Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

Sorority Noise are solidly east coasters hailing from good old Hartford, Connecticut. And obviously good old Hartford is a pretty good place to stare up an indie rock band. This winsome foursome dedecks their It Kindly Stopped For Me EP with introspective and thoughtful odes to the sour side of living. But it isn’t a bad thing, is it? The rawness and vulnerability of the songs reveal giving fragile hearts and a lovelorn of intimate proportions. Losing someone sucks eggs, but this collection of songs are a bit of catharsis, reached for and obtained, amid a sometimes life of shit. Peace. Continue reading “sorority noise | either way”
Philadelphia indie garage rockers Hop Along gives us a beyond ample excuse to revisit 2012. It was a quaint little album titled Get Disowned and an even obscurer foursome bearing the appellation Hop Along. Seems unassuming enough, except not. Now all would have been well and fine, and the band may well have enjoyed the small unknown existence some bands woefully aspire to be. You know the whole suffering for one’s art thing. Masochistic yes, but it’s a thing. But there was one damn problem, a foible in the plan christened Frances Quinlan. Damn her. If only she’d kept her lovely soundtracked mouth shut and her seductively warped vocals to her damn self we would have all been better off. But alas she didn’t and we’re not. We’re not because I for one can’t get enough of her rustic rock delivery, which make her beautiful pained lyrics all the more so. And, if we’re honest with ourselves it was very specifically the track Tibetan Pop Stars. It was this song, with it’s acrimonious lyrics and paranormal voiced passion. It undone us. You fuckers. I fell in love with an off kilter and highly sentimental ode to heartbreak and enmity. And so yes, Hop Along’s release Get Disowned is a no-brainer for an apt Throwback Thursday nod, and may I suggest you replay all damn day? Thanks Frances. Psst! I also included Hop Along’s wonderful follow up release, Painted Shut (2015).Peace.Continue reading “throwback thursday: hop along | tibetan pop stars”
San Diego-based post-punk purists or a just effing awesome rock band, the Crocodiles (Brandon Welchez & Charles Rowell) premiere their latest track Teardrops Guitar on NPR’s All Songs Considered. Hey, do they really “consider” all the damn songs? Sounds dubious to me, but whateva’. Anyway, the Crocodiles have also put together a teaser video for the band’s forthcoming release Crimes of Passion via Frenchkiss Records. The album drops August 20th, 2013. Peace. Continue reading “crocodiles // teardrops guitar + premiere on npr + teaser video”
the current cassette release ‘same thing tomorrow’ marks a broader introduction to the world at large for the chino, california-based singer/songwriter vex ruffin. the songs he creates are simple, but more than effective at not only capturing the golden era of alternative but moves the genre forward by both sounding and not sounding like bands and acts like new order, peter murphy. check out his song, “same thing tomorrow”. peace. Continue reading “vex ruffin // same thing tomorrow”
Today a link to the video, “What Makes A Good Man?” by The Heavy appeared in my in-box. I watched the video and I was intrigued by the story of the troubled man who was the central character in the cinematic short. Redemption is a powerful theme amongst our human populace and this video, more so than the song, was an excellent catalyst for it. This is my first brush with The Heavy, and now I am sufficiently curious to see, and hear, what else these guys have to offer. The Heavy’s forthcoming release The Glorious Dead is scheduled to drop in August. Peace. Continue reading “the heavy // what makes a good man?”
NME magazine dubbed Gossip “The greatest punk rock’n’roll disco soul band on the planet”and that description is 100% on the money. Listen to the trios first single release “Perfect World” and it’s accompanying dBerrie remix. The highly danceable track is taken from the band’s forthcoming Brian Higgins produced A Joyful Noise the bands 4th studio LP. You can expect a May 22nd release, and of course you can pre-order the digital format via iTunes. After the jump you can also enjoy the official video for “Perfect World” and the complete track listing for the new album. Peace. Continue reading “gossip // perfect world (dberrie remix)”
The Men are an incredible noise punk/alt rock band out of Brooklyn, NYC. The bands immaculate song “A Minor” is featured on the Record Store 2012 Sampler: Todo Muere Volume 2, the song kicks a whole lotta’ butt. So, if you like bit of raucous music be sure to check ’em out. Also, these guys will be playing at The Pyramid Scheme in good old Grand Rapids in June. Check out the band’s music and tour schedule after the jump. Peace. Continue reading “The Men // A Minor”
One of my favorite DYI bands Heartsrevolution have been creating dance inducing (Dance Till Dawn, Switchblade), and oft times politically charged (I.D. (Investigation Discovery) music for quite a while. Ben Pollock and Leyla ‘Lo’ Safai, and long time live performance drummer Terry ‘Prince Terrence’ Campbell, have teased their adoring fans with the promise of a full-length album for what seems like forever. And sorry, I don’t have news of a forthcoming release. However, I remain hopeful the highly anticipated debut Ride Or Die will materialize in 2012. Here’s to hope eternal. Peace.
