I'd hate to see this bitch when she's PMS-ing!

Tongue Ride

With a sound so big, so muscular and so gritty, you think Paper Tongues have got to be from one of the mega-American cities, right? New York or L.A. probably, or maybe the streets of Chicago or Atlanta? No, believe it or not this seven-piece band actually hails from Charlotte, NC! Lead singer Aswan North owns a commanding, soulful voice that is equal parts Cee-Lo and Chris Cornell, and the rest of the band is equally as powerful. They mesh rock'n'roll and hip-hop together so uniquely and sublimely, and with such commercial promise, it's as if Rage Against The Machine is jamming with the Black-Eyed Peas. Hard-hitting and heartfelt, their music is as in your face as it soon will be in the charts. Currently signed to A&M/Octone, their first album is expected soon. Here's the band's debut single, "Ride To California."

Not Too Soon Anymore

You know how people use that phrase all the time lately, "Is it too soon?" when referring to someone making a comment about a sore subject, usually poking fun at the recently deceased? Well it's official, the acceptable time frame is obviously 4-5 months, also known as the time it takes for a movie to go from theatrical release to dvd release. Most likely you heard about last summer's Michael Jackson-related scene that was very quickly removed from Sacha Baron Cohen's brilliantly offensive film Bruno just days before it's premiere. When the King of Pop suddenly, and in hindsight, not as unexpectedly as it seemed at the time, left this mortal coil? Well, the dvd is about to come out and now it's okay, you see? Although the scene is a little bit amusing, it's deletion from the theatrical release obviously wasn't a major detraction from the hilarity that surrounded it in the film. Still, it warrants a quick view, and now we can laugh safely, so here it is...

Dick Towel!

Buy one for your kids this Christmas!!

Got The Diamonds!

The UK's Get Shakes are an electro rock duo made up of brothers Darren and Matt Farrow. They've done some admirable remixes for the likes of Kasabian, Datarock and MSTRKRFT, and their own track "Sister Self-Doubt" became a staple on the European Festival Circuit a couple summers ago. They've been hard at work on their debut album, which is slated for release sometime in early 2010. In the meantime, they've released a double-A-sided single pairing up new tunes "Love/Hate" and "She Found The Diamonds" to whet our appetite, and it's working quite well for us here at TQ HQ. Fans of LCD Soundsystem and Bloc Party will dig the irresistable "She Found The Diamonds," and we're excited to share it with you here.

Dramatic Grammar

After releasing a couple of EP's, a few singles and a fantastic self-titled first album, British indie band Grammatics have created a well-earned buzz. Frontman Owen Brinley has a considerably diverse arsenal of guitar chops and sings like the love-child of Freddie Mercury and Thom Yorke. Yeah, I know, it's okay to take a minute to digest that one... The band, for it's part, comes off somewhere between Muse and Bloc Party, although slices of Nirvana-esque rawness and Weezer-esque pop sensibility are also apparent. Their latest release is a non-album single entitled "Double Negative" and it's an arresting piece of intelligent, complicated pop.

Blood Sugar Pop Magick

New York indie band The Bloodsugars play sweet sugary music that is equal parts synth-pop and guitar-jangle. The four-piece released an Ep in 2008, and have just released their first full-length, I Can't Go On, I'll Go On, through NY indie label Engine Room Recordings. The album was produced by Bill Moriarty, who most recently gained some hipster indie-cred for his work with Philly's Dr. Dog. First single "Light At the End of the Tunnel" recalls the 60's pop of The Turtles and the Lovin' Spoonful, filters it through early Elvis Costello and winds up somewhere between the current sounds of Hellogoodbye and Spoon.

Mother Fuzz

Pacific Dust is the title of the new release from California's The Mother Hips. The San Francisco-based Hips, a band that you've most likely never heard of, have actually been playing together and building up a constantly growing audience for almost 20 years now. They've been through the major-label machine, having been signed to Rick Rubin's American Recordings for a time in the mid-1990's, then spit back out to the indies by the end of the decade. After a short hiatus in the early 2000's, they reconvened and got back to the work at hand in 2004. Their music is an earthy kind of Americana, with catchy songs a la Augustana, the alt-country spirit of the Drive-By Truckers, and the jammy musicianship of Wilco. Here's "White Falcon Fuzz," the opening track from the new album.
