Video: Bowerbirds “Tuck the Darkness In”
North Carolina’s Bowerbirds released their third LP The Clearing yesterday. The band is inked to Bloomington’s Dead Oceans record label. The group dropped a video for their single “Tuck the Darkness In”, which can be found below. The album is Bowebirds’ most ambitious to date, with the band reaching for a richer, more resonant sound than their previous two efforts. Dead Oceans appears to have put their full weight behind this release, and the proof is in the pudding. Grab your copy of The Clearing HERE.

Fresh Track: Free Energy “Electric Fever”
Philadelphia rockers Free Energy burst onto the scene in a big way with their 2010 debut LP Stuck on Nothing. Offering a fresh take on jukebox rock of yesteryear, the best way to describe their sound is “windows down, volume up.” With the return of spring at most of our doorsteps over the past few days, the band fittingly dropped the first single from their second LP entitled “Electric Fever” yesterday. And best of all – the cowbell that highlighted so many of the tracks on the first album is back for more! Love Sign doesn’t have a release date yet, so keep your eyes open for an announcement in the near future. For now, enjoy the first single.

Video: Cloud Nothings “Our Plans”
Cloud Nothings continues to rise as we begin to close the door on the first quarter of this year. The band released their third album, Attack on Memory early this year and it continues to hold a prominent space on the blogosphere. Hard and fast are words that come to mind when describing the album. Lead singer, Dylan Baldi’s rugged style is compelling for any fan of lo-fi rock. It is this suck you in and spit you out sound that makes Cloud Nothings relevant in the space. The band is currently taking on an extensive tour with Midwest landing stops at the MOTR Pub in Cincy and Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. After seeing them do a test run in New York City late last year these are shows that you will not want to miss. Not sold? Watch them perform “Our Plans” in Sirius XM’s studios.
