Artist: Silverstein Album: Short Songs Genre: Hardcore Label: Hopeless Records Short Songs is an intriguing venture for well-established Canadian outfit Silverstein. Described as a “mini-album” and extension of their last full-length Rescue, it’s designed to give fans something to mull over until they record their next LP.

The unique selling point is, as the title suggests, the brevity of each song, with none running for longer than 90 seconds. It ...

Fonocast #8: Truly, Madly, Deeply by Blanca Méndez & Belén Plasencia In honor of Valentine's Day, we bring you a show full of love—enough to make even the most hopeless romantic want to puke. But isn't that what love should do? Maybe not induce nausea exactly, but tap into some really deep emotional and physical levels of yourself you didn't even know existed. We know that sounds kinda scary. And it is. Especially for those of us who like to be in control. But it's also one of the most amazing things you could ever experience ...

Hospitality Hospitality [Merge; 2012] by Nick RS Rating: With Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) , The Kinks built the ideal pop concept album by cannily constructing an entirely convincing post-colonial landscape out of a collage of musical idioms and cultural signifiers from across the Anglophone world. By layering tambourine and twanging guitars over hymnlike structures and juxtaposing kazoo with harpsichord, Ray Davies made scarcely 50 minutes of wax feel like it might contain centuries of world history. Indie pop crew Hospitality’s self-titled debut hints at that sort of thaumaturgy, although its subject — the directionless inanity ...

We noticed today that a lot of Hopeless Records (http://www.hopelessrecords.com) releases were absent from the Spotify database. After reaching out to the label, we can confirm they aren't anti-digital streaming; they merely made a switch in distribution partners, which has led to some gaps in...

Life is funny. Every day can be an adventure. You work hard all day and then you spend your nights and weekends pursuing your hobbies and passions. And it all seems to be pretty much the same ol’ thang… And then one day you meet a special someone. You date, fall in love, get married…and eventually the “kids question” comes up. You both agree the time is right and so you decide to “try.” And the next thing you know, she’s pregnant and your whole world is about to get turned upside down, inside out and be full ...

The Used will be releasing Vulnerable in March via Hopeless Records and Anger Music Group. You can read a full interview with Bert McCracken discussing the record here and a snippet of McCracken discussing the music and lyrical parts to the new album below by clicking “Read More.” You talked about beats and such, how would you say this record reflects upon the recent resurgence of electronic music as opposed to how bands such as Enter Shikari use it? I think that we’re approaching it a different way, we didn’t just make a bunch of beats or samples ...

We're just a few days away from kickoff from when [insert Google search] the New York Giants and New England Patriots rumble at the Super Bowl. We're not football fans around here so all we know about this Sunday is that there's going to be a ton of ads everyone will be talking about on Monday, the game seems like it's nine hours long due to the never-ending pregame programming, and the half-time show is always a hopeless disaster. So the only thing that will keep us mildly curious (and give us an excuse to eat ...
