Song of the Week - August 7

Matt's Song of the Week

I chose this song because Earl is the man. He's one of the most talented rappers I have ever heard and his delivery is insane. This song is just fun to bump every now and then.


Mike's Song of the Week

I picked Senior Skip Day by Mac Miller. The is addicting and Mac is a good rapper. I love this song.

Psychic Babble - My Own Stupid Mouth Review

Cover art for My Own Stupid Mouth

Earlier we did an interview with Colin Frangicetto of circa survive about his side project “Psychic Babble” and just recently released a 4 song EP for free. The relaxed indie sound is unique and hard to describe in a very good way. The best way to describe the sound is “honest”, all the music that Colin has come out with so far has sounded like music that is truthful and something he believes in. Psychic Babble is the kind of music that you can really vibe to. Colin’s voice has taken me by surprise from the start when I heard his music, it’s something I just didn’t expect. Psychic Babble just sounds so real and relaxed that I can’t wait till the official album drops on August 11th.

F**K YEAH RATING: 7.6 - Good EP.

Check It: Toro Y Moi

Strange name, strange sounds, amazing music. That is what the solo act Toro y Moi is: a one man group with sole member Chazwick Bundick shaping a new wave of music known as the chillwave movement.

Toro y Moi means "Bull and I". His songs are hard to describe. They contain electric instrumentals with soft and ambient vocals. His sound pops and sounds a lot different from most out there. His music really provides an atmosphere to the point where you often get lost in the music. Its hard to describe so listen to his song Talamak:

He's a real down to earth guy too unlike a lot of other players in the music industry. He's quickly gaining speed too as his fan base grows at a very fast rate. You should definitely check him out, hes a fun indie artist and he's definitely one of the chillest musicians I've ever heard.

Album Review: UFK - Bass Culture (Compilation CD)

This weekend UKF released a new compliation of dubstep songs from producers hailing from the United Kingdom, the home of dubstep. There is a large level of diversity on this album and it is sure to please most in at least some parts. The album Bass Culture has two full disks of heavy hitting dubstep songs. This compilation cd is a must for all who are just getting into the genre of dubstep, or for those who want to find some new producers. There are no repeats of any artist throughout the album so the variety found on this 36 song compilation album is unmatched. Bass culture does a good job on representing the type of dubstep found in the UK. Combine the price, amount of music, variety and quality that can be found on this compilation it’s hard to find a reason to not pick it up. Check out a megamix of the album below. 

F**K YEAH RATING: 8.4 - If you like the genre, it's great.

Drake Releases Leaks Another Song

Recently Drake released another song from his upcoming album "Take Care". Following the success of "Marvin's Room" and "Dreams Money Can Buy", the release of this song was exciting for many. The song isn't an R&B song like "Marvin's Room", it is a rap song. Personally, it sounds pretty good. But what do you think? Check it out:

Song of the Week - July 31

Matt's Song of the Week

My song of the week is "Thinking of You" by Frank Ocean. I chose it because he's an incredibly talented singer first of all and second of all the way he orchestrates his songs is flawless and a breath of fresh air to R&B.

Mike's Song of the Week

I picked "Not Now" by Blink-182. I picked it cause theres open show is this week and this brings back memories of a time bbefore they broke up and now its a start of a new Blink era.

Comment below or on facebook and twitter and let us know which song you like better!

Check It: Odd Future

A few members of Odd Future including Left Brain, Syd, Tyler the Creator and Hodgy Beats.

