Math The Band kick out the feel good jamz of the Summer of 2009!

Math The Band kick out the feel good jamz of the Summer of 2009!

New single “Why Didn’t You Get A Haircut” available now. New album Don’t Worry out next month.

Nationwide tour kicks off this weekend!


“If they continue to emit this abundance of noise and raw energy, they’ll doom themselves to a career plagued with reviews describing them as ‘hyper-kinetic,’ ‘frenetic,’ ‘manic,’ and other words that end with the letter ‘c.’ Unless they undergo an ill-advised radical change in direction, their velocious electroklash will keep getting likened to ‘what Rainbow Brite and her friends would sound like if they developed a meth habit and started a band.” – The Boston Phoenix

Check out the feel good jam of the Summer, “Why Didn’t You Get A HaircutHERE, and head over to XLR8R to see what the kids are saying about it.

Math The Band is boyfriend/girlfriend duo Kevin Steinhauser and Justine Mainville, a pair that carries themselves with a reckless abandon that has scored them a total of seven broken bones and nine staples to the forehead during their short career. The band’s performances are actually so high intensity that guitarist/vocalist Kevin has been known to lose his lunch offstage and on.

These wild antics are not just the result of giving back the intense love of the fans that attend Math The Band shows (to the tune of over half a million MySpace spins), but also an homage to the awesome commitment of the heroes that Math The Band has shared numerous stages with such as: Andrew WK, Matt and Kim, Adam Goren of Atom and His Package, Polysics, and Japanther.

Diehard fans often drive from up to six hours away to see Math The Band play anywhere from large concert halls, to high school cafeterias, to sweaty, packed basements. Deriving their sonic mantra from the childhood naivety that beckons in Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” Math The Band’s sound can be best described as a hard and furious mixture of screeching 8-bit sequenced keyboard lines, driving Casio drums and throat-shedding yelping amid a super high energy laced melodicism unmatched by any musical pair you have ever heard before.

Everything in your life so far adds up to Math The Band. See them on tour this summer!

Jeniferever’s video for “Green Meadow Island” will haunt you; New single “Lives Apart” will break your damn heart.

Jeniferever’s new album Spring Tides is out now on Monotreme Records. “Four Stars.” – Uncut (UK)

“With a sound that gels ambient indie rock, shoegazer, and post-rock, lyrics about nostalgia, loss and hope and an undeniably epic quality, this quintet really is something special.” – Big Cheese (UK)

Jeniferever is straight out of Upsala, Sweden with a double whammy for your weekend. The band’s NMESingle of The Week” called “Green Meadow Island,” (MP3) now has an accompanying VIDEO and it’s even more fantastic than the song. Watch “Green Meadow Island” in Hi-Def right HERE. See office workers run for their lives while Jeniferever performs the tune in a forest, in a confetti rainstorm and inside your mind!

Doing themselves one better, Jeniferever has now made the latest single from Spring Tides available for promo. “Lives Apart” (MP3) will eat away at that pumping muscle inside your chest. If you’ve ever experienced heartbreak, get ready to be reminded of it. The Cure recently took Jeniferever label mates 65daysofstatic on tour. Once Robert hears this song, Jeniferever will be next.

The new Jeniferever album Spring Tides is on your desk and/or in your inbox now. Don’t have it? Just ask. Once you hear it, you’ll find that Spring Tides is as heartfelt and beautiful an album as you are likely to hear all year. It’s also pleasant to say the band’s name. Say it. Jeniferever. See?

Jason Death Cab’s Two Sticks studio turns out one of the best pop records of the year. Ladies and gentlemen – this is Alligators.

Recalls Radiohead, The Beach Boys and The Zombies. Warning: these songs to be in your head from now until forever.

When you think about Kitsap County, Washington and “the other side of Puget sound” (and you MUST think about that a lot!), not much comes to mind but small towns and the naval shipyard. But now, you’ll think of Alligators. This Northwest-based band has recently taken its locally released album Piggy & Cups national, and thank goodness for that. The record is one song after another of expertly played and performed pop songs, written with class and sensitivity.

Check out the ever-awesome tune “Where Does It Hide?” HERE and the “unofficial” video HERE. Fall in further love with Alligators via THIS brief documentary and see below for more MP3s.

Frankly, Piggy & Cups is one of the best pop records to be released this year. It was recorded at Jason McGerr’s (Death Cab For Cutie) Two Sticks Audio in Seattle and in the comfort of Alligators’ own home. And now it can reside in the comfort of yours. Calling themselves Alligators, these five charming gentlemen have already hit it big with their name. Like the animals, these Alligators are large reptiles that have a peculiar mystique surrounding their existence.

Truth be told, Alligators didn’t just stumble upon such fine song craft. All the members, hailing from the greater Bremerton area of Washington state, have had long careers in the local music scene and all played in some of the area’s most widely known and accomplished bands like Rocketstar Recordings band Time To Fly, Map of June, and Arper. Talent is not in question; most of these guys have been professionally trained in music and they all convey their knowledge of songwriting in each piece they compose. With the apathetic and bland music that plagues radio stations and music venues today, it’s only a matter of time before Alligators’ brand of thought-out and innovative music breaks free to reach listeners everywhere.

Alligators take influence from many of the greats and hints of Radiohead, The Beach Boys, and The Zombies can be heard in their songs. While they don’t stick with one narrow style of music, their sound can be described as very creative, high-energy, precise pop laced with beautiful harmonies and clever arrangements. Each element of the band is interesting; from the tight pulses that the bass and drums provide, to the guitar-synthesizer relationship during the always-stylish vocal melodies. Simply put – it’s hard to deny just how wonderful this band really is.

Get hip to Alligators now and if you are on the west coast, look our for the band on tour this summer!
