Los Angeles-based band Dear Boy will release their sophomore EP Parts Of A Flower on August 5, 2016 via Easy Hell. Today the band shared their new single “Alluria” with Consequence Of Sound. Dear Boy’s Ben Grey told CoS, “While we were recording this song, I can’t remember who it was, but somebody in the control room said that it sounded like if The Cure had written ‘American Girl’,” He adds, “After that, we all kinda quietly decided that that was what we were going for the whole time. I wanted to classify a really specific feeling. There’s a special brand of displacement that only love does to you and it’s not always the healthiest thing. The word/name Alluria was just haunting me for weeks and I didn’t know what it meant until we started writing it.”

Crobot debut new song
Crobot are pleased to unveil their latest song off their new record, “Welcome to Fat City” premiering exclusively on Consequence of Sound. “‘Welcome to Fat City, the title track from our latest album, sets precedent for the groove-laden riffage that takes place throughout the album,” frontman Brandon Yeagley explained to Consequence of Sound. “Inspired by Hunter S Thompson’s campaign for Sheriff of Aspen, Fat City is a planet of sanctuary for the scum of the universe and cigar-smoking big wigs Hunter hoped to keep out of his fine city. Instead, we welcome them with open arms ’cause down here, it’s always gritty. Step right up Beardos and Welcome to Fat City!”

LEAF “MONEY (TROYBOI REMIX)”
London producer TroyBoi flipped the beat world upside down with awesomely wonky original tracks, collabs with Flosstradamus and Diplo, and official remixes that have blasted pop royalty from Missy Elliot to Zayn into outer space.
This fall Imperial State Electric are back with their new album: “All Through The Night”.
The band, with Nicke Andersson as its driving force, has toured constantly since the release of last years critically acclaimed “Honk Machine” (August 2015), and the expectations for this autumns release are set sky high.
The limited time period between “Honk Machine” and “All Through The Night” poses the question, and rightly so, how has the band found time and creativity to record yet another album? Nicke’s answer is clear: “We play rock ‘n’ roll music, if it takes four years to make a rock ‘n’ roll record then you have most likely over analysed an art form that is more about gut instinct. It should feel and this record feels good.”
