Yesterday, AOL premiered the new Lelia Broussard video. The video is for her infectious song "Satellite" which is from her recently released album Masquerade.
I really dig the album and recommend giving it a listen. Check out the video below.
U.S. Royalty released their debut album, MIRRORS, yesterday. Check it o
ut, it's on my list of recommended listens. Also yesterday, they announced they would be embarking on a tour. They'll be out on the road with Broken Records. That means good news for New York. We'll have two opportunities to catch the band. They will be on the LES at Mercury Lounge on February 22 and the following night, February 23, they'll be in Brooklyn at The Rock Shop. In addition to a list of tour dates, we have for your listening pleasure, another MP3. Hop down to the bottom of the post for "Monte Carlo" in the MP3 Grab.
"With this record we wanted to present a body of work, a complete thought," says singer John Thornley. To achieve this, the band wrote and rewrote songs for a year, demoing and dissecting while on the road and at home. John continues, "Because we traveled for about a year and a half before we recorded the album, there is definitely a travel vibe to the record."

e bring to you today, Elbow! They have a new record coming out March 7 in the UK ... not sure if we have the same release date over here on this side of the pond. The album is called build a rocket boys! and was produced and mixed by keyboardist Craig Potter.

Our friends at ResidentBand have released Episode 030. This episode

Welsh band The Joy Formidable have announced US tour dates. New Yo
rk is one of the cities they'll be playing. They're scheduled to be at Webster Hall on Friday, April 29 so mark your calendars. Complete list of dates are at the bottom of the post. The band will be releasing their self-produced album The Big Roar on March 15 in the US via Canvasback/Atlantic Records. The album was released in the UK on January 24. Check out the video for "Austere" below. The single that is out now.
The Joy Formidable are on the verge of releasing their new album, The Big Roar, on March 15 via Canvasback/Atlantic Records. In the UK, the album will be released on January 24. The Big Roar comes two years after The Joy Formidable released their debut album in February of 2009, the indie-rock explosion of A Balloon Called Moaning, which SPIN magazine named one of the 10 Best Records You Might Have Missed in 2010. The band has since tightened their focus and loosened their sound, allowing for the choruses to be more anthemic and the colossal rush of guitars and melodic hooks to stand out in their jaw-dropping splendor. NME praised the band and album, calling lead-singer Ritzy Bryan "rock's new heroine," and proclaiming The Big Roar "an LP that ultimately delivers on every count on the four years of promise leading up to it-primarily in its gutsy, chest-swelling brilliance."
