Hey Champ has released a new video for their track "Silver City". The track comes from their recent ep Anything At All.

Moon Furries are a mission with a solid cause behind it. The band is almost a third of the way through a 100 shows in a 100 days tour this summer. They are doing this to help support cancer research because one of the band member’s mother is currently battling cancer.

Moon Furries released their latest ep Mercury back in January and you can pay what you like for it here. Moon Furries will be performing at Obbity Fest on July 3rd along with many other great local bands.

Phillip-Michael Scales of Briar Rabbit is not only a talented musician with a tremendous voice, but he is also quite intelligent especially when it comes to how to convert a bus into a veggie oil bus. Check out his video and support him in this eco-friendly project.

The new ep from a band I’ve been following for a while is perhaps their most delevloped and danceable product to date. Wishing You Whatever’s Best is a well produced five track gem from Russel Baylin, Sarah Snow, and My My My. The ep kicks off with "Hard Kisses" and firmly puts the listener in and world late of eighties pop glory. The ep is filled with snyths, effects, and tons of dance tracks. The second track, "24 Hour Love Affair" keeps pace and delivers a great sing-a-long chorus. I love the interplay between Baylin and Snow and the feeling that I should be hanging at a mall in line for Duran Duran tickets. My favorite track on the album is the most electronic and is called "Middle Age Hardware and Youthful Indiscretions". The track is alive with rock and technology. The ep is filled with dance floor ready tracks that are perfect for this summer heat.

The ep will be released on June 28th, and the band will be performing in July 1st at Beat Kitchen.

Our first band of the month, Color Radio, is currently on tour supporting their new album Architects. However, they were kind enough to answer a few of our questions. You can read the interview here.

I’ve long felt that Wolf In A Spacesuit has not received the attention they deserve. It was great to see them on Living Room Songs this week.

The latest video from Backstage Chicago features The Uma Thurmans performing at The Mutiny.

Jason Ajemian & the HighLife announced the details of their new album Riding The Light Into The Birds Eye yesterday. The album will be released on August 9th through Sundmagi, and will feature eight new tracks including "Bliss Is This" below. Ajemian is a long-time member of Chicago’s improvastional jazz scene, and has applied just enough structure and guidance to allow the band to lay down some incredible tracks.

The band is releasing a series of interesting videos in advance of this release that may or may not have anything to do with anything.
