Tim Myers debut album! Chock full of bright, feel good,
perfect-for-summertime tunes, as well as reflective and melodic
songs harkening The Beatles and Bob Dylan. A tried and true young,
talented and prolific Zync favorite!
His staggeringly beautiful blend of folk, chamber pop,
whistling, harmonies and insanely heady lyrics will leave you
dazzled once again on this, his 9th LP! Enjoy the greatness.
“Over a nearly 20-year career, Chicago singer/songwriter/violinist,
Andrew Bird,has built a rep as one of indie rock’s
most beguiling light touches -a dude who makes Jeff Tweedy
look like a Nordic death-metal pyro.” -Rolling Stone Magazine
After MUCH international buzz in 2011 and taking home the Norwegian Grammy Award
for Best Pop Group, Team Me’s debut LP is sure to please the rest of the world.
File this album next to Freelance Whales, Arcade Fire and Passion Pit. Chocked full of
epic tracks back to back and big/full production, this joyful prog-pop
demands emotions while tapping feet. They were also voted #5 by NME for the top ten bands at SXSW 2012!
Get ready for Shredfest 2012 up in your ears! Their 2nd release on Mom + Pop Music is a bittersweet spoonful of thrash medicine with more breezy vocals. Whether you were a rebellious teenager or the quiet one, this album will make you feel like a badass hero.

–Pitchfork

The AMAZING new Asteroids Galaxy Tour
album is Here!!
Full of retro pop hooks, irresistible brass, confetti and shiny sex appeal, Out Of Frequency exudes celebration. Put these gems on repeat: Heart Attack, Major and Fantasy Friend Forever.
Jesse Nolan, songwriter and producer behind this LA Buzz band, blows the dust off the legendary Stax sound and infuses it with his own modern blend of beats, horns and sophisticatedly soulful vocals. Think Black Keys meets Beck.

Black Lips have swaggered back on the scene with a Mark Ronson produced album full of gritty, sexy psych-rock that screams INSTANT CLASSIC. Think 60s garage pioneers The Seeds and Iggy – ballsy, groovy and bad ass!
Black Lips seem more eager to play ball this time around. And unlike previous cautionary examples of garage-rock bands teaming up with Top 40 hitmakers (the Hives and Pharrell, the Mooney Suzuki and the Matrix), Ronson thankfully doesn’t try to make Black Lips into...
