Ashpark’s music is an eclectic form of melodic rock and experimental effects that craft a unique sound with both an edge and an intimacy. Their songs feature atmospheric textures and introspective lyrics, with distinct and driving rhythms. Listen to Still Unknown on Earbits Radio!

Move over, Flight of the Conchords, because America’s newest New Zealand fixation is this little lady here known as Kimbra. Well, maybe all of America isn’t fixated on her yet, but I definitely am. Because in a world where pop[ular] music is turning to chizz, Kimbra totally saves it by reinventing it and making it fun again.

The Mars Volta‘s latest album, Noctourniquet, takes a different musical direction than what their fans may be used to.  It’s not as psychedelic, in fact at times it is a lot simpler and cleaner than the electric whirlwind of sound that it usually is, e.g. “Empty Vessels Make the Loudest Sound.” Of course, every song can be guaranteed to have one essential Mars Volta ingredient: Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s amazing voice.

“Aegis” and “Molochwalker” stays true to their original sound; heavy guitars and chaotic, psychedelic keyboard melodies with a complicated yet rhythmic drum beat.

 

We recently got together with a bunch of our bands (to get drunk) and realized some of them didn’t know what exactly Earbits is and all of the ways to get the most out of it.  EVP of Music Yotam Rosenbaum ventured into creating a short demo that should help you get a picture of why we’re here, and why it’s awesome for you. Please check it out and let us know if you have any questions!

In a couple weeks I’ll be sitting on a panel at the NARM conference discussing why most music startups fail.  Many of the startups we’ll talk about are distribution services that help artists sell their music and other goods.  A lot of them haven’t failed, per se, but they’ve failed to achieve scale.  A lot of people believe that’s a sign of the size of the independent market, but it’s not.  The reason these companies haven’t scaled isn’t because there is no market for their products, it’s because 99% of artists have no effective marketing solutions.

Spring has sprung and brought along the fantastic Los Angeles based electro-pop duo, Backnbloom and their album, Music for the Modern Monkey.

Backnbloom’s electro-pop is innovative, catchy, spry, loads of fun and total headphone ear candy. It’s amazing to note that so many different sounds can emerge from two mere mortals.
