![NIGHT PANTHERS CATCHY NEW SINGLE [FREE MP3]](http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Night-Panther.jpeg "Night Panther")
After jamming to Night Panther’s (@nightpantherusa) tunes, it’s not difficult to understand why they classify themselves as “Sex Pop.” Catchy, Motown-like harmonies, energetic bass lines, and strong beats make resisting the urge to dance almost impossible. Without a hint of self-consciousness, the Pennsylvania duo, consisting of Farzad Houshiarnejad [READ ON]

Im seriously beginning to think there’s something magic in the waters of Scandinavia. That, or crafting fantastic music has become a part of the nordic national curriculum. For a while now, the colder climates of Europe have been leading the charge when it comes to icy cool pop sounds. Sweden’s latest export is Niki and the Dove (@nikiandthedove), a duo [READ ON]

I tend to get frustrated when I hear people talking about how “they just don’t make music like they used to.” Whether these people are referring to the days of Simon & Garfunkel or those of Bach, I’m really not sure, but something [READ ON]

During one of his recent stopovers in New York while on tour with Fiona Apple, we had the pleasure of having the very busy Blake Mills down to our Ditmas Park home studio. As a summer storm rolled in, Blake set up with just his acoustic guitar, and blew us away with a fantastic performance of “It’ll All Work Out” and a new song called “Don’t Tell Your Friends About Me”.
The room, which we cleared out save for a vintage General Electric TV, served as a sparse and simple space in which to showcase Blake’s earnest and beautiful songs. The thunderstorm, which I was worried was going to be a major problem, ended up complimenting “It’ll All Work Out” incredibly well. Watch both below and snag the free downloads under the videos.

For a festival that tries to be all things for all people, Outside Lands comes pretty close to hitting the mark. Sure, the food is overpriced and for the most part sub-par (although Wine Lands was a very good time), and I’m not entirely sure who found the time to check out the comedy shows, but when it comes to music (which was the point after all), this [READ ON]