      It's hard to describe Odd Future, but we'll start off with the full name of this California hip hop collective: Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All or quite simply OFWGKTA. They began only a few years ago and since then have created they're own brand of hip hop. They have been labeled as a somewhat horrific form of music by many critics, but often deny it.
      This group was started by Tyler, the Creator. He soon made major additions to the group such as Earl Sweatshirt (although Earl is currently in a correctional school in Samoa), Syd the Kid, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain and Frank Ocean though it is said that there are hundreds of members in the "Wolf Gang". Within the group there are several divisions such as EarlWolf (Earl and Tyler), Mellowhype (Left Brain and Hodgy), and a few others. Though they are a group, they all record their own stuff. Tyler has his own songs, Earl has his own, and etc. However, they do often feature each other in their songs frequently.
       The content of some of the members' music is often very horrific and often heavy. Some allude to rape, murder, and disrespecting authority/society.  In several interviews Tyler is asked about why his songs are so violent and he gives a good answer: movies do it. Movies contain incredible violence frequently and it's often much worse than things musicians write so why can't he make songs that contain lyrical content that mirrors some actions in movies?
      Odd Future is somewhat Indie at the moment, but with Tyler up for a VMA that could change very soon.. I see big or should I say odd things in the future for this Wolf Gang. Make sure you check them out and let us know what you think! In the meantime, here's a song by one of their member's Earl Sweatshirt, but beware, this song is an example of their heavy music:

Interview with Mark Battles!

Recently, we were given the opportunity to interview an up-and-coming rapper named Mark Battles.

 He's one of the best rappers I've heard in while so of course I took this opportunity. Here is the interview, enjoy:


Hello and thank you for the interview. Can you introduce yourself to those who may not know you?
I'm Mark Battles a 19 year old Hiphop artist from Indianapolis, Indiana.

 What are some of your musical influences?
I have several musical influences but to name a few Tupac, Eminem, Drake, and Biggie.

Do you have a favorite musician?
My favorite musician would have to be Eminem.

A lot of people have been telling you to join a label (Taylor Gang, Young Money, etc.), if you could pick one to join, which one would it be?

I don't have any certain interest in a label currently. I'm fine with staying independent but if the right deal comes I'd always consider it.

When did you decide that you wanted to be a rapper?
I started doing rap in 2005.

How would you describe your music?
My music has a modern day Hiphop vibe with good lyrics and catchy punch lines.

 What are your goals for the future?
I'm currently about to release my debut mixtape "Good Mornin America." The near future I want to work on building a fan base and creating my buzz. The far future I want to be up with the big people in the rap game.

Thank you for the interview, as always, is there something you would like to say to our viewers?

The Cool Kids - When Fish Ride Bicycles Review

When Fish Ride Bicycles cover art

I've been looking forward to this album for a real long time now, and when it finally cameout I was excited. Initially I didn't like the album, but after listening to it for a while, it really grew on me. The songs on the album really pop. They have a lot more energy than other songs from their previous mixtapes/ albums.

The downsides however are also more than present. The album sounds so much different from anything else by The Cool Kids. It sounds as if the producers, one of which was Pharell, had too much of an impact on this album. The Cool Kid's are known for their amazing delivery and sick lyrics, but this album fails to deliver. It sounds just like another rap album and similar to N.E.R.D. The album fails to showcase The Cool Kid's talent.

F**K YEAH RATING: 6 - If you like it, buy it- Nothing else to say.

Music News: Up All Night

Recently Blink-182, one of the pioneers of modern Punk Rock,  released a new song called "Up All Night."

It was released July 15, 2011 and since then has been the talk of music fans across the world. Here are the thoughts of one of our new writers, Tom:

Blink-182 is back with new music, and has it been all that we have been waiting for? Honestly, no. Their new single up all night does not capture any sort of angst or punk rock feel that makes Blink what it is. It is clear that Tom brought much of his angels and airwaves sound into blink, and it really shouldn’t be there. I was a little concerned from the start as it seems that making new music with blink has been a second thought for all of them since they all have their other projects that they seem to be much more involved in. The communication internally with the band has be very bad as there have been multiple times mark has said one thing and Travis and said something else and tom said something else as well. It’s unfortunate, but you can hear all of this in the song. I might be over reacting and all I can hope for is perhaps the next single will be much more similar to their older work, even if it’s their untitled album. Up all night sounds like an angels and airwaves song more than anything to me and even though I enjoy that sound, it’s not the sound I want to hear from blink. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be another cash cow like give the drummer some.

