You've been good to me, baby.

First off, I would like to congratulate my new writers on a fantastic first week. Being that WNR is my child, it was hard to hand my baby over to a new staff of sitters. But they done good. REAL good. Hell, I think they're even doing better than me.

Well, enough of my e-patting their backs... time to move on with my weekly dose for you readers.


Who came first? The Shout Out Louds or Shout Out Out Out Out? Although the name leaves room for confusion when scrolling through your playlist, the sound definitely won't. 2 drummers, 4 bass players, 2 samplers and 5 synthesizers combined with a couple of vocoders... and voila! This infectious electro-disco-punk-house sextet has you moving with their wittily titled songs.

Procrastinator's Fight Song has become my new theme song, and I'm excited that these guys are touring in March. I mean, just check out their setup in this video... the 2 drummers are stacked, one on top of the other. If you're interested in checking them out too, here are their dates:

3/8: Boston @ Paradise Lounge w/Cassette
3/9: NYC @ Southpaw w/120 Days
3/10: NYC @ Mercury Lounge w/120 Days

Wiretree's sound is so big, your ears would have a hard time believing it was the work of just one man - Kevin Peroni. Citing influences such as The La's, ELO, Brendan Benson, and Sparklehorse... his music has a twist of Elliot Smith meets Matthew Sweet with a touch of The Shins. Kevin's voice is just simply divine.

And last but not least...


New Young Pony Club have a new release coming out soon, and I can't wait. I'm sure you can't either, so here is the new single (set for February release) along with a Phones remix to get you hyped.
