Video Friday

Video Friday! Featuring SolarSolar, American Royalty, and Equateur!

by Reid Horton on February 10, 2012

It's time for Video Friday, and this week, we are going INTERNATIONAL!

Well, in a sense...

First up, a mildly-haunting video from recent Binary signee's, SolarSolar!. Hailing from the great nation of Canada, these guy/girl duo are crafting sweet synth pop with a touch of new-wave dance. I think Binary is a perfect label for them and they should do quite nicely. Here's to Waterloo!

SolarSolar - Walking Like Children

 

 

Next, we fly back down to Los Angeles, for this slightly different kind of video from American Royalty. Directed by Jeff Scher, this interpretive form of moving colors and drawings really fit the song, with its plucking piano notes that drop into a fuzzed out synth and a bombastic chorus.  The new EP from AR (Matchstick, coming out Feb 14th) is full of their angular blend of pop music, with vocals that bear an undeniable comparison to Ryan Adams, (which is definitely a good thing) and power-pop leanings that drive their sound home.  Enjoy.

American Royalty - Matchstick

 

 

And finally, we scoot on out to France, for the new video from Equateur! It's a nod to 80's synth sounds and a slight mix of Anoorak-style drum patterns. It's really good, and hopefully we can see more from them soon!

Equateur - Haunted

 

Until Next Time,
Reid.

Video Fridays! Featuring Cheap Girls, The Cast of Cheers, and a Special January Playlist!

by Reid Horton on February 3, 2012

Hey Friends!

Hopefully you had a chance to check out Straight Jam Thursday, it was a good one!

First, since January has recently closed it's doors, I felt like it would be a great time to make a playlist!  It's 19 tracks of goodness, and has some really amazing songs from people like Tensnake, Flight Facilities, Moullinex, and more!

This week, a "block of rock", if you will!

First up, the new video/single/slice-of-awesome from one of my favorite bands, Cheap Girls!   Their previous album, My Roaring 20's, was a classic slice of Mid-West power-pop-punk-rock.   If you like guitar-driven, melodic power-rock, this is your band.   Their new album , Giant Orange, is set to come out February 21st.

The first single is "Ruby", and damn-it, its GREAT!

 

Cheap Girls - Ruby

 

 

Next, we have a really cool video from an up and coming band from Dublin, The Cast of Cheers!  To me, they kind of sound like Dananananaykroyd mixed with Two Door Cinema Club DJ'ing a Arctic Monkey's show.

And well, obviously, that is an fantastic thing.

The Cast of Cheers - Family

 

 

Until next time,
Reid.