 

 

I personally think Tom hit the nail right on the head, but Mike thinks much differently. Let us know what you think by commenting below or on facebook or twitter.

Mike's Song of the Week
Blink-182 - Up All Night

Blink is a band that I grew up listening to and they finally came out with a new song, and this is that song. I love it!

Albums to Look For - July

July 4
Viva Brother - Famous First Words

I'm very excited for this album. I heard of this band not too long ago through they're live stuff at Glastonbury and I was blown away. They sound different from most bands and they're reinventing UK rock. Definitely the gem for this month.
July 12

Theory of a Deadman - The Truth is...

Theory of a Deadman have been around a pretty good time now. I heard them a while ago and I was interested immediately. They sound different, but have a classic sound about them. Its going to be interesting to see if they can evolve their sound on this album.

The Cool Kids - When Fish Ride Bicycles

I've been looking forward to this album for a pretty good time now. The Cool Kids have been my favorite rap group since The Bake Sale, their first album, and I'm very excited for this new album. They bring an new school twist to an old school sound and their creative lyrics are great to listen to. I'm hoping they can deliver the same amount of greatness with this album as with their previous album.

Incubus - If Not Now, When?

Incubus has been around a pretty long time and many people have been anticipating they're album. According to people that listen to them frequently, many of there songs however are sadly similar at times so were hoping that they can pull out a suprise with a groundbreaking album.  They have a great live show so I'm hoping the album is as good.

July 19
3 Doors Down - Time of my Life

3 Doors Down is another veteran band out to create another great CD. They have a pretty generic sound, but I'm hoping they can create something interesting with this album.

Theophilus London - Timez Are Weird These Days

Theophilus London is a somewhat new rapper, but he easily has more talent than half of the other rappers I see out there. He has all the traits of an incredible rapper. He has great delivery, lyrical prowess, and is in a sense, a genius. This July is going to be a great month for rap.

Interview with Best Wishes!

In one of our more interesting interviews, we got the chance to speak with the band Best Wishes. Check it out:

 

Hey, were here with Neale and Kyle from the band Best Wishes. Can you tell us a little bit about yourselves? 

 

  It consists of 4 remarkably polite/good looking dudes who always do their homework and never eat junk food after 10pm. Tom on guitar and vocals, myself on guitar and vocals, Kyle plays the drums, and Steve plays the bass. Anything else you wanna know just find Best Wishes on myspace or facebook or bandcamp where you can get a ton of free music from us.

How exactly did Best Wishes form?

Tom & Kyle used to play in a band years and years ago, probably sometime around when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Some time went by, the dinosaurs died, Jurassic Park never got off the ground, and then they met me through another band I used to play with. Together we played a few shows together and a friendship was born. Hop in the Delorean and press fast-forward and you'll see myself post-band break up and Best Wishes in need of some fresh lemonade, if you know what I'm sayin, and we wrote some jams together and I joined up with them. Our previous bass player was a great guy named TK but his work schedule was really conflicting so we brought in Steve who took over on bass and here we are today.

Can you describe you're music to our viewers?

 We've heard that we've been decribed as "fun". But you can hear a lot of different stuff from us, we go from heavy to folk and make a bunch of stops in between so we'd like to think there's something for everyone!

What are some of your personal goals for the future in regards to the band?

  I mean, it'd be great to be signed and tour and blah blah blah, anyone who tells you they don't is lying to themselves. But I guess when it all boils down we just want to continue to have a lot of fun and write music that gets us out of bed everyday and just keep ourselves on track by hanging out with fans. 

What are some of your bands musical influences?

  This Providence, Appleseed Cast, Minus The Bear, The Grateful Dead, Thursday, Saves The Day, Thrice, Maritime, & about a billion more

Are than any bands you hate?

