PREMIERE: AIR DRAWN DAGGER – “MY MURDER OF CROWS” (LUKE HARRIS REMIX)
Air Drawn Dagger’s recent release, “My Murder of Crows,” gives us a full blast of the trio’s electronic-infused, emo-steeped, pop-punk-tinged brand of pop rock. Sounding straight out of an 80’s arcade or movie soundtrack, The NEW Luke Harris remix adds frantic synth and a pulse-racing electronic drumbeat.
ALBUM REVIEW: Art d’Ecco — “In Standard Definition”
With “In Standard Definition,” Art d’Ecco questions modern pop culture through catchy, throwback, glam rock jams. Many of the tracks are simply infectious: loaded with guitar fuzz, creative exploitation of synth, and downright dance-worthy beats.

With Grecian Urn, L.A. post-punk rock band Adult Books gives us a record that’s brooding yet unoppressive in its angst.
