Young the Giant write the sort of soaring, melodic music that allows for chiming guitars, haunting harmonies and up-tempo sun stained pop to all find their own purpose. Hailing from Orange County, California, their self-titled debut album is imbibed with the freshness of Newport Beach, where the band wrote much of the album Although the…

Bella Union’s new signings for 2011, Treefight for Sunlight, are currently playing their first ever shows in London, and we have come across their most recent music video.

It’s retro psychedelic fantastic. Enjoy! Song by Crystal Castles and Robert Smith Video by Video Marsh Cinematography and editing…

Instrumental ensemble Bombazine Black have released a music video for their track “Dark Kellys”. If you like the music of Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You!

One of the tracks that didn’t get nearly enough love in 2010 was this one… Grouplove‘s “Colours”. They recently launched the official music video and it’s here for your entertainment! Beautifully shot, skillfully edited and enjoyably dark, this is one damn fine music video, to accompany one damn fine song.

We kick off the New Year with a brilliantly psychedelic music video from Melbourne artist Teeth and Tongue. The track, “Sad Sun” is an alternate version of the single released in November 2009. The track will feature on Teeth and Tongues’ forthcoming album Tambourine, set for release in April 2011. The video is a imaginative,…

Yesterday saw the premiere of the new video “Kush” – the first single from Detox (out in 2011) featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon. Oh and did we mention the song is helmed by none other than Dr. Dre? That’s right bitches. Dr. Dre is back. “It’s a fun song, it’s hot and people seem to…

New Zealand’s Die! Die! Die! are favourites on our own shores, and they’ve released their new single “Wasted Lands” – accompanied by quite the interesting music video. Check it out here! “Wasted Lanes” is taken from their third album Form, out now via Flying Nun / Remote Control.

My Chemical Romance are back with a surprisingly cool video for new single “Sing”. Pretty epic. Who doesn’t love lasers? Is it just me though or does this totally feel out of place with the song itself? We’ll let you be the judge!

Yes, Lykke Li. I would like to get some indeed. Wait, what? You’re a prostitute? Quite interesting lyrics – and this track is easily one of my favourite tracks of the year. Thankfully, the video does not disappoint and give us plenty of time to enjoy Lykke’s beauty. OK, this video is distracting me from other…

One of my all time favourite music video directors (and directors in general) is back, and he’s bringing with him the new one from Canada’s Arcade Fire. “The Suburbs” was one of the tracks off of the new album (of the same name) to drop pretty early on, and it gave us Arcade Fire a…

YouTube seem to be removing the video faster than you can say TWIN FLAMES! So quick! Check out the new video from Klaxons. It’s NSFW. It’s gross. But it’s pretty amazing all at the same time.  Click HERE to search for the video clip online if it’s not working!

Dead Letter Chorus have returned with new single “Run, Wild”. Directed by Jefferton James, the track is from their second album, due out early 2011 on ABC Music.

This (live-ish) music video has been floating around the interwebs for months, but Mumford and Son‘s “Roll Away Your Stone” is finally an official single down in Australia. What took them so long?

This song was written by David McComb and performed by his last band, Costar. The Blackeyed Susans have also performed this song.

With three successful singles already lifted from their platinum album “April Uprising”, it comes as little surprise that John Butler Trio have returned with a fourth.
