Mutemath - Allies

Mutemath are coming to Australia in May and I for one couldn't be happier!

Sure, they're album Odd Soul was one of the best kick-arse albums of 2011, and yes the lead single Blood Pressure had one of the best film clips. But it's the new film clip for Allies which has got me super-pumped for their live show.

Seriously, check out this mind altering live set! That light wall is amazing! Then there's the band and the crowd, it's damn near impossible to tell who's having the most fun.

Sure as hell looks like a live show worth checking out.

Bloods - All The Things You Say Are Wrong

If you don't know the Bloods yet, you sure as hell will soon!

They're a kick-arse surfer rock band from Sydney with two super hotties up the front and one rad dood on the skins.

They play music that makes you move and groove all with snarling girl 'tude.

Their single All The Things You Say Are Wrong will no doubt see them take over the world and the clip features two super-cute skater boys that really get the heart racing.

Check them out, play them, love them, tell ya friends about them, then remind ya friends how awesome you are for finding them first!

Led Zeppelin - D'yer Mak'er

Howdy folks, today I got chatting with a friend of mine who’s a huge 70’s/80’s rock tragic. We started talking about her favourite tunes and what she’s been listening to lately and the response came quick and fast.

The always lovely lady Ashlee Adams shot back, "Zeppelin, D’yer Mak'er". Ash stated it was her favourite song of all time, which is always a touch call to make when talking tunes but when questioned she couldn’t even pin point what it was about the song that made it her favourite.

 After a brief quizzing, Ash put it down to the fact that every time the song is played, no matter how she’s feeling, she’ll be happy by the time it finishes. Well that and the fact that she thinks that Bonham on the drums is just EPIC.

Seems like reasonable reasons to me!

The Doors - Riders On The Storm

I've been listening to a lot of The Doors lately thanks to the re-release of their amazing album L.A. Woman.

The double disc pack has all our favourites plus a never before heard song called She Smells So Nice, a great new tune, but what I really love is the second disc that has alternate versions of every song -  including banter between the members in between songs which gives you an amazing insight into what it was like to be sitting in the studio with the guys.

I love Riders On The Storm for Morrison's haunting voice, I think this could quite possibly be my favourite Doors song of all time.

Can't Keep - Eddie Vedder

Eddie Vedder, the ocean and a Uke - there's nothing more beautiful, awe inspiring and awesome.

Here Eddie does his solo cover version of Pearl Jam's Can't Keep off of the band's 2002 album Riot Act.

Simply awesome, love the power of those waves and the fast camera angles.

Portugal. The Man - All Your Light (Times Like These)

Portugal. The Man are quickly becoming on of my favourite new bands!

The album 'In The Mountain In The Cloud' that the band released in 2011 has been blowing my mind for the last few months and is a slice of modern psychedelic rock genius. The album art is pretty cool too and is made even more impressive due to the fact it's done entirely by front man John Gourley.

Every time I listen to it I get drawn in a more and more. It's seriously infectious and I'm struggling to have time for any other album of late.

Thankfully the group from Portland, Oregon are heading down to Australia for The Laneway Festival and a string of solo shows, which I'll be front and centre for.
