It's time to get your good time indie-rock on thanks to Fang Island and their new tune, "Asunder."

This is the first official track from the trio's forthcoming new album, Major, and it’s almost four and a half minutes of rolling drums, overdriven guitars and anthematic vocals. You can download the rocker track, guitar solos and all, via the soundcloud below.

The brothers recruited Dan Auerbach (of the Black Keys) on the new EP and you can certainly hear a bigger approach to the band's music on "Sixpack." Check it out below and check out JEFF The Brotherhood's upcoming U.S. tourdates.

Jersey's Screaming Females recently took a trip to the A.V. Club offices to record a cover for the company's Undercover 2012 series: Sheryl Crow's classic "If It Makes You Happy." Although this song was not a part of A.V. Club's original list, they decided to include it as a bonus track.

The band jovially described Sheryl Crow as an artist they can all agree upon, and singer Marissa Patenoster described the song as "a rocker." Watch the band's take on "If It Makes You Happy" below.

The Tallest Man On Earth has finally released a peek at his new album, There's No Leaving Now, with the song "1904."

The album's first single does channel Kristian Matsson's folk influences, but it shows his personal growth as well. Not only does "1904" feature his commanding voice and talent for fingerpicking, it is an indicator at how Matsson is embracing his own style. And judging by this song alone, we're betting on There's No Leaving Now being one of the best albums of his career. We certainly can't wait to hear more.

There’s No Leaving Now will be released on June 12 via Dead Oceans. Check out the album's tracklist below.

Norwegian experimental indie-rock group, The Megaphonic Thrift have just released their video for "Fire Walk With Everyone". Directed by Mona Fastvold, (wife of Sondre Lerche) the video will have you running with dogs, walking with foxes, and dancing with witches in a psychedelic, ceremonial journey.

"Fire Walk With Everyone" comes from the band's second, self-titled album released within a one year span. The band also has a new 7" Moonstruck available here. Check out the video below. 

It's not very often that we at FILTER feature punk rock bands. But when it's a girl fronted group oozing with high-energy, we can't just pass up the opportunity for a premiere!



Canadian rockers, White Lung, will be releasing their new album, Sorry, later this month and today, we get to premiere their new video for "Take the Mirror." Clocking in at just less than 2 minutes, the black and white clip was shot on a Canon 7D and it features a whole lot of thrashing and strobe lights. A pretty standard punk video if you ask us.

"Take the Mirror" is off White Lung's forthcoming LP, Sorry, which arrives May 29 via Derranged Records.

Watch the video below and check out White Lungs tour dates with Wax Idols and Ceremony.

Former Brad bassist, Jeremy Toback, Eels drummer, Butch Norton and Everest guitarist, Joel Graves, have joined forces to form a new group called Chop Love Carry Fire. The guys decided that rather than introduce themselves with any old video, they would create an intense stop-motion clip that could quite possibly haunt your dreams.

The video for "Save" was produced and directed by Shipmate Title, a Los Angeles-based animation company that dedicated seven weeks to building and filming this one-of-a-kind clip. The mixture of mellow and mid-tempo music and slightly out of this world images makes the video for "Save" a hard one to forget.

Watch "Save" below and check out Chop Love Carry Fire's self-titled EP right here.

Florence + the Machine have decided to lend her vocals to a new tune recorded for the forthcoming thriller, Snow White And The Huntsman.
