Rollings Stone’s weekly “Hype Monitor” column always has quick doses of music recommendations in little information nuggets: the band, the buzz, listen if… and key track. In this week’s edition they’ve highlighted bay area’s Tempo No Tempo and Canada’s Dragonette.
What they have to say about TNT: “A nervy, worked-up band from San Francisco, Tempo No Tempo have been kicking around for nearly four years now, getting steadily better while remaining stubbornly under the radar. Their latest EP should change all that: blending hurtling dance rhythms with jabbing, elbowing post-punk guitars, the group takes a literal approach to the notion of ‘panic at the disco.’”
What they like about Dragonette: “Listen If: Your favorite artists of the last few years were Lykke Li and Ladyhawke, and you’re looking to complete your holy trilogy of perfectly pouty pop.”
