Throughout his years of traveling, John Andrews has documented his life with his home recordings. His first record, Bit By The Fang, found him living in the amish country of Lancaster, PA. His latest record, Bad Posture finds him waving farewell to Pennsylvania & greeting the wooded hills of Barrington, NH. Sitting on top of one of these hills, coined Mt. Misery, is the colonial era farmhouse John now calls his home. This is where Bad Posture was born.
John Andrews & The Yawns have a new music video for “Windmill” off their recently released album, Bad Posture on Woodsist Records. This video cretes the perfect vibe for the record! You can go HERE to order.

On April 7th, Guided By Voices is set to launch August By Cake. It represents the 100th studio album that Robert Pollard has released since 1986’s Forever Since Breakfast. To put that in perspective, Bob Dylan has released roughly 39 studio albums since 1959. And that includes the Traveling Wilburys!

This first ever GBV double record has multiple treats, as it contains song contributions from all five band members. From ABC we have a video for the opening track “5° On The Inside.” It is a little snapshot of Rockathon (Pollard’s label) and Dayton, OH. You will also catch some throwback to the “The Official Ironmen Rally Song” video from the Under the Bushes Under the Stars (1996) album which just celebrated its 21st birthday.

The band has some Spring tour dates, including Coachella Festival which are below. You can order the record HERE. Enjoy the video.

Tiny Engines welcomed Chicago three-piece Yeesh to their roster in 2016 for the release of their sophomore LP, Confirmation Bias. Yeesh have a loaded indie rock cannon and now a video to match with “End Results.”

The video for Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings’ rendition of “Please Come Home For Christmas” from the holiday album It’s A Holiday Soul Party! was just released. Completed and planned for release before Sharon Jones lost her battle with pancreatic cancer, the song’s heartbreaking sentiment now feels more powerful. Watch the stop-motion claymation video, made in the style of holiday classics like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

This past week saw family, friends and fans gather in Brooklyn, NY and Augusta, GA to celebrate Sharon at memorials in each of her home cities. All fans will soon be able to celebrate Sharon’s strength, courage, humor and talent at home too. The critically acclaimed documentary Miss Sharon Jones! will be available worldwide on Netflix beginning January 7.

If you get Brian Eno to work on your album I would say you are doing quite well. The Gift have done just that and return with a new single, “Love Without Violins,” featuring Eno, who co-wrote, produced and sings on the track.
The single offers the first taste of The Gift’s newly developed experimental sound with Eno. And, with a new album in the pipeline for next spring, they’re set to be heard in 2017.

“The One Moment,” OK Go’s new video, is incredibly intricate and elaborate, but it only took one moment to shoot. Directed by OK Go singer Damian Kulash, Jr., “The One Moment” has short periods of real time at the beginning and end, but the bulk of it was captured in a mere 4.2 seconds. During the film, band members create and interact with hundreds of synchronized, high-speed events, choreographed to the cathartic song about the most important moments in life, those moments when everything changes. Coming at this time of great change around the world, the song underscores the opportunity and need for people to step up, step out and make a difference.

If this video would have been released during the MTV days, OK Go would be an unstoppable phenomenon as a band right now just based on the incredible detail within “The One Moment.” Even if you are not a big fan of OK Go or the song, you should check out the video becuase it is a true art.

Brother O’ Brother’s live performance has been dubbed some of the best live shows in all of Indianapolis by multiple press outlets. Mix MC5 with early Black Keys and you’ve got it.

Based out Indianapolis, Indiana, Brother O’ Brother has toured heavily to the tune of about 100 shows in 2016 including Festivals, played at both Third Man Records locations, and opened for AWOLNATION, Kongos, and Blue October among larger nationals.

This is their new video for “Wolf In Sheeps Clothing,” which you can find on their excellent 2015 record Show Pony. The band always has some great looking vinyl pressings with quality labels like Fonoflo, Shedhouse, Grimtale, Romanus, and Jett Plastic so make sure to search them out. The band is set to release a new full length LP in 2017.

Until then – check out the new video and heed caution – never answer a business card left on your car at a gas station!
