• POP ETC. Shares New Song "Running In Circles," Announces New Album [LISTEN]

    Brooklyn-via-Berkeley indie rock group POP ETC (formerly the Morning Benders) have shared a new track titled "Running in Circles," which you can check out here. According to Stereogum, the track is the first to be shared from POP ETC's upcoming studio album, which is set for release later this year. Keeping up with the recent indie rock trend of paying homage to mainstream '80s rock artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, and Tom Petty (see: The War On Drugs, Ryan Adams), "Running In Circles" is a dancey, synth-heavy track that could easily be spun in a club, with a chorus that could legitimately be mistaken for a top 10 hit from 1985.

    Avicii has had a restful end of 2014 after taking the last few months of the year off to recuperate from lingering health issues. This has given the Swedish superstar producer plenty of time to work in the studio and make new music. He is working on the follow up album to his 2013 album True, titled Stories and has given us a peak at what the Avicii brain trust has been creating over the past few months with several different releases. One of those releases, "The Nights", which was included on the FIFA '15, just got a remix by Avicii, as he continues the trend of remixing himself.

  • Rich Homie Quan Shares New Song 'Flex' [LISTEN]

    Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan has shared a new track titled "Flex," which you can check out below. The track was produced by Nitti Beatz and DJ Spinz and is backed by a pretty excellent electro beat, like a darker and more atmospheric version of Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." Quan's performance is not bad either, often veering into — Auto-Tuned, of course — singing as much as straight-up rapping.You can check out Rich Homie Quan's "Flex" here, via "Miss Info":
