Check out The Danks’ new album Gank on First Spins now

June 4th, 2013

The Danks have an undeniable penchant for penning unabashedly and infectiously pop melodies. Gank, the band’s second full-length, is packed with enough bright hooks and Strokes-esque riffs that The Strokes themselves are probably a little jealous. Every song on this album has a comforting familiarity to them, but are all completely original. Lead singer Brohan [...]

May 29th, 2013

We must admit that one of our favourite genres right now is what Danish duo Quadron calls “electronic soul”.

Avalanche is the [...]

Imaginary Cities wants to make big pop music. No, not David Guetta-style big, but ambitious and fully realized pop songs, filled with layers of instruments and a myriad of genres blending together. Their latest release, Fall of Romance, does just that. Its spaced out album cover suggests lots of intergalactic synths or Daft Punk parody, [...]
