Menomena

Menomena is back and on their third album, Mines, they have found their most comfortable sound yet. The Portland, OR based band signed to Barsuk takes experimental indie pop to a new level with below track, "Wet & Rusting." The band recently did Fallon, PitchforkTV... and now with a b!POP plug, we're sure this band is finally going to take off.

On tour throughout the entire Fall, keep this band on your back to school radar.

Teen Daze

It's been over a month since we've posted something Teen Daze related so it's time we change that. Below, enjoy a cover of Japandroids "Wet Hair" as done by Teen Daze. The track has those traditional washed out lofi qualities that we've consistently heard in the last few tracks, but with a new addition of a electro beat to keep the song pumping. We love it.
