New York City duo MS MR have a new song out named “Hurricane” and boy, is it strong. “Hurricane” is a open book tale of an untold regret. The lyrics are raw, dark and spoken at an emotionally vurnerable pose. Referring to a unknown god-like entity in the third verse “Lady Diamond” is her guiding light when she has fallen in front of someone she cares for. This anthemic song will have you clicking this << often as one listen never feels like enough.
Hellllllllloooooooooooooo + some music

Where have all the great guys at FFF gone to lately?! Well, as you know, evil doesn’t take a break and we have been out fighting all kinds of evil forces. Ok, the reality is, I think we’re all a little excited that spring is here and making every effort to make the most of it and enjoy some sunshine. My excuse is, that I recently was able to take a little mini-vacation to Europe where I got to meet up with fellow FFF contributor Kyle is his adopted city of Madrid, Spain. Great city. We made the most of every night and decided sleep could take a few nights off.
Here is a great new Sydney quintet, The Preachers. Their new song ‘Take a Card’ is garnishing attention on radio station Triple J unearthed music is Australian music’s holy grail for getting noticed. A fun duet, that’ll be sure to boost your spirits.
here’s the video

Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux, and Serengeti have teamed up to form s / s / s – an electronic, slow-rap spitting, sonic jam, indie group. On the first track from their upcoming Beak & Claw EP one can easily hear each artist’s contribution: Sufjan drops some auto-tuned hooks while Serengeti delivers the slow, off-kilter rhymes. And Son Lux fans will recognize the slow-building, arena sized beat that mounts and escalates until it has no other option than to dissolve into his repeated words: “I am recoloring”. The track is a big contradiction; the rhymes are dark and seep through the beat, while the hooks and choruses are high pitched and they ride on top of it. But you can tell that it all works together, as your head nods and your eyebrows furrow into a confused look: “I think I kinda like this.”
s / s / s – “Museum Day”
Beak & Claw is out 3/20 on Anticon and it will also feature My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Worden and Themselves rapper Doseone.

Very excited to share South Australian rock band Wolf & Cub. This is the first time I’ve heard of these guys, but I’m loving what they’ve recently released – See the Light and All Through the Night. Hope to hear more from them in the near future!

“Tennis”, the husband-and-wife duo of Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley are a breath of fresh air. Their sound, until recently, have been straight out of the 50′s diner era. In their recent release, “Petition” we hear a new fantastic branch out in their sound. Alaina’s voice seemingly floats over the verses effortlessly, leading us into the piano-heavy catchy chorus. Myself, I’ve had this track on repeat the last few days and I still can’t keep this chorus out of my head, although I’m sure I don’t have the words right…

Happy Friday!
Imagine Dragons is an amazingly talented group from Las Vegas (heard of it??). I was perusing this years line up for South by Southwest (SXSW) festival and ran into these guys’ live version of their song ” It’s Time”. Talk about killing it! These guys nail it live and I think I prefer the live version to the original! Expect big things for these guys and gals..
Here’s the original too

Fly My Pretties

G’day! Today I’d like to introduce a fantastic band from New Zealandthat goes by the name of Fly My Pretties. Featuring members of already well established Kiwi bands, this collaboration comes together every few years to create a live album, much to the pleasure of anyone living in the capital city of Wellington. Barnaby Weir, lead singer in the band “The Black Seeds” is their front man and pioneer, but a whole host of other talented NZ musicians are featured. I am a huge fan of this type of music because it is the true essence of music. There are no fancy light shows, the music isn’t changed in a studio and anyone who joins, joins because of their love of live music. What you see is what you get. Enjoy, my pretties
first up, is a beautiful acoustic song “Singing in my soul”. One of my favourites.
second off their 2009 album “A Story” is Old Friend another beauty and a taste of how good their live show is.
last but not least, a powerful song by Anna Codington. Unreal.

This man is one of my all time favorite artists. Through good times, bad times, and even the worst of times, Hayden and his phenomenal music have been by my side. It all started in 97, I was watching MuchMusic in my kitchen when I caught the video for “As Bad as They Seem“. (Yes, MuchMusic used to play music!!!) I had the album within a day or two and it has since been a staple of my collection. In the years since then he has released a number of albums, each one improving upon his sound and story telling.
A few years ago I had the pleasure of seeing him perform with Cuff the Duke at the Vogue theater here in Vancouver and it was hands down, one of the very best live shows I have ever seen. You know the mark of a truly great band is when they sound as good live as they do on the stereo in the comfort of your home. Hayden certainly did not disappoint in this respect!
His folk music spans the spectrum of emotions, and while often somber he has some amazing upbeat work as well. Here are some of his tracks, both old and new so you can get acquainted. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years!

No, not the vacation paradise but rather Canadian solo artist Afie Jurvanens’ alias. He has been linked to many other bands including playing piano for Feist. His latest track off of his sophomore album is a smooth stratocasteristic love song.
