Handsome Furs - All We Want, Babe, Is Everything

I am starting to wonder if I like Handsome Furs more than Wolf Parade at this point.

The Raveonettes - Breaking Into Cars

One of the catchiest tracks from The Raveonettes most recent record, In And Out of Control. I have never been able to sit through an entire album of theirs before, but the album on the whole is quite amazing. Highly recommend giving it a listen.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Conscience Killer

When I saw the track listing, I was thinking this track might be more psychedelic as some sort of play off of The Black Angels’ Science Killer. Wrong. Instead? Straight-ahead rock-n-roll. Touch it. Don’t be afraid.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat The Devil’s Tattoo

After speaking with Spike at the Dandy’s Christmas shows I came to learn that the new record was to be a return to their earlier sounds (not to mention he flat out said it was amazing). So the album is going to be darker? More haunting? Mysterious, yet inviting? Check out the title track that picks up where Howl left off (or where Baby 81 opened - it’s up to you) and heads down into the maze.

Cold War Kids - Santa Ana Winds

The new Cold War Kids EP is no disappointment. Four tracks. Most (if not all- coffee spoon is the least memorable) have been played live in the last year. A proper recording of Sermons (previously, Sermons vs. The Gospel). What’s not to love?
