Indie foursome Vampire Weekend have broken their three-year silence with a double A-side single, “Step” and “Diane Young”. The pair of tracks act as the first taste of their upcoming album Modern Vampires of the City, which lead vocalist Ezra Koenig has described as “darker […]
If you took Katy Perry‘s “Teenage Dream“, put it through an Instagram filter and gave it a ’90s indie rock throwback makeover to sound literally nothing like the original, then you’d get Veronica Falls‘ similarly-titled “Teenage”. The song was one of two official singles released […]
The Colourist‘s “Little Games” sounds like a lot of songs on modern rock radio. If you threw it on a playlist with Grouplove, Young The Giant or Two Door Cinema Club, nobody would bother to blink an eyelash over the transition. It’s upbeat, catchy as fuck […]
It’s a solemn morning here at Manhunt headquarters, so I’ve postponed my Justin Timberlake listening party to wallow in the doldrums and reflect on the fragility of life. Yikes! I’m sorry if that introduction was a boner-kill. It’s just, well, difficult to jump from such tragic […]

Scottish indie fivesome Frightened Rabbit released their fifth full-length album Pedestrian Verse last month, and so far, it’s taken a place as one of my favorite releases of the year (right next to Tegan & Sara‘s Heartthrob, Ra Ra Riot‘s Beta Love and Woodpigeon‘s Thumbtacks […]
Canadian duo In Dreams could have a hit on their hands with “Crazy Enough”, if anyone ever bothered to listen. The addictive, high-energy pop tune’s been around for nine months now, and I’ve yet to hear it playing on the radio, getting mixed into DJ […]
Life is hard! As much as I wish I could reach through each of your screens and personally give you a shoulder rub, the best I can do is heal your woes with the power of pop music and naked dudes. The week has brought […]
