Available 8/11 – 8/18 – Tallest Trees “Skinny Little Wrists”
When you hear that a band hails from Nashville you probably assume they’ll be singing about how their boyfriend/girlfriend left them, accompanied by fiddle and pedal steel. Well, not Tallest Trees (though they did record their upcoming debut album, The Ostrich or the Lark, in a log cabin). Mixing electronic elements with stabbing guitars and ethereal harmonies, the Trees’ Thomas Samuel and Dabney Morris build dreamy anthems that are the perfect soundtrack to lying in a hammock or riding home after a long day at the beach. Download the new single “Skinny Little Wrists” and the daydreams begin.
Roxy’s Own Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) ,19 , has once again secured a solid result as she continues her highly consistent year on tour. Spectators cheered her on as she charged through heat after heat collecting high scores and 1st’s all the way up to the Final. Unfortunately the Final was held in less then desirable conditions and Sally took her only 2nd place of the comp in the her last heat of the week- the one on one final with US open winner Carissa Moore (HI) , 17. “It was a really tough Final and there wasn’t much opportunity to open up,” Fitzgibbons said. “I had a really good time here at the US Open and second place is awesome so I’ll just take it and move on to the next event.” Sally is ultra fired up for her next event and as ready and focused as an athlete can be. Be sure to follow up on Sally and what she’s up to next at http://www.sallyfitzgibbons.com/
Bethany Costentino of Best Coast sings about the same classic subjects that pop stars do – wanting a boyfriend, how another girl might be prettier than her, how her boyfriend is kind of a letdown – but she does it with a sunny, low-fi sound that is uniquely Californian and nowhere near contemporary. The sound? Think dreamy harmonies and moody backing tracks that could almost be mistaken for Beach Boys outtakes. Best Coast’s debut, Crazy for You, will be released on July 27th on Mexican Summer Records. It features 12 songs about romance and the beach, and it’s destined to be a record that defines your summer. Check it out!
Sally Fitzgibbons finished first in her heat, and will face off against Jacqueline Silva in the semi-finals.
Here are the results:

We’ll just come right out and say it: Roxy hearts Cut Copy. As longtime fans of this Aussie electro-rock trio, we’re thrilled to bring you the new track “Where I’m Going” from their upcoming, as-yet-untitled album, which won’t be out until January. This track is being given away in conjunction with the band’s international tour of giant summer festivals (which includes a stop at Lollapalooza in Chicago), and while it’s not quite as dancefloor-ready as some of their earlier songs, it still sounds pretty delicious. Pounding drums? Check. Sweet harmonies? Check. Total awesomeness? Check! We can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. Use the widget below to download your free track!

Available 7/28 – 8/4 – Admiral Radley “Ghosts of Syllables”
After a few years of being friends – and a few drinks at lunch – Jason Lytle and Aaron Burtch of Grandaddy, and Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray of Earlimart, decided to join forces to become Admiral Radley, a bonafide indie rock supergroup, albeit one that’s a lot more subtle, snarky and humble than most star-studded combos. Formed between the beaches and museums of Southern California, yet heavily influenced by its members’ roots in the Central Valley towns of Modesto and Fresno, “AdRad” creates skewed indie pop that’s smart, funny and as majestic as the crashing surf. Their debut album, I Heart California, was just released on their own label. Download the single “Ghosts of Syllables” and hear what all the fuss is about!
