 Fierce Creatures emerged from the scorching Fresno, CA summer of 2009. Abandoning past musical undertakings that never quite seemed to fit, the band came together to build an identity free of limitations – an identity focused on the joy of undiluted music. Guitars and keys drive their tunes, while mandolin, harmonica, and bells accentuate them with chanting choruses and a miscellany of percussion. The product: cultivated art-pop that can only be called Fierce Creatures. Dig the clips and tunes below, and if you’re into it you can snag the debut EP I Mostri Feroci here. Fierce Creatures is: Continue reading Band To Watch: Fierce Creatures…
 Fareed and Connor are Headless Horseman, and you should give a shit about that because Headless Horsemen makes some good tunes. Truth be told, I don’t know shit about electronic music. I’m not gonna lie. I mean, the mash-up remixy what sample is this kinda electro is not something on which I profess to be the oracle. But I do know when shit sounds good, and if after you listen to the track Wavlngth you can say you aren’t into it then you probably shouldn’t be reading this blog like, ever, cause this sound kinda embodies exactly what Continue reading Band To Watch: HDLSS HRSMN…
 If you know Curtis Jenkins, you should know he LOVES baile funk. Baile Funk, also called funk carioca, is a Brazilian dance music that originated in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and is heavily influenced by 1980s Miami Bass music (like 2 Live Crew!) This is some serious party music, where thousands of young people gather together every weekend to shake their asses. Here’s a clip from Diplo’s documentary Favela On Blast, a GREAT introduction to Rio’s baile funk counter-culture. Check the links that follow for more clips: Baile Funk dos Prazeres_(Favela on Blast) from Leandro HBL Continue reading Curtis Jenkins Loves Baile Funk!…
 One of the weapon’s most favoritist picks, Mouth’s Cradle is at it again………dig the track ‘Solar Bear’ (below) and the super-cool video for their song ‘Demon’. If you haven’t already done so, get yourself over to iTunes to download their album The Next Big Thing and when you decide you love ‘it just remember we told you so!
Continue reading Mouth’s Cradle – Solar Bear (MP3) and Demon (Video)…
 SoKo (born Stéphanie Sokolinski) is a French singer and actress, best known for the track ‘I’ll Kill Her’. In 2007, SoKo achieved a hit single in Denmark with the song after The Black Boy Scouts began to promote it. The song reached number one on Danish radio charts as well as in the Danish iTunes Store. In Australia it placed number nine in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2007 music poll. The Danish and the Aussies must have WAY better taste in music than we do, because in 2007 the top song out the US iTunes chart Continue reading SoKo – Go Ahead and Fuck Yourself (It’s Fine If You Don’t Love Me)…
 I’m not really a fan of most hip-hop or urban soul. There, I said it. And it’s not really cause I don’t like it as much as it’s the sheer fact that a lot of it just isn’t very interesting. It sounds the same, or it’s too self-assuming, or it just doesn’t strike me, which is why I really dig this chick’s sound. CILLA K. is a vocalist, beat maker and songwriter based in New York, and she’s a fucking good one. The only thing that my [extremely limited] knowledge of this style of music brings to mind Continue reading CILLA K.’s Debut Release is HOT…
 So I live in this house that happens to be a pretty hot spot for shows if you live in Macomb, IL (which you probably don’t), and last weekend we had a hip-hop show. Towards the end of the show one of the acts, Vertual Vertigo, announced their participation in what I like to call a new hip-hop “supergroup”. 500 LB GUERILLA is made up of (in my opinion) a few of Chicago’s best real hip-hop artists – Phillip Morris, Awdazcate, Elevation, and Vertual Vertigo. I’ve known the guys from Vertual Vertigo for a hot minute so I Continue reading WOWZERS: 500 LB GUERRILLA – PART 1…
 So if you’ve been following the weapon for longer than 6 months then you probably know how stoked I get when someone sends me REALLY GOOD music. And you’ve also probably noticed that I lag like a bitch when it comes to posting sometimes. So I dono how long this stuff was sitting in my inbox but I’m pretty glad that I took the time to listen to it cause these tunes are pretty rockin. Enter two young dudes from Syracuse University who make an original blend of hip-hop, pop and electronica mixed with 50′s doo-woppy sounding rock Continue reading Band To Watch: Mouth’s Cradle…
 I’m a huge LCD Soundsystem fan, personally — I think James Murphy makes some of the most urgent, emotionally moving music out there (and the dude can certainly produce a record, too). That said, here’s the fucking crazy music video for the excellent new single “Drunk Girls.” If you haven’t heard it yet, grab the track below; I’m not entirely sure why it hasn’t gotten as much love as it should. It basically sounds like a different version “Watch the Tapes” but with less of a bass groove and more hilarious lyrics. (Note: Watching this video won’t help you Continue reading LCD Soundsystem’s New Video is Sufficiently Weird, Awesome…
 A band name like Sugar & Gold may conjure up some sort of image of party-rockers, prone to disco freakouts and fun times. In the case of this particular band, that mental visage certainly holds true. See that picture up there? Yeah, that’s the kind of music you’re in for, and I’ll be damned if it’s not catchy. These guys seemingly came out of nowhere, but their debut full-length Get Wet! suggests a band that’s been at this for quite some time now. A fully realized mishmash of electro-funk, disco backbeats, and indie pop, it’s both instantly accessible Continue reading Sugar & Gold: Get on Yr Danse-ing Shoes…
