I stumbled upon the new American indie pop band TV Girl (via Miss Moss) just last week and am already smitten with their sound. It reminds me constantly on the music of the 60s and 70s, but maybe that is just my personal impression (Listen to It Evaporates and hopefully you will know what I
The Vaccines got my attention last year with their second single Post Break-Up Sex and I do not exaggerate when I tell you that I heard their album What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? on endless rotation modus and I really looked forward to their performance at the Hurricane festival.

Azealia Banks makes a sort of sound that’s nothing like the stuff I’m ordinary listening to. But you now what? – I REALLY like this CRAZY rap lady. You just have to listen this song and then start to shake your body. I warn you, there’s nothing you can do against it… Like always: All