  Do you mean personally or...? I mean, the guys in Big Time Rush stole my sisters bike a couple years ago. If you're reading this, lock your doors.

Can you tell us some fun facts about the band?

  Kyle uses a trash picked snare drum, Tom hand made one of our guitars, & we don't take showers after we practice on the day of a show. Chalk it up to superstition I guess?

Thank you for the interview, anything else you want to include? 

  I think we've said to much as it is, anything more revealing and we'd have to kill you. Thanks for having us, love what you've done with the place. Also, just a reminder, go to www.bestwishesyo.bandcamp.com and you can download 10 of our songs for FREE. Hope you enjoy!

Interview with Psychic Babble!

Here at Pure Vibe, we love getting our audience involved! That being said, we gave our friend Tom the chance to interview Colin of Circa Survive about his new and amazing new project, Psychic Babble. Check out our interview:

 
 

1. I’m a big fan of what you do in circa and was happy to hear that you were going to be coming out with some other music. What made you decide to start Psychic Babble?

It kind of started by accident. I'm always recording music but about 5 years ago I started hearing these melodies and chord progressions in my head that felt much different then what I do in Circa. They felt personally bound to me and were often a direct result of some kind of event in my life or feeling/obsession in my head that I felt compelled to express with my own voice, words, etc. It's ultimately an exercise/experiment in creative freedom and personal expression.

2. For those who don’t know you already, could you tell us a little about yourself?

I'm 29 years old, I have blue eyes and enjoy long walks on the beach. HAHA I dont really know what you need to know, but the answer to that question is inside of these songs.

3. The sound of Psychic Babble is pretty unique, what are some of the influences you have musically?

I'm inspired by so many artists. To list some... The Beach Boys, Peter Gabriel, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Portishead, The Beatles... that's like the classic stuff and then I'm just constantly searching for new music these days. There's so much good stuff that it is overwhelming! I'm very inspired by Toro Y Moi, Kurt Vile, Puro Instinct, Panda Bear and about a zillion others. The key ingredient for good music to me is honesty.

4. You just recently revealed the album cover for your album coming out this summer, what made you decide on that picture for the cover?

Well it's weird because I paint alot and I think most of my friends expected me to paint the cover art but I just felt like that picture kind of says it all. It's me as a kid and when I look at it, it transports me back to when I can remember music first taking hold of my mind. I'm obviously trying out for the Beach Boys in that picture, surfing on a sled in a baby pool. It's representative of the journey from then to now, which is how i see the album as well.

5. What made you decided on the title “My Brother’s Ears/ My Sister’s Eyes”?

Well before I had named it I was listening to the rough cuts of the songs with my brother. A lot of musicians say that when you listen to your own music with other people, you listen with their ears or you kind of project what you think they're feeling/thinking when they're listening and I just felt so awesome about my songs when I listened with him. I didn't have any of those weird shitty feelings that I often would get when listening with others. And then I was around my sister the next day and I felt like looking at the world through her eyes put this romantic glaze over everything. She is young and full of intense energy that is inspiring to be around. 

6. After releasing the album, what do you plan on doing going forward with Psychic Babble?

I think the beauty of this project is in its looseness. It can be whatever I want it to be. I think ill just keep making records and other interesting musical endeavors. Yenta is my own label and I think that's kind of half of the equation here. It's another channel for me to express myself so maybe I'll start putting out my friend's music and things like that. I really dont know. The future is wide open and unknown. 

7. As far as I can tell the album is available via only digital download or vinyl, why have you decided to leave out cds as part of the release?

I just think for this project it makes sense. It's less physical material/waste, less cost of goods and in general I think that the format is on its way out. If people want a CD that badly they will burn it from a digital copy. I'm a vinyl collector so that's where my heads at with this. It might bum a few people out but ive heard very little complaining about it.

8. When does My Brother’s Ears/ My Sister’s Eyes come out?

August 16th worldwide! 

