Los Angeles synth-pop group Tic Tic Boom! recently recorded a live session with Jam in the Band. Watch them perform the track “Cells” in the video below:
Canadian indie-rock quartet Les Jupes had the video of their latest single “If This Is The Light” premiered on Seattle tastemaker site Sound on the Sound. The group has been touring the U.S. with a showcase at SXSW, and additional stops in Chicago, Denver, Portland, and Seattle.
Said the Whale (@SaidtheWhale) are preparing for their March 6 album release of Little Mountain (Hidden Pony/EMI) by regularly offering videos as exclusives, coinciding with 13 of the 15 album tracks. The video for “Big Sky, MT” is the first U.S. premiere and second in the series, and has been unveiled via Consequence of Sound (@CoSLive). The storyline closely follows the vivid lyrical imagery of the song, which depicts the unconditional love between a child and its grandfather. This follows last week’s debut of the iPhone-inspired video for“We Are 1980” via Exclaim. The band partnered with Vancouver-based production company Amazing Factory to help them re-imagine their songs into vignettes, and eleven more are set to debut each Tuesday through the arrival of Said the Whale’s third full-length, and beyond.

The first video from Said the Whale for their upcoming LP Little Mountain (Hidden Pony/EMI) was premiered today on Exclaim.ca. Vocalist and guitarist Tyler Bancroft is in an iPad world!
From now until Tuesday at midnight, The Jealous Sound is offering a full stream of their upcoming album A Gentle Reminder, to be released on Tuesday, January 31st (Amazon pre-order). The stream is available through SoundCloud (snd.sc/A6eZ5N) to share and embed.
A Gentle Reminder is the long-awaited follow-up to The Jealous Sound’s debut LP Kill Them with Kindness, which was named one of Spin‘s best albums of ’03 and described by Pitchfork as, “somewhere between the professionalism of Jimmy Eat World’s Bleed American and your favorite slice of homegrown emotion.” The newest LP promises not only to be a worthy successor of the highly-praised debut, but reveals the foursome at the top of its craft.
