DOWNLOAD: The Snowdroppers - Do The Stomp (Spank Rock Club Mix)
Australian rockabilly band The Snowdroppers found themselves with a sleeper hit when they released the harmonica-laden "Do The Stomp" in 2009. The inclination to dance to the tune is heightened when revisited by Baltimore booty bass beast, Spank Rock. A "work is something that should be fun" sample in the middle of the cut feels particularly true when you’re thinking...
Prince Rama, Outré Visualisations and Unending Hoards Of Idiots
Oh look – it’s Glastonbury Festival time again. Don’t worry – I won’t air my yearly gripes about the festival again. Oh, OK, then: I hate the fact that a once-unique festival of genuinely alternative lifestyles, music and culture has been hijacked by the Grazia-reading haircut brigade. Sad but true. A trip to Glastonbury used to be a weekend break in a...
DOWNLOAD: Lower Dens - Tea Lights + Hospice Gates
  What exactly is a lower den? A basement jam dojo with ugly carpet and second hand furniture? Because that is exactly the kind of space Baltimore’s Jana Hunter-led Lower Dens sound born from–a zone of effortless, freeing, glassy-eyed casualness. Their Twin-Hand Movement album is out July 20 through Gnomonsong, and judging from "Hospice Gates" and "Tea Lights...

Baltimore MP3s

Raindeer
Diminished Pitch Raindeer’s self-titled, debut EP could well be the best pop record of the year, and it’s made by a little known band based in Baltimore, USA.  Their synth explosions hit all the right notes and their drugged out guitar lines bubble just below the surface waiting to be transported to a world of weed-loving geeks and daisy hugging cyborgs. MGMT’s pop...
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart + caUSE co-MOTION + The Depreciation Guild | Mercury Lounge | 2.07.2009
The word "twee" gets thrown around a lot when talking about The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. They are cute, with tendencies towards la-la choruses and cardigans ("we have three extras just in case"). But what you don’t hear a lot, at least not yet, is how much they rock. Not the way, say, Cheeseburger rocks, but singer Kip keeps his guitar in buzzsaw mode and the...