9. Thanks for the interview, is there anything else you would like to say?

          Thank you very much for thinking of me. xoxo


And there you have it. We want to thank and congratulate Tom for helping us out and getting a great interview!

Interview with The Dropout Plan!

SO I got an interview with one of my favorite bands from New Jersey. They're called The Dropout Plan, definitely check this out:

I'm here with Ryan from The Dropout Plan, can you tell me a little about your band?

Well we're a 5 piece, formally a 6 piece band from South Jersey. I'd like to think that we're in the genre of alternative/pop-punk/indie. But, we really try not to limit ourselves to one thing.
Now when I first heard of you, your name was really mysterious to me, so can you explain how you guys came up with the name The Dropout Plan?

Pretty much, we got our name from us all being college dropouts and this is our plan, to play music and take names.

How did you guys form the band?

It started as an acoustic act running the Coffee Shop circut for about a year or two. Just me and our former vocalist Jake. Then after about a year we pulled in Mike and Monty on guitar and Dean on drums. Then we eventually lost our other vocalist and this is where we are now.
What's your favorite part about touring and playing your music for people?

We all really just love the energy and love we get from the people who enjoy our music. That's really what it's all about for us man, the love of it.
What would you say is your most memorable moment in the band?

For me personally, it's all the places it's taken me over the years. And all the people I've met through doing this. One specific memory would be losing our van midway on tour and having to trek across America on a shit Greyhound bus. Those people that run that bus service are miserable, but it was an awesome experience. We had to leave like 90% percent of our belongings in a random hotel because we lost that van. Crazy stuff haha.
This question you can skip if you want haha, but which band is your favorite to play/ tour with?

So far I'd have to say most of the bands from our SJ scene are pretty awesome to play with. All the bands that keep it real and do this for that reason. Specifically I'd say Suit Up!, Hold Your Own, Party Attack (R.I.P), and a couple others I might have forgotten.
What are the band's goals for the future?

Our main goal is to just keep doing this for as long as humanly possible. If we can get by just surviving and being able to continue, I'd say that would be the greatest thing of all. Oh, and to be on Warped, but who doesn't have that as a goal.
Can you share any fun facts about the band?

We are extremley good at hacky sack haha, who would have thought that being in a band mean't many, many hours of perfecting the art of hack. That passed a lot of time when we we're recording waiting for our turn to get in the studio.
Thank you for giving me some of your time! And as usual, is there anything you would like to tell our viewers?

Stay true! I'd have to say be on the lookout for us because this is just the beginning for TDOP. And you can grab our album "Get Educated" on bandcamp so go pick that up. We busted our asses for that, and really want people to enjoy it!

Listen to some of there music below:

There you have it! A bunch of funloving guys with some crazy stories. Be sure to check them out.

Interview with Count to Four!

So I got the chance to interview one of my favorite bands, Count to Four. What a great experience and these guys definitely provided us with a good view of their band, check it out:

 

Can you guys tell us a little bit about your band?
We are a pop punk band that really just loves playing music and wouldn't want to do anything else. We all grew up listening to similar bands and Pop Punk is really where all of our roots lie. Lyrically, our music deals a lot with growing up and losing your childhood. The genre helps to convey that message because it is something that all of us relate our childhood to. All in all, music is just something that defines every member of Count To Four. It is all we think about, talk about, and work towards.

 

When did you all start playing your instruments?
We all started playing our instruments when we were around 13. Mike really wanted to be a singer so his dad taught him how to play guitar in order to further himself musically. Pete started playing guitar in middle school and messed with a little bit of everything and eventually found his "true calling" on drums in high school,. Jay grew up in a house of vocalists, so he started in choirs at a young age. He then took up playing guitar and piano around the same time and kept with it.

 

What would you say was your favorite place to play at?
Without out a doubt there's a really good music scene down in Sea Isle and in the Southern Jersey Shore area. All the kids down there are really great and get involved and go to shows. We loved playing Harvest Fest in our hometown Barrington, it's free and a lot of kids always come out, although me may not do it next year because kids were arrested last year for moshing. Shows at the Trocadero  in Philadelphia  are always a good time too.

