Minneapolis band, Howler, are Jordan Gatesmith (vocals / guitar), Ian Nygaard (guitar), France Camp (bass), Max Petrek (keyboard) and Brent Mayes (drums). Currently in the studio working on their full-length they'll be supporting The Vaccines' UK tour later this year.
Today their debut EP, This One's Different, was released on Rough Trade Records.
From the EP comes this song "I Told You Once" with the kind of power and verve you'd expect from a Minneapolis band. I love the driving acoustic guitar rhythm.
Visit their band site for tour dates beginning in September.

Kicking off with two Scottish dates, the autumn tour includes a show at London’s Heaven and coincides with the release of the second single from their critically acclaimed album Mirror Mirror produced by fellow Glaswegian JD Twitch. "Red Rose" will be released on October 17th.
Mirror Mirror marks a return to the band’s earlier works, abandoning elements of their signature "full on punk rock guitar” and introducing a more electronic feel. The quartet’s fourth album Mirror Mirror received 4 star reviews across the music monthlies, describing the album as “A punk-blues thriller” and “a brilliantly bloodthirsty record”.
Tickets for the forthcoming dates are on sale now and available from the following outlets:
Youth Lagoon is Trevor Powers, a kid I hadn't listened to until this morning. Instant impression is one of... uh, annoyance. The echoing up out of a well vocals, the whine that follows when he climbs into falsetto. Not liking this much.
You decide yourself:
"July" from The Year of Hibernation, Youth Lagoon's debut album, out September 27 in North America (Fat Possum) and Europe ( Lefse).
It's been 364 days since Arcade Fire's Grammy winning effort, The Suburbs, arrived on the shelves of stores. It's been a groundbreaking year for the band and for it's stellar label, Merge Records. To celebrate, a special edition of the album arrives tomorrow with new, unreleased tracks "Culture War", "Speaking in Tongues" w/David Byrne, and an extended version of “Wasted Hours.”
More here and more streaming of the entire record here.
Here, courtesy of NPR, is Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) performing with guest Peter Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom) at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, N.Y. It's only three songs, not sure why, maybe Panda Bear could answer that.
