Absolutely loving the new @FRabbits so far

March 7, 2016 by morningaftershow

painting of a panic attack

I mocked up a new playlist on the weekend to soundtrack our adventures and I was sure to include what new Frightened Rabbit music was out there.

Their new record is called Painting of a Panic Attack and comes out on April 8th from Rough Trade. The Scottish band went to the Ditmas Park area of Brooklyn to record the album with Aaron Dessner of The National.

I have this song on repeat!

Back from a whirlwind tour of Victoria. I went for the day yesterday to do some work on our rental apartment….met up with my brother. Had a lunch at Spinnakers, met a wedding couple, a few other chores and back to the ferry. Too fast! Gunna have to make a time for a proper visit.

Go with yourself.

New music from @BearHandsBand, and I love that @LukasGraham song

March 4, 2016 by morningaftershow

me on TV
Hey, they put me on TV again…this time it was to speculate why the Squamish Festival was cancelled.

Watch it on the Global Morning News.

Face for radio right?

OK…some musics.

Fuck, woke up crushed by allergies. Love spring. Love Vancouver….but starting in February it starts getting green and flowery in this part of the world, and fuck me.

Bear Hands is cool. Band is from Brooklyn. They had a couple radio hits. New record is called You’ll Pay For This and its’ out on April 15th.

First single is “2AM.”  Nothing good happens after 2AM….it’s like they’ve partied in Vancouver before….

***

When Lukas Graham‘s “7 Years” came out, I wanted to hate it. But I can’t. And the dude is from Copenhagen? Neat. Happiest place on Earth so the internet says.

Happy Friday!

Go with yourself.

New music from @M83News LET’S TRY IT!

March 1, 2016 by morningaftershow

New music from M83 today. The new record is called Junk is out on April 8th. He has a mega tour on the go (no Vancouver date…sadness), and first listen. Song is called “Do It, Try It.”

I’m sorry, I’d upload some pics today of cover art and stuff, but for last few blog post wordpress seems to be having a glitch and the uploader isn’t working. C’est la vie.

Go with yourself.

Checking out the @MarkHoppus produced @WeHavePaws

March 1, 2016 by morningaftershow

Paws

Scottish punkers PAWS worked with Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus on their new record No Grace. The first single is simply called “No Grace.” Record is out on June 17th. Like the vibe of this cut.

This is silly.

Jiving on @officialKoni’s “work” remix/cover

March 1, 2016 by morningaftershow


It was the big kid’s 8th birthday last week, so my wife and I bought her a bike. Look at that…riding a bike is just like…riding a bike.

My man Koni sent his latest cover song/remix. This time it’s Rihanna’s “Work.”

Koni writes, “When Shaun’s & Emma’s version of “Work“ by Rihanna and Drake was brought to my attention, i was really excited to get a chance to work with them and produce a remix of it. I’m truly happy how it turned out and hope you enjoy it, too!”

Listening to the light and bright @CoastModern’s “animal”

February 23, 2016 by morningaftershow

I was driving around with Coral the other day and Coast Modern‘s “Hollow Life” popped on the radio… she had to Shazzam it as we couldn’t place the song. But always remembered the band. Then today…email comes in pointing the blog toward a new song called “Animals.”

The Los Angeles tag-team blend a clanging percussion sound with a light and lazy vocal and melody.

“Hollow Life” was a moderate hit a few months ago. Almost 400,000 streams on Soundcloud.

Go with yourself.

I got an email today from a band out of Duncan, on Vancouver Island called Shobocon.

Traditional hard rock sound made a little interesting with the male/female vocals. Side-one track-one from their record is called “Cheeky Monkey.”

Savage abrasive rock from @headwoundcity / also atreyuofficial

February 17, 2016 by morningaftershow

HWC-Promo-Photo

Came across this record on Noisey the other day. The band is called Head Wound City and features members of The Blood Brothers, Yeah Yeahs and The Locust.

The single has some harsh sounds, chanty vocals, and dirgey guitar riff hammering away like a chisel.

***

My internetting had me searching radio charts. I saw Atreyu had one lonely spin somewhere in the States last week.

The new video came out just the other day.

So down the rabbit hole we go and here’s a music video from last fall.

 

Go with yourself.
