Song of the day: The Uniques - "Dungeon"

The Uniques is a band from Slovakia, which is just amazing. They sing in English so they can more easily get recognised in other countries. Their music is mixture of rock, electric music and many other genres. Their sound is also influenced by 80's music and simply just music experimentation is what they do. But they do it really well.

So far, they've only released one LP called From The Dust. It features 7 great tracks including song called "Dungeon". You can now check out this track along with music video.

Stream new albums from Bat for Lashes and Gary Clark Jr.

Last month, I wrote about new album from Gary Clark Jr. This awesome guitar player is set to release his new album next week (October 22). It is called Blak and Blu and it features 13 tracks. Gary's musical style can be best described by the lead single of new record, track called "Ain't Messin 'Round". Check out the song below.


If you like Gary Clark Jr.'s Hendrix-alike sound and don't want to wait until the album is officially out, you can now stream it in its entirety via iTunes. You may have some troubles with the stream though because it is apparently not available in all countries. However, I'm pretty sure if you try to find the album, you'll be able to download it...

Bat for Lashes' new album entitled The Haunted Man is also available to be streamed. Although, it is already out (it was released on October 12), you can still stream it via NPR here. It may help you decide whether you should buy the album or not.

Picture of the day: October 18, 2012

Austin City Limits festival took place last weekend (October 12-14) in Austin, Texas. Awesome bands like  Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young, The Black Keys, Florence and the Machine, Jack White and many more played at this festival. Good thing was that many of these performances were actually broadcasted live so even if you weren't there, you could watch some great artists perform.

Canadian indie rock band called Metric also played this festival. Band that recently released their fifth studio record entitled Synthetica is quite good life and their performance at ACL was no exception (it was broadcasted live as well) . This is shot of Emily Haines, singer of the band, from this festival:
