Your New Favorite Band: The Subjects
The Subjects
From: Brooklyn, NY
RIYL: Dr Dog, French Kicks, The Kinks
The Subjects - "Winter Vacation"
The Subjects aren't exactly a new band here in Brooklyn, but they're one that has never gotten a fair amount of attention. Lost somewhere beneath the success of their friends and peers White Rabbits and The Walkmen, The Subjects have been growing steadily over the years with their songwriting. Last year's New Soft Shoe EP was another leap for the band, and a hint at what's to come. The 60s-style melodies flourish over a tight rhythm section while harmonies enter in with perfect precision. If New York's scene loves the poppy songs of Vampire Weekend and White Rabbits, there's no reason The Subjects can't step up to a higher level with their next release.

New Music: Linfinity - “MSG”
Linfinity - "MSG"
On April 27th, Linfinity's debut record Martian's Bloom will finally see its release on American Myth Recordings. I've been lucky enough to have had the recordings on my ituns for months, and they're the real deal. "MSG" is the first single for the band who will surely see their fanbase grow after an upcoming tour with Murder By Death and Ha Ha Tonka.