 

What kind of bands do you all listen to?
Pete grew up listening to a lot of New Found Glory, Less than Jake, Fall Out Boy, a lot of things in that, his favorite CD ever has been and still is Fall out Boy's "Take this to your grave" album since the 6th grade. Jay's influences mainly came from Blink-182 all the way to Bruce Springsteen, although he's really into metal bands as well(unfortunately, haha), such as Devil Wears Prada, Mastodon and Porcupine Tree. Mike main influence musically is Jimmy Eat World. He also takes a large amount of influence from older pop punk bands such as Rufio, Fall Out Boy, Mest, Relient K, Good Charlotte, and New Found Glory.

 

We were looking at your bio and it said you started Count to Four in high school. What was it like starting your own band in high school?
When you're in high-school, everyone and their mothers have a band. Most do it to have fun and fit in. But as everyone gets older, they develop different priorities and responsibilities and start to drift away from being musicians. Only the one's who want it badly enough prevail and keep going. When we started this band, we just clicked together and started making music, we didn't know much about what touring was like, or much about the industry at all. It's been a huge learning experience both business-wise and with our relationships as friends and bandmates. We're all in college now and we're still pushing hard for this. We all want this more than anything. I don't think any of us thought it'd come as far as it did with college being  in the way, or that we'd have an album on iTunes or have kids singing our songs back to us. We were just four kids playing music for fun, and when it comes down to it that's what we still are, we play music that we love and love it even more when we meet other people that love it.

 

Thank you for the interview! Is there anything else you'd like to tell people?
You can find all of our links to our music and tour info at Facebook.com/counttofour.  We will be going back to 37 Studios in Michigan to record our first full length with Matt Dalton this October, we'll be recording probably Seven new songs and keeping two or three from the E.p. We are going to try to make this album different from what we've done before and take more time with the songs; we're pushing ourselves harder as musicians and hopefully we give our fans something new but familiar. We'll be trailing Warped Tour for a lot of the east coast stops to promote our band as well, so make sure to look for us at the gates handing out samplers! Also we share a strong passion for Pokemon, facial hair, and rest stops and believe that everyone else should too. and one day Jay might just cut his hair...one day.

And there you have it. A bunch of funloving guys with a lot of talent and an interest in "Pokemon, facial hair and rest stops." Be sure to check them out and show some love! Stay Frosty.

 

Follow Up: New LMFAO and Liam Finn Albums

Earlier this month we posted a bunch of albums that were due out for the month. Here are some of the review for the albums released today:


LMFAO - Sorry for Party Rocking

Sorry for Party Rocking Cover Art

      I was very impressed with this album which came as an immense surprise to me. Now, of course I didn't rate this album on lyrical prowess, but more or less how much it would vibe with a party scene. This album has basically every mood that would be included in a club- energetic, chill, sexual. I was caught up in the sound of the album and it just worked.
     The album was however by no means perfect. At times it got really boring and repetitive and though the title of the album clearly showed it was about partying, that was literally all there was to this album. I swear I heard the word party at least 5 times in each line.

F**K YEAH RATING: 6.7 = Eh. I guess, if your into that stuff.


Liam Finn - FOMO

Cover art for FOMO

     I heard several songs from this album a while ago and I thought it was going to be a gem... I was right. This album is captivating. The lyrics are great, the sound is awesome- the talent and time put into this album is clearly evident.
     It was really hard to pinpoint flaws with this album cause it was so well done. It does sound a little reminiscent of other songs I've heard, but thats only barely.   Other than a few small flaws that most albums have, this album was great!
F**K YEAH RATING: 8.9= Definitely give the album a listen. Buy it if you can.


As always, comment below or on twitter and face book and give us your opinions on the albums or anything you want to say. Yomp.
