Team Me - "With My Hands Covering Both Of My Eyes I Am Too Scared To Have..."

I know I usually have a rule only to post legit music videos, but I couldn't resist with this one.  I posted their "Dear Sister" video in December, but later fell more in love with this track. Found this clip a few weeks ago and it may have brought tears to my eyes... too inspiring, I suppose.  The crowd's vibe is phenomenal and matches the band's energy perfectly.  Now, this is a show I would like to attend.  The female lead, Synne, is wearing wings for Christ's sake.  Wings! It doesn't get more awesome than this.  To give you a better idea how they perform, check out their other performance of "Weathervanes and Chemicals" at Lydverket in October 2011.

Hunter Hunted - "End of the World"

So at this point, it's pretty clear that human kind made it through.  The "end of of the world" didn't really happen after all. Phew.  But all the hype made this a perfect day for indie rock band, Hunter Hunted, to release their latest music video, "End of the World".  Hailing from LA, these two dudes create some pretty intricate melodies.  Keep an eye out for their full-length album out in 2013.

The post-apocalyptic setting might define the end of the world, but, realistically? And in 2012? I'd be trotting around London like Katy B.  How about you?

The National- "Abel" (Live at Glastonbury - 2010)

...Because we're all fucking CRAZY.  I give you permission to scream this one out.



You deserve to let it loose.  So keep belting.

Band Of Skulls - "Sweet Sour"

This band's a triple threat.  So it's not surprising that the trio hails from the musically-talented UK.  Is it too presumptuous to say that they rival with popular rock sensation The Black Keys? Maybe. But maybe not.  Give this one a listen and let me know.

Now for the visuals accompanying this anthem.  Watching it makes me feel even more badass than I did initially listening to this track (Yes. I'm that girl who "dances" in public places with her headphones blaring...).  But gee wiz these youngsters got moves.

Team Me - "Dear Sister"

This six piece comes from Oslo, Norway.  Their first album, "To The Treetops", was just released this past March.  I love the absurd craziness of this video.  It makes me feel a little more free.  And the melodic synthy-pop goes perfectly with that feeling.  There's so many different sounds in their songs, I don't know where to keep my attention!  

Bastille - "Flaws"

I'm usually not too into anything electronic or pop-y, but I couldn't help feel inspired by this little gem. Bastille (Dan Smith and his bandmates) hails from London and has been around for quite some time.  They only recently grabbed everyones attention with this tune.  The video to go along with it clearly draws inspiration from the 1973 crime flick, Badlands.  The group now has new video out that's also worth a watch: "Bad Blood".  This one's a little hard to follow, but the tune is still a head-bobber and very inspiring.

Atlas Genius - "Trojans"

This song never fails to put a pep in my step.  It's pretty catchy, in my opinion.  Atlas Genius consists of the three Jeffrey brothers and a UK friend.  Originating from southern Australia, they released this first single, "Trojans", last year in May.  Put Phoenix and Foster The People together and BAM! You get this Genius band.
