Creation, out April 22, 2014.

The band is touring now--and it is a massive tour. It continues well into next year. You can find out more and check out dates near you at www.thewhigs.com.

People, out of Brooklyn, have a debut LP, 3xaWoman, coming out June 17, 2014 on Telegraph Harp. You can check out two songs below, Piles for Miles and Liklihood of Bang. Listen to them. The band is a little hard to define? The music has an edge to it but also has well-defined pop sensibilities. The songs have elements that will many anyone only comfortable with run of the mill pop...uncomfortable.

This is good stuff and you really should keep an eye open for more from the band and the new label.

Pujol has a new single, Circles, off their upcoming second LP, Kludge. You can check it out via Soundcloud, HERE. They are also heading out on tour. Dates are below.

The band is an amalgamation of underground music trends of the past several decades. It is lo-fi but with energy, it is dark but not self consciously so (ie no black lipstick here). Circles will be released as a 7 inch green vinyl limited edition Record Store Day release. The single will include an exclusive b-side, A Demo of Egyptian Afterlife.

Action Beat + G.W. Sok have a new LP, A Remarkable Machine, coming out April 18, 2014. You can check out the song, Spoonfeed Hell, below. The band is currently on tour with the dates (but not all the venues?) are below. This is the band's first tour with vocalist G.W. Sok. This record had the music recorded first and then those songs were handed off to Sok. It sounds like an interesting record.

The song below has a sort of spooky element doesn't it? It sounds like a rock n roll version of some music from a 50s alien invasion movie.

Tour
4/17 - Schaffhausen, CH
4/18 - Lyon, FR
4/19 - Chalons Sur Saone, FR
4/20 - Karlsrhue, DE

The Warren G. Hardings' new LP, Get A Life, is bluegrass with a difference. First of all it isn't from Appalachia but the Pacific Northwest (Portlandia bluegrass?...ok..ok... they are from Seattle). It has a wee bit of punk and a lot more aggression than what is standard in "Americana" these days. You can check out a video below.

Not really sure if this is out or when it is coming out since the press release left that out.

We Are the Brave, from Australia, have a remix LP coming--Sparrow (The Remixes) comes out April 22, 2014. Remixes come from the likes of; Rich Morel (Morel/BLOWOFF/Deathfix), The Dualists, Culture Fires (aka MANIK), Nightriders and Gnome.

You can get the Sparrow (Alcala Remix) free via Soundcloud. This track isn't included in the EP. This is moody electronic music that will stilk make you want to dance. Of course it will be a little bit of a melancholy dance.

A new single is coming later in the spring of 2014.

Amen Dunes have a new song, I Can't Dig It, which you can check out below. The tune is off their upcoming LP, Love, out May 13, 2014.

Bell is based in New York but  born in Russia. The LP is her second LP. In the past she has written about Russian cities. Now she approaches the rural areas of Russian and it's neighbors.

Hand Practices, from Chicago, have a new...two song album, Hanging Out With James Franco. Some of us call this a single but not Hand Practices who are pretty high concept.

In truth, I saw them live awhile ago and I make sure to check out everything they do ever since. You should too. This single is available as "name you price" but I would encourage you to not be a cheapskate.
