Expectations be damned. The Clips could care less what anybody thinks a rock band should sound like these days. Hell, it’s 2008, and computers are taking over the world, so why not the dancefloor too, right? Armed with a modified-to-hell G3, a baby grand, and a whole slew of synths, Edo Van Breemen and his cohorts in The Clips (not be confused with the smiliarly-named, dope-pushing Virginian duo of Pusha and Malice, although we’d pee our pants for a collabo) create a world of noisey squelches, strangled 1s and 0s, and clattering drums bolstered by an insistent piano lurch, a few guitars, and Breemen’s melancholic voice. Having shared stages with Holy Fuck and Metric, and with a brand new record, Matterhorn, clutched firmly to their bosoms, the quintet seems primed for their unlikely close-up. Just peep the sullen, deceivingly-dense “Wire” for proof.
MP3: “Wire”
“The Clips aren’t just another band— their EP is nothing short of remarkable.” - The Martlet
“The Clips play a brand of indie pop that combines all the scatter-shot elements into a single package that gets dancey and funky, poppy and melodic, and rocks out with intensity and style.” - Quick Before It Melts
“The Clips’ ambitious approach to indie-pop is as fun as it is creative, with a three-keyboard attack that recalls the streamlined pop hooks of Spoon, the unpretentious dancefloor grooves of Hot Chip, and the icy electronic soul of Radiohead’s more emotive output.” - Color Magazine

After touring and writing for 4 years straight, Earshot is ready to make some noise again. Their first single is called “Missunderstood” and has already reached close to a million in audience at radio due to the amount of requests. Check it out below and keep an ear out for The Silver Lining which hits online and record stores on August 26th.
New York City’s much buzzed about songstress L.P. has just released the first single “Good With You” off of her soon to be named and highly anticipated record set to hit in early 2009 via SoBe Entertainment. L.P. was featured as Clear Channel’s Artist to Watch for their NEW! program in June and the single is quickly gaining traction in the AAA format.
“Good With You” / ”Cling To Me” video streams:
Armed with a voice that weaves seamlessly between being fierce and vulnerable, L.P. can captivate an audience with a single note, and turn a crowd of strangers into rabid fans with just one song. Nothing iterates this point better than the story of SXSW 2006 where her live performance inspired a label bidding war. This ultimately led to her being signed by LA Reid himself to Island Records. While L.P. says it’s “nice” that she inspired the competition, the singer ultimately walked away from the deal with her songs in hand, the material that will be included on her forthcoming album on SoBe Entertainment.
L.P. has invited comparisons to Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Gwen Stefani and Chrissie Hynde and has worked with go-to rocker Linda Perry who is a self confessed fan. The Washington Post call’s L.P. “. . . a punky rocker with the pipes of a belter,” while Entertainment Weekly exclaims “NYC moptop songwriter L.P. has toured the country and back, but nothing much spins her wheels off their axles” and Cincinnati City Beat offers up this piece of advice, “Tell a friend: L.P. is going to be huge.”

The song is called “Falling Down” and will be remixed by The Chemical Brothers. In the meantime here is the album version which is pretty badass in itself. Noel is at the mic and its nice to hear him singing on a more rocking tune that ususal. All to say, this song bodes very well for the new album. Check it out:
