Hailing from Charleston, SC, Run Dan Run (@rundanrunband), have been writing, recording, and touring since 2006, gaining recognition along the way for the deep lyricism and varied instrumentation that pervades their music. After releasing two albums, 2006’s Basic Mechanics and 2009’s 27 Coming St. EP, the band sat down last summer to begin work on their newest full length due out in January of next year. Clearly the work of a band more secure with their sound, Normal explores darker lyrical subjects and focuses on more lush song structures. [READ ON]

ARCHES OFFERING UP THE SOUNDS OF ACID-DOSED HIBERNATION [FREE MP3]

540 days ago by Ben Anshutz

Simply by virtue of the fact that it’s both a debut and concept album, Wide Awake, the first release from Philadelphia’s Arches, is truly a bold first move and well-deserving of critical acclaim. Throughout the release, Arches deliver a sweet spot between grooving darkness and sparkling lightness that will inevitably draw some comparisons to the psych-stylings of The Morning Benders. The album’s lead-off single, “This Isn’t A Good Night For Walking”, feels distant and airy but has the instrumental confidence to boldly stand on its own. Think you’d enjoy what an acid-dosed Grizzly Bear might sound like after retreating into a cave for winter hibernation? If yes, then turn your ears toward Arches.

dodos 550x595 THE DODOS SHARE HOLIDAY TREAT [FREE MP3]

After watching The Dodos (@thedodos) absolutely kill it at a small, hole-in-the-wall venue in Ann Arbor, I have absolutely no doubt that this Bay Area band knows how to put on an awesome show. Set to appear this evening on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon”, The Dodos will be performing “Don’t Try And Hide It” with special guest Neko Case by their side. This track comes straight off of their most recent album, No Color, a record that displays intricate guitar picking, swelling drumbeats, and mesmerizing lyrical arrangements. In addition to treating us all to what is sure to be a stellar live performance, The Dodos are giving out the unreleased track, “So Cold”. With a swift click of your mouse and the simple entry of your email address, this song can be in your possession. Indulge and enjoy!

This October we were treated to a visit from fellow New Yorkers, The Postelles. After a short trip across the East River to our Ditmas Park, Brooklyn home studio, Daniel, David, Billy and John set up within the crazy web and glowing orbs we set up and played two tracks of their self-titled debut album. Watch “123 Stop” below and download MP3s of both that and “Hey Little Sister” even further down the page!

‘Honey I’m Home’ is a live session series made by The Wild Honey Pie. With each new episode, we welcome a different band into Sounds Like A Fire home studio in Brooklyn and record intimate versions of two or three songs which are given away for free.

SKI LODGE WARMED UP PIANOS ON FRIDAY NIGHT [PHOTOS]

IMG 2071 SKI LODGE WARMED UP PIANOS ON FRIDAY NIGHT [PHOTOS]

There’s truly nothing better than getting to see the artists you love in action. We were so proud to present a stellar lineup of up-and-coming bands last Friday at Pianos, and we can guarantee that you’ll be hearing much more from these groups in the near future.

Starting off last Friday night was the Brooklyn-based project of Lauren Zettler, Lightyear (@iamlightyear). With a sound resembling a harder, richer Feist and a more serious Regina Spektor, Zettler blended her tinkling ivories with electronic highlights and big beats, opening up the show on a high note.
