Deerhunter - Strange Lights

---------------Sorry, all. I was out and about visiting my dearest friend in Boston this weekend and narry a time at the computer could be spent!

The ambient rock walk-through-the-sunshine sound of Deerhunter is like warm weather - we're all ready for it and it couldn't fill up the atmosphere soon enough. Thankfully, we can pretend its a glorious, barefoot warm day in the park with "Strange Lights," a song about taking a stroll with someone you care about. Basic and simple, like the perfect white T. Can't wait to see them in Atlanta with Spoon in March. Get "Strange Lights" from the 2007 album, Cryptograms.

A Path Less Traveled - An Eye For An Eye Makes Us All Pirates

-----------------My usual formula for finding music on Myspace is accepting a friend request and hearing out the material with no other frame of reference. But for this Song of the Day, I was lucky enough to hear about the popcore stylings of APLT from the band's photographer and brilliant friend, Eric Kirk. The seven members of A Path Less Traveled hail from the Atlanta area, and will celebrate the release of their new EP From Here On Out this Friday with A Heartcake, She Came From Above, Show the Fight, and A Fight For Life.

So what separates APLT from all the other hardcore bands in the southeast? "An Eye For An Eye Makes Us All Pirates" is one of the most popular demos on Epitaph Record's demo forum "Demo-Lition." The teaser tracks to the new EP are effortlessly good with heated vocals and the members exhaust every fiber of their instruments to give an outstanding show. Get "An Eye For An Eye" from APLT's upcoming release From Here On Out.

Of Machines - It Must Belong Somewhere

---------------Up until last month, there hasn't been a steady flow of drop-kick fantastic hardcore that I've been dying to gush over. But thanks to the guidance and wisdom of some amazing friends who know the genre like the days of the week, I've been blessed with armloads of artists such as Lydia, Miss May I, Emarosa, and Of Machines. I've selected "It Must Belong Somewhere" because it was the first Of Machines song I was introduced to, and the vocals absolutely blew my mind. "It Must Belong Somewhere" begs for a flame to never extinguish and grasping on to what we (whoever that "we" may be) has for the time, Get the song from Of Machines album, As If Everything Was Held in Place.
