Last Good Tooth, ‘What’s What I Do’ – Free MP3 Download
Rural bands often have a bit of the woods in them. Hudson Valley's own Last Good Tooth certainly fit this description. Their latest single, 'What's What I Do,' follows an odd meter, has an odd name and whispers like the wind through the lush foliage of the Northeast. Thankfully, the band's folky stylings proved unique enough to win the favor of Team Love records, which put out their debut record,
Bear Language, ‘Rememory’ – Exclusive Album Premiere
Bear Language are doing an excellent job resisting the current trends in indie rock. Instead of slow jams and walls of reverb, the Boston trio has opted for walloping bass lines, distortion-heavy vocals and a real emphasis on melody.

Governors Ball Day 2 Recap: Icona Pop, Dirty Projectors, Kings of Leon + More Rock the Muddy Masses
Upon returning to Governors Ball for day two, Diffuser.fm experienced a blissful moment of true festival-ness. After going through the gates and descending the initial hill, we gazed upon a field that had seen better days. A soft layer of mud a foot deep covered acres of concert grounds. People were trudging about, careful not to fall into the soup just as Icona Pop was playing their hit 'I Love I
Governors Ball Day 1 Recap: Dinosaur Jr., Best Coast Rock Before Storm Forces Cancellation
It wasn’t ideal, but it happened anyway. The first day of the newly rebranded Governors Ball, which takes place on Randall’s Island in New York City, came face to face with remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea yesterday (June 7). The many fields where the urban festival is taking place were totally awash as brave concertgoers trudged through the mud, some barefoot, some in Chucks. Not ideal, but yet,
