Air Review: America’s Son

Air Review

Air Review: The band release their new EP, America's Son, this coming spring. Listen to the title track below.

Air Review is a Dallas quintet. They played their first show in May of 2009. Their dynamic, versatile, and energetic live shows have landed them primary support slots for an eclectic group of acts including Portugal. The Man, The Boxer Rebellion, One Eskimo, Blue October, Flyleaf, Bowling for Soup and Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights. Their forthcoming EP, America’s Son, promises to further establish Air Review as a sonically diverse and ambitious act that stands to break out in a major way in 2012, simply by staying the course it has already set. The tracks “America’s Son”, “Low Wishes”, and “Waiting Lessons” have received international acclaim from the blogosphere, which include a feature in The Huffington Post. The EP will be released in the spring with one more single to be released soon.

Download America’s Son here. Even if you don’t download the MP3 (why wouldn’t you), do take the time to watch the video above, well worth the watch. The track itself is a gorgeous slow-burner for that lazy summer day listening. Granted we’ve a long way to go yet until the summer but America’s Son should do a lot in helping you get there a bit quicker.

The Detours

The Detours release their new EP, Ignite, on March 12th

It’s all crunch, crunch, crunch for your Monday with some new music for you from The Detours (Glasgow, Scotland) who release their Ignite EP on March 12 this year.

Formed in 2006, The Detours’ combination of energetic guitar riffs and soaring sing-a-long choruses has seen them amass a legion of loyal fans. The band have had the pleasure of sharing stages with many distinguished artists including Bury Tomorrow, Asking Alexandria, The Answer and Slaves To Gravity to name but a few. A slight re-jig of the primary lineup in 2010 saw the introduction of the very experienced vocalist Matt Littlefair. With his arrival, a maturity in the band’s songwriting developed, and his cleaner vocal added new dimensions, possibilities and commercial appeal.

Having appeared live on Channel 4’s ‘Orange Unsigned’ show, and beaten off over 10,000 other acts to win Live & Unsigned 2009, The Detours have unsurprisingly become renowned for their dynamic live shows. With their debut EP, Ignite, they hope to capture that energy for which they’ve become so well known. Opening track One Last Chance recalls Four Ways To Scream Your Name-era Funeral For A Friend, the title track riffs itself into a frenzy, while Free simply soars its way to the finish line.

2011 was a year of firsts for the band; first festival appearance, first single launch and first music video. 2012 welcomes The Detours with open arms, and will kick off fully when they play select Scottish tour dates with Attack! Attack! this February.

Coast Jumper: For Youth

Coast Jumper

More new music for your Friday, this time from California with Coast Jumper’s For Youth. Grab the download below or check out the album Grand Opening, released August 2011.

Coast Jumper forwent the luxury of dingy motel rooms and camped out across the country, packing their lives into a car that would take them from the blank winters of their youth to where they would eventually complete their five-man lineup in California.

Meeting as teenagers in upstate New York, the members of Coast Jumper spent four years growing up together under the same roof, enduring the harsh winters, friendships come and gone, life. Sequestering themselves one winter in their dimly lit basement, Coast Jumper assembled the collage that is Grand Opening. Equal parts ambiance, aggression, harmony, and release, it’s about lost loves but it’s also about new ones. It’s about finding purpose and meaning in something, but also becoming disillusioned with the whole damn thing. It feels like a bunch of kids growing into themselves. In that basement, they took an oath to never stop.

Grand Opening Tracklisting

  • Sutures i
  • For Youth
  • Lawless
  • Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)
  • Disabler
  • Please Stay Awake
  • Infinite Something
  • Windowsill
  • Sutures ii
  • …to the West!
