Kick start your weekend with this stellar remix of Friendly Fires’ “Hawaiian Air” by a British fellow that goes by the ridiculously awesome moniker Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (or T-E-E-D). With remixes like this, this will not be the last time we talk about T-E-E-D.

This year’s summer anthem has been chosen.  Go forth and be excellent to each other.

The group that brought you dance-rock gems like “Jump in the Pool” and “Paris” recently put out their second full length, Pala.  The track “Blue Cassette” has quickly become a favorite on the album with its tropical flare and infectious rhythm.  The trio put the song out for free download a while back and it has been on repeat in my head ever since.  Give a listen below and download it for the price of an email.  Head HERE to purchase Pala.

That Australia…so hot right now.  Yet another excellent electropop export from the Aussie island, Strange Talk.  The group was only established February of last year, but have already made a grand splash in their native country.  With a sound likened to trailblazers Phoenix and Cut Copy and peers Friendly Fires and The Collectable Few, Strange Talk is ready to be plugged into any summer mix.  The group recently released its four song Strange Talk EP on Neon Gold.  Listen to standout tracks “Climbing Walls” and “We Can Pretend” below and order the EP HERE.

The internet can be a scary and wonderful place.  A few days ago it proved to be the latter as I stumbled across The Collectable Few.  The West London four piece are dead-set on becoming the next talked about indie rock act.  With a sound along the lines of Two Door Cinema Club and Friendly Fires the group features shimmering guitars, danceable beats, and catchy vocals.  Their most recent single “Headstrong” has all the makings of a huge hit with its extremely infectious chorus and energy.  RAC’s own Maury mixed the single and accompanied it with a great remix.  Listen to “Headstrong” and another StB favorite “Glamour” below.  Head HERE to buy the single and HERE to listen to more songs from The Collectable Few.
