The Walkmen are pre-releasing their excellent new album You & Me today (three weeks ahead of its official release on August 19th) to help raise money for cancer research. The band is offering You & Me exclusively through AmieStreet.com for a mere $5 and donating the entire amount of each album sold to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Hypeful strongly recommends you check out You & Me - it’s certainly one of the best albums I have heard in 2008 and this is a great opportunity! For more evidence of the new album’s greatness, simply check out “In The New Year” below.
The first track from the new Kings Of Leon album, Only by the Night (Sept. 23rd), made its debut on the interwebs today. Although it’s not the official single, “Crawl” is a standard rocker that serves as the first peak at the Followills’ booze-and-pill-fueled fourth album featuring the group rocking out and getting political.
The nice gents of The Morning Benders have decided to thank fans for their support by generously releasing a free album of ace cover songs! Recorded in their apartment and entitled The Bedroom Covers, the collection of songs is as charming as the band itself. They’ve even managed to put a fresh shine on The Cardigan’s “Lovefool,” a song that was so over-saturated twelve years(!) ago I thought I would never want to hear it again. Check out The Bedroom Covers below and definitely bend an ear to their debut full-length, Talking Through Tin Cans, if you haven’t already!

Datarock have included new song “True Stories” in their live setlists during the past year, but I thought it was worth noting that D-Rock’s Fredrik Saroea temporarily dropped the dance-rock bit and performed an unplugged version of the track for Norwegian TV. Check it out below along with a cranked-up version of the song.
