Daytrotter Announces Direct Payments To Artists + Frictionless Sharing/Listening Of Session Links

1Since I started Daytrotter in 2006, it’s always been my goal to do as much to promote and expose great music/bands to as many people as we possibly could – helping them sell records, get people out to shows and just generally surviving as artists. We have tens of thousands of people on the site daily and an email list that goes out to over 300,000 people every day. Now we’re going to give bands the opportunity to benefit financially – forever – when they tape a Daytrotter session.

Following up their recent debut of “Elevator Days” from Ordinary Silence, Mixtapes are giving fans another taste of what’s to come from their highly anticipated second studio album with “Bad Parts.”
“The message of “Bad Parts” is simple,” Mixtapes’ guitarist vocalist Maura Weaver tells AltPress.com.  “I feel like a majority of people I know metaphorically sleep through life–instead of viewing life as the great big opportunity that it is, they try to avoid viewing it at all and simply go through the motions hoping for the least amount of pain possible. They might be going to school to get a steady job that they’re miserable in because they feel like they have to, or dating some dude who makes them dislike themselves because he’s great half the time and it’d be hard to break up, anyway. During the quiet parts of the day that they’re forced to think about these “bad parts” of life, they try to forget them through television, alcohol, religion, and superficialities…”  Read more at Altpress.com.
Mixtapes will kick-off a summer long tour next week, starting with the “Let’s Talk Industry Tour,” followed by the “Ordinary Silence Tour” and dates on the Vans Warped Tour.  Pre-order your copy of Ordinary Silence now and catch the band on tour in a city near you!

Royal Canoe – Today We’re Believers album review

1Funky and weird, glitchy and smooth, Royal Canoe’s newest release, the full-length Today We’re Believers, is a strange amalgam of sounds, rhythms, and genres. The band, out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, succeeds on its own terms, using every influence and interest they have to put together this restless and fun collection of songs.

Computer Magic – “A Million Years”

ScreenShot2013-02-28at3.17.29PM.151744Computer Magic’s newest single, “A Million Years”, is an indie dance-pop slice of heaven. Full of synth lines, danceable and catchy, it has a very repetitive chorus that easily gets stuck in your head; even now “I miss you love, I miss you love” is going through my head on a loop. The vocals are effect heavy, but they blend in well with the synth-filled arrangement and the mid-tempo. It’s very easy to imagine this song on at a club, bodies swaying back and forth and arms in the air.

Davenport Cabinet – Our Machine album review

537728_10151282459546911_653657515_nA folk-rock side project from the guitarist of Coheed & Cambria, Travis Stever, Davenport Cabinet strikes the right note on the side of epic without going too far into the prog-metal waters Coheed is known to inhabit. Their newest full-length, Our Machine, is full of indie rock anthems and quasi-connected jams that will call to mind his other band, but without being dependent on them.

We all like stupid fun. It’s a proven fact that a good fart joke will send the average man into a small fit of laughter. Ted is a 120 min fart joke.

OMG SUPERHEROES! – A review of The Avengers

WARNING: This movie turns me into the sort of person that will tell you your opinions are wrong. If you didn’t like it, I honestly think you’re wrong. This review was written by a Marvel fan-boy who feels Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, et cetera, are basically gods among men. If you were looking for something objective¾something other than, “THIS WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!” please disregard this review. Thank you.
