Hi friends! Today* is a special day: it’s the 30th birthday of a previously notable but now nearly defunct music icon! (I tried to find a shitty singer born on 11/12/1982 but there aren’t any (just pretend I made a good joke (just please love me))). Well I’ll tell you.
Indie hip-hop group WHY? drops a new album October 8. This Oakland outfit released an EP in early August, which I picked up on vinyl and highly recommend. Check out the video for “Sod in the Seed”, which Pitchfork describes as a “JV version of a Gap commercial.”
Meet all of your friend’s new favorite band, CULTS. Before even releasing a full album they were written up on Pitchfork (given a 9.something) and they played their first show over the weekend at Mercury Lounge where most of the major labels (and some indies) were represented. Hear more of their music HERE.
For those of you who actually know Jeff this explains so much!
