[Listen] Family Of The Year - "St. Croix"
LA-based indie-folkers Family of the Year recently unveiled their first single, "St. Croix" from their upcoming EP of the same name which is due to drop on September 27th. The song has already been making the rounds in its hometown, topping the "Locals Only" playlist on KROQ and we can see/hear why with it's vibrant 80s-esque riffs and carefree lyrics. This song will definitely be getting added into my weekly rotation. It's definitely a good way to kick off the week, that's for sure!
Following the St Croix EP a proper full length is expected early next year.
The band has confirmed dates in September and October on the west coast sharing the stage with the likes of Viva Brother and Grouplove. You can check out the dates after the jump for more info.
[Watch] Viva Brother - "Still Here" x "David" Live At KROQ
Our favorite gritpoppers Viva Brother performed for KROQ at one of their outdoor barbecue parties in the KROQ Backyard. Have a listen to unplugged performanes of "Still Here" (above) and "David" after the jump. I always love unplugged sessions because you get to see/hear a band stripped of any polishing and from there can make a more clear judgement on the longevity of a band. From the sounds of these videos, I don't see Viva Brother going away any time soon.
Make sure you pick up Famous First Words on August 1st!
[Download] Viva Brother - Daytrotter Session
Our friends now known as Viva Brother (formerly Brother/Brother UK) recently popped into Daytrotter for a quick session, which is now available over on Daytrotter's website. Please enjoy "Fly By Nights", "Darling Buds of May" and the first song they ever wrote as a band, "Time Machine".
The band is also heading out on a messload of tour dates over the next few months in multiple countries, so make sure you check out all the tour dates after the jump. For more information on the tour, make sure you check out their oddly named website.
