Psychic Ills Video Is, Well, Psychy

The new Psychic Ills  album  Mirror Eye arrived on January 20 from the Social Registry, and Mantis is the first video to be released. The band gets all psychedelic in a laid-back subdued way, with kaleidoscopic visions reminiscent of the 60's heyday when every psych band worth their salt shot a video against ink-blotty backdrops. This video is cool, and will definitely cool you out with its serene vibe.

Lily Allen Covers The Clash and Goes Straight to Hell [AUDIO]

There's something strange about (supposed) nice girl Lily Allen covering a dark song like The Clash's Straight To Hell. She portrays herself as so innocent in her music, so hearing her get darkly political a la The Clash is sort of juxtapositioning of two different worlds. Dig the two worlds colliding, she comes off sounding more capable then you might imagine.

Taken from the War Child Heroes album due out on Februrary 16th.

These Are Powers Remix: Schizo But Good

Tripwire is offering a remix of one the tracks from the upcoming These Are Powers release All Aboard Future which arrives on February 17. The song is the Butchy Fuego remix of the track "Easy Answers." It's a deep bass, schizo kind of workout for a song from a band that makes music that's kind of schizo on its own. Good times.
