MP3: Buffalo Moon – “Poolside Dreaming”
From Wetsuit; out now via Moon Glyph.

Produced by Lazerbeak. I am so excited for Sims’ new album due out this year!

The Gateway District are a Minneapolis-based punk band I had never heard of until this past Friday at the Soviettes’ reunion show. Awesome pop punk definitely worth checking out. I was particularly blown away by the catchiest chorus I’ve heard in a long time on their track “Lake St. is for Suckers” posted below. Great lyrics and song name as well!
Members include Maren (of the Soviettes and Salteens), Carrie (of American Monsters and Salteens), Brad (of Dear Landlord and Rivethead) and Nate (of Banner Pilot, Off With Their Heads and Rivethead).
MP3: The Gateway District – “Lake St. is for Suckers”

After hearing this song 3 times a day for the past month at work it finally sucked me in with its catchiness. Much like Lookbook, it’s a style of music that I despise but the undeniable awesomeness of it just makes it impossible to hate. Plus they kinda remind me of an electro-pop version of Taking Back Sunday which is a plus in my book.
Neon Trees – “Animal” (from Habits)

Check it out kids, Ryan Adams is back! From the forthcoming full on metal record, Orion, due out sometime soon. More info. available HERE.
Ryan Adams – “Electrosnake”

I love the beat on this track.
“Living Life Too Tough” comes off the brand new The Let’s Be Professionals mixtape from the Twin Cities’ The Tribe & Big Cats! available for download HERE at Midwest Broadcast.

Hot track from Minneapolis’ Nyteowl! If you are a fan of Daft Punk, Phoenix, Sebastien Teller, and basically all things French and electronic sounding then be sure to grab a copy of the debut Romantic Life in April.
The CD release party is April 24 at the Hexagon Bar, with Lookbook, FoodTeam, and Cepia (Ghostly International). This is a special lineup as FoodTeam (Ryan Olcott) helped produced the album, Lookbook sang guest vocals on the track “Do it Right, Tonight”, and Cepia (Huntley Miller) mastered the album.
