Sleeper Agent - Your New Favorite Band

Recently while I was watching the new and improved "120 Minutes" on MTV2, they played a video for this new band called Sleeper Agent which you can watch below. The song is called 'Get It Daddy' and its awesome just like the music video for it. This band has a punky up beat sound. Kind of like my other favorite band "Be Your Own pet."

The five piece band is from Bowling Green, Kentucky and all are barely out of their teens. The lead singer Alex Kendel is 18 and came into the band when she was only 17. Apparently she asked to be in the band but they wouldn't let her in because she was still in high school, but after convincing them they finally let her join.

They already started a tour with the hit band "Cage The Elephant" and some energetic shows at 'South By South West.' Their debut album 'Celebrasion' came out August 16 and I've only heard here and there on Pandora but it sounds really catchy and something you can listen to everyday. You can find out more about them on their website here.

Dollyrots new EP "Arrested Youth"


The Dollyrots released a new EP today titled 'Arrested Youth.' The Track list includes "Playing With Fire", "Interaction", and "Free At Last."

You can watch the video for "Playing With Fire" below.

If you havn't heard of the Dollyrots then you have missed out. They have made three studio albums including 'Eat My Heart Out', 'Because I'm Awesome' and 'A Little Messed Up.'

They are made up of Lead singer and bass player Kelly Ogden, Guitar player Luis Cabezas and drummer Chris Black. They were formed in the year 2000 after their disappointment with the presidential election. "We were watching the 2000 presidential election results, and at four o'clock in the morning, when we found out that George W. Bush had won, Luis and I were like, "The world's probably gonna end anyway, and I don't want to go to med school," so we thought, "Let's just do the band," says Ogden. "So that's when it happened. We had no future anyways, so let's just be in a rock band!"

I've seen them live at the Troubadour back in February for my birthday and they were amazing. You can see a video of them live here..

Best Coast New Music Video "Our Deal"

I forgot to post this, but here is the new music video for Best Coast's song 'Our Deal.' The music video was directed by Drew Barrymore and stars Chloe Grace Mortez, Donald Glover, and Alia Shawkat.

Emily's Army Show @ The Roxy

Below I have a few videos from the show last night. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of them. I tried to get a picture with Cole but I guess he was too busy. They put on a pretty good show playing all the songs on their debut album "Don't Be A Dick" and some oldies like "Do You Wanna Dance." The band that opened up for them was called Fever Charm and they were pretty good. you can visit their page here. I got some videos of them playing with Travis (from emily's army) dancing on stage and their bass player slappin da bass. There were a lot of celebrities there too including Serena Williams and the dad from the show "Modern Family" and of course Billie Joe Armstrong with his wife Adrianne. The show was fun although not my favorite show of theirs. It was fun to sing a long and dance to all the songs I knew. They will be playing a show today at Dipizzas and then a tour along the east coast. I wrote a review for their debut album "Don't Be A Dick" here.
