I hope you’re all nicely tucked up indoors and not braving the mild hurricane that seems to be going on outside (if you’re in the UK, at least). To accompany you with your lovely chilled out afternoon / evening, here’s a lovely chilled out piece of acoustic goodness from Indiana’s Grey Gordon.
‘500 Miles’ is taken from the vegan, straightedge singer’s ‘Still At Home Here’ EP, which was released in May last year.

Let’s have a bit of mid-week indie, shall we? Psychedelic shoe-gazers Temples have just released their sci-fi themed video for ‘Mesmerise’, a tune that you’re sure to be humming for at least the next week or so.
Have a look here:

Just in case you missed it, Surrey rockers Canterbury have just released their third album, ‘Dark Days’, securing the number 1 rock album slot in the official charts last week. Its great news for a band that have really worked hard to build their fanbase and develop their music style over the past nine years.
Having seen them more than a few times back in my old local scene, it makes me proud that they’re doing so well now!
Give them a bit of support by checking out their new video for ‘Think It Over’..

Well it seems this week has been a big one for rocking new tunes! Brighton’s metalcore heroes Architects have released the music video for their new single ‘Naysayer’, a ferocious hard-rock piece from their new album ‘Lost Forever // Lost Together’, which is due out on March 10.

Well we’re over hump day (that’s what they call Wednesday now, right?). I think its time for a bit of comedy to get us through the last stretch of the working week.
For those of you who work weekends, I apologise. In any case, watching Southampton prog-rockers Circle Of Reason challenge OAPs to a war of table tennis should definitely ease the pain..

Its hard to think of rap-rock without immediately picturing Linkin Park (its not just me, right?). If that is the case, Ohio duo Twenty One Pilots will certainly prove you wrong.
Blending catchy electro-beats, insightful lyrics and a handful of piano-led melodies, these two cleverly avoid any obvious categorisation. The group, made up of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have just released their third album, ‘Vessel’, which embraces a darker side to their sound, mixing in heavier drum and bass beats with sharp edged vocals. Its not all angst though, there’s more than a few upbeat tunes, ending with the beautifully soft ‘Truce’.

Well its a Saturday night and I’m sure you’re off out somewhere exciting, (if not, good on you for being so healthy / broke..). Whatever you’re up to, here’s a bit of happy-go-lucky punk-rock in the shape of Chicago’s own Lawrence Arms. For added credit, try playing ‘spot the reference’ in their latest video, ‘Seventeener’:

We’re past the middle of the week, so let’s celebrate with a bit of country rock’n’roll, shall we?
Augustines are from Brooklyn, but sonically they’re more of an upbeat Gaslight Anthem. Well, a little bit more upbeat anyway. ‘Nothing to lose but your head’ is their new single, from their self-titled album which is due out on February 4.
Why not take a breather and have a listen to this..?

Well I’ve been a busy, busy person this week with too many gigs / Christmas parties! Luckily, though, I haven’t been so busy that I’ve missed the awesome new video from A Day To Remember, ‘Right Back At It Again’. Its fun, upbeat and incredibly catchy. I suggest you check it out, right now..

If you can’t wait for the new album from California hard-rockers Of Mice And Men, ‘Restoring Force’, you can hear a sneaky preview of their new single ‘You’re Not Alone’ right here (if you don’t mind watching a whole lot of ads about the album, that is).
Go on, its totally worth it..
The new album, ‘Restoring Force’ is out January 28, 2014.
