A few weeks ago we introduced you to a little band from Kansas called Queens Club. They’ve recently put out a new single called “Less Talk”. They’re new album, Young Giant, drops March 23 & if you manage to make it down to SXSW, check ‘em out! They’re playing the ATN Showcase @ the Bayou Lounge on March 19! We dig this song, what do you think?

Album Title: Waking the Dead

Bio: Places and Numbers is the new project from Bobby Darling, former guitarist for critically-acclaimed rockers Gatsbys American Dream. Recorded while traveling through Italy, WAKING THE DEAD is a welcoming blend of reverb-drenched effects and Darling’s engaging vocals. The finished product pulls musical influences from acts as diverse as the Postal Service, Talking Heads, the Strokes and Kanye West, and showcases a musician who’s finding new meaning in life through writing songs.

Album Title: Fun and Laughter EP & Some are Lakes
Featured Tracks: “May You Never” & “Some Are Lakes”
Record Label: Saddle-Creek
Website: www.myspace.com/landoftalk
Bio: Land of Talk arrive with Some Are Lakes, the much-anticipated debut full-length and their first recording for Saddle Creek. Led by singer/guitarist Elizabeth Powell, Some Are Lakes was recorded in the band’s hometown of Montreal with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and is the follow up to their acclaimed 2006 EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss (Rebel Group). Some Are Lakes continues to showcase Powell’s vocal convictions, which Time Out NY called “a voice that flits between come-hither and go-fuck-yourself.” Powell’s voice and roaring guitars take center-stage alongside bassist Chris McCarron and drummer Andrew Barr (The Slip). The album is born of an artistic sensibility that digs its heels into the present, and yet is entirely tied to the ashtray fumes of its past and the jet turbine whine of its future. Some Are Lakes is as much an album about where Land of Talk have been, and where they will be, as it can ever be about where they are now.

That’s right ladies & gents, our current favorite and last week’s download of the week, The Soft Pack will be playing the Sunday date of this years Coachella. Don’t miss your chance to see these kids play live. I had the opportunity to see them play in January during one of their 10 CD release shows across Los Angeles. They managed to blow me away while playing in someone’s garage in Venice. Awesome show, we suggest you don’t miss out on this one!

Album Title: Take It
Featured Tracks: “Take It From Me” & “Get Out”
Record Label: Unsigned
Website: http://myspace.com/thefederals
Bio: The Federals are a force to be reckoned with we reckon. “Take It From Me” is a rough edgy anthem in the making! Proper thrashy, rowdy, fuzziness. The earliest brattishness of The Who dragged helplessly kicking & screaming into the 21st Century!
