You might remember Vivek Shraya from a post on this very blog a long time ago. Well, our favorite Canadian indie/electro upstart is back with his sophomore album “Keys and Machines” and it’s set for a release this November! So hold onto your hat and enjoy this funky preview track “In Out” featuring Meghan Toohey.

As if they ever left, Horse Shoes the prodigious band out of Brooklyn is set to release their Imperial School EP very soon, and the EP is a twinkling nastolgia dance party. The band (Composed of Drew Diver and Jacob Graham) lets all of their influences show featuring some songs that emulate the Smiths self deprecating intelligence and others emulate New Orders restless longing. Throw in a bit of twangy surf guitar and some gentle vocals and you’ve got the overall flavor of Horse Shoes new EP. Surely a delieght for the ears.

Portland Oregon’s Hockey hits with the grooves of the Rapture, the raw edge and nuance of the White Stripes wrapped in a Prince funk wrapper. If you’re looking for some irresistible dance rock, look no further.
