If you’re in Seattle this Friday, Nov 3, come see New Felts perform live @ Skylark (facebook event page for more info). We try to feature up-and-coming indie artists when we can and their new track Ritual Man in particular has got that professional sound that deserves radio airtime in our opinion. I previously saw them perform at The Rendezvous back in August. Click that Like button on New Felts on Facebook to hear about upcoming shows and follow New Felts on SoundCloud for future tracks.

Linkin Park – Good Goodbye (Music Video) http://mitchmckenna.com/post/17616/linkin-park-good-goodbye-music-video
Linkin Park has now released an official music video for Good Goodbye; their latest single that dropped early last month. The video adds intro music very similar to that of the Stranger Things title sequence, as well as being shot in an similar 1980s sci-fi movie look with neon red/pink bleeding edges. The video combines Mortal Kombat with NBA Jam in a supernatural life-or-death basketball competition where NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar serves as judge and executioner. Pusha T and Stormzy from the single also make appearances in the video. The rest of the album One More Light is out May 19.Download: iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Listen: Spotify, Apple Music

Linkin Park – Good Goodbye ft. Pusha T & Stormzy http://mitchmckenna.com/post/17618/linkin-park-good-goodbye-ft-pusha-t-stormzy
In Febuary, we posted Heavy ft. Kiiara; Linkin Park’s first single off their upcoming album One More Light. After that, Battle Symphony dropped in March. Now LP’s shaking things up again; enlisting Pusha T and Stomrzy for a new rock/rap collaboration that’s sure to please those old Fort Minor fans out there. English rapper Stormzy gives the song’s second half a bit of that Tinie Tempah feel. The new album’s due to drop May 19.Download: iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Listen: Spotify, Apple Music

Phases – Part Of Me http://mitchmckenna.com/post/16889/phases-part-of-me
I first heard this song a couple months ago while Pat was in town on the speakers in a clothing store and shouted across the store for him to Shazam it. I keep coming back to it so I figured I’d share. It was “Part of Me” by Phases, is an indie pop band from LA. When I checked out their Youtube channel, I discovered they gained some popularity with their debut music video last year; I’m In Love With My Life, but not too much since then. Like Part of Me, a lot of their beats have an almost circa-michael-jackson sound, eg. see Cooler, and Betty Blue. None of which I like quite as much as this one, so I’m hoping they put out more like this.Download: iTunes, Amazon, Google Play Listen: Spotify

Joel Plaskett – The Park Avenue Sobriety Test [Album] http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15298/joel-plaskett-the-park-avenue-sobriety-test-album
East Coast Canada’s indie rock pride Joel Plaskett has released his fourth solo album. Plaskett’s an artist we’ve had the pleasure of seeing perform live on several occasions while back home in Halifax and PEI. The title of the album comes from Plaskett’s old neighbour Roy, who called the metal guardrail at the corner of Park Avenue and King Street in Darmouth NS, the “Park Avenue sobriety test” because of how many impaired drivers got caught running into it.The first song off the album we’ve got for you is my personal favorite and the latest single called Credits Roll. You can actually get a free download of Credits Roll on joelplaskett.com if you fill out his fan questionnaire.   The second song we wanna feature is the first song that Joel released for the album, and the title track of the album. You can just tell the song is perfect for singing along to at a live concert and Plaskett’s actually been performing it for years. In a well-shot video by Eli Leavitt you can see him performing The Park Avenue Sobriety Test live in Hamilton ON in 2013.  And as bonus, just a month ago Plaskett released On a Dime, my 3rd favorite track off the album. J.P. Cormier contributes some East Coast fiddle to it’s pub-folk-rock sound.  Others tracks off the album worth checking out is Alright OK (in particular will make longtime fans feel at home), Broken Heart Songs (with a little bit of a country sound while poking fun at country), and Song for Jersey (which you can watch a live performance of Song for Jersey posted by Exclaim! TV).Download: iTunes Buy CD: MapleMusic

Tep No – Lana Del Dre [Free Download] http://mitchmckenna.com/post/14817/tep-no-lana-del-dre-free-download
Our free download today comes from Toronto Artist/Producer Tep No. Even before I heard he was from Toronto I thought he had a bit of a The Weeknd sound to him. Tep No gained some traction when his Promises single took off with 2800+ upvotes on Hypem and 400,000 listens when it was posted on MrSuicideSheep’s youtube channel here. He’s also got a couple video’s up on his Youtube channel. La Belle Musique tossed together some neat visuals to this single you can check out here. Shout out to Toronto native Ann Liao for tipping us off to this one on twitter. Download: Soundcloud

Born Cages – Rolling Down The Hill (Glastrophobie Remix) http://mitchmckenna.com/post/14806/born-cages-rolling-down-the-hill-glastrophobie-remix

Up-and-coming house remix artist Glastrophobie from Germany may have another hit on his hands. With the chorus and hand-clapping beat, the track has a (slightly more upbeat) feel of something that could be from the band Fun. He got some serious attention with his free remix of Anna Graceman – Words which has over 600,000 listens now. I’ll be honest, we weren’t even able to track down Born Cages‘ original track online, maybe the remix is just overshadowing it.

Urban Cone - FREAK (Official Music Video) http://mitchmckenna.com/post/10759/freak-urban-cone-directed-by-larsson-amp-lindh

Came across this Indie-Electro-Rock band from Stockholm, Sweden as I was checking out some videos on Olof Lindh's Vimeo Channel. If you digging their sound, I found a previous video from them titled Urban Photography too.

Gorillaz: Journey to Plastic Beach http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7732/gorillaz-journey-to-plastic-beach

Now this is pretty damn cool! The Gorillaz have realeased a 15 minute featurette called Journey To Plastic Beach. This is like a short movie and the animation is phenomenal!

The short animation, from the award winning Jamie Hewlett, sees Gorillaz mastermind Murdoch tell the story behind the album 'Plastic Beach'. The film combines previous Gorillaz videos with new and unseen footage, and finally it all makes sense. The Gorillaz characters even come face to face with their real life counterparts!

Hammock - Breathturn http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7680/hammock-breathturn

A track by Hammock which is a fantastical musical collaboration between Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson. Pulled from the upcoming album 'Chasing After Shadows...Living With The Ghosts' released in May, this accompanying video is a breathtaking cinematic little gem directed by David Altobelli and quietly unfolds the story of a boy and his origami cranes.
