Songs of the Day: The Paper Kites, Phoenix, Jhameel.

The Paper Kites-St. Clarity



New music video for The Paper Kites' St. Clarity. Their one of my favorite bands currently.


Phoenix-Trying To Be Cool



Phoenix always sound like themselves. Like if you hear a Phoenix song, most people would be like, "Yeah, that's a Phoenix song."


Jhameel-Where I'll Go



Can Jhameel call it a leaked song, if he was the one that leaked it?!

Songs of the Day: The Hush Sound, Stamps, We Were Evergreen.

The Hush Sound-Not a Stranger



Speaking of The Hush Sound, did you know they got back together?! I'm excited about the reunion.


Stamps-If It Were Up To Me



I don't know if Bob Morris(The Hush Sound) is still in this band. Their newer stuff sound more pop, which I don't think Bob would be a part of that. Which would further explain why I never see him in the new videos. Anyway, this is the older stuff/better stuff.


We Were Evergreen-Leeway

Songs of the Day: Everything Everything, Sol, Gold Motel.

Everything Everything-Don't Try



This song makes me happy. "Don't Try" is from Everything Everything's new album, "Arc".


Sol-Dope



I'm excited Sol is coming back to the states. Hip-hop needs him.


Gold Motel-Brand New Kind of Blue



Greta just makes good music with any band. But I'm really glad she's going back to The Hush Sound.

Artist Focus: The Royal Concept

The Royal Concept might possibly be the best find of the year. If you like bands like The Strokes or Phoenix, then you probably would like them. I didn't feel like writing a bio, so I just grabbed the one from allmusic.com.

"Previously known as the Concept Store and the Concept, Stockholm's Royal Concept features vocalist/guitarist David Larson, guitarist Filip Bekic, bassist Magnus Robert, and drummer Frans Povel. The group debuted in 2010 with the single "Damn!," which introduced their Phoenix-like mix of sunny pop and electronic elements. The following year, the tracks "D-D-Dance" and "Gimme Twice" earned them more fans. Early in 2012, the band -- which settled on the Royal Concept moniker that April -- signed to Lava Records, which released the group's self-titled debut EP that June." -allmusic.com
