Tokyo Police Club- 10 Days/10 Covers/10 Years



I can't not talk about Tokyo Police Club's incredibly fun 10 Days/10 Covers/10 Years project, in which they- you guessed it- cover one song a day from each of the last 10 years (2001-2010). It's being sponsored by Polaroid, so you can check it out here. There's some unlikely song choices making for a really interesting bunch of tracks. They've just passed the halfway mark, but I thought I would post what I think are the standouts:

Jimmy Eat World's Sweetness (Featuring Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit) by TokyoPoliceClub
The Strokes' Under Control by TokyoPoliceClub
Phoenix's Long Distance Call (Featuring Ray Suen of Mariachi El Bronx) by TokyoPoliceClub


Caitlin Park- Warriors With Wild Hearts

Up-and-coming indie folk artist Caitlin Park has been getting a lot of attention in recent months, with her well-received debut EP Warriors With Wild Hearts garnering her plenty of positive reviews and rotation on Triple J. The title track is a chilled out number that effortlessly blends elements of folk and electronica. She has also just dropped the first single Baby Teeth, from her upcoming debut album Milk Annual, out next month. If you want to hear it you can head over to her Triple J Unearthed page here.

Shontay Snow - Debut EP launch


Perth songstress Shontay Snow is about to release her debut EP after making music and playing it live since 2008. She has a truly amazing voice, comparable to the likes of other beautiful Aussie girls Julia Stone and Lisa Mitchell. It goes without saying, if you like those two artists, you’re definitely going to fall for Shontay’s beautiful lyrics. There are only two songs available to listen to on the web at the moment, and they are Fizz and Small Trees, and that’s fine because they’re absolutely amazing. Fizz is going to sound killer in summer, perfect for kicking back and relaxing. I can definitely see this girl going far, and I look forward to hearing some new stuff. Take a listen below

Big Scary - Gladiator

One of the most diverse and talented bands I know, Big Scary, have released another single from their upcoming debut album. This is the second single, after their first wonderful song Mix Tape. The song is a rocking tune, that showcases both Tom and Jo's amazing vocals. I'm pretty excited for this album, because their seasons collection idea and their delivery blew me away. Vacation if the name of their debut album, and they still haven't released information of their Australia tour, but I'll keep you posted. I've also included the film clip to their first single below so be sure to check that out too.

TV On The Radio have already released one of the best albums of the year in my opinion, with many stand out songs off their album. They have just released the video for the wonderful song Second Song, have a look and be blown away.
