Courrier – Cathedrals of Color
Courrier have a fantastic sound that is full of positivity and energy. It’s the kind of optimistic pop music that can power a listener through a rough day. More importantly, it’s music that I can’t wait to play this summer as loud as …
The National – The Rains of Castamere
If you’re anything like me, which you probably aren’t, you’ve spent the last few weeks rewatching Game of Thrones in anticipation of the third season starting in 2 weeks. If you’re not watching Game of Thrones, shame on you. Stop pretending you are …

The Lumineers – “Stubborn Love”
The Lumineers, in all their Grammy-nominated glory, have surpassed the “up-and-coming” label we’ve given our site. But when we first heard their self-titled debut, we knew they’d be the kind of band that put some new life into the music scene. Here’s a …
