Dave Paulson “Six Months in a Leaky Boat (Split Enz)”

With just a few days left in this campaign to turn The Privates into a movie (sort of), all the stops are being pulled out. For instance, Dave Paulson posted this cover of the Split Enz classic “Six Months in a Leaky Boat” to Soundcloud to remind you that the campaign exists and that, frankly, you […]

ELEL – “Let’s Dance” (David Bowie)

I’ll be honest, this cover of “Let’s Dance” is surprisingly subdued in comparison to what I expected an ELEL cover of “Let’s Dance” to sound. That being said, it’s a tasteful take on the song that builds quite nicely over time. Feels good to be surprised sometimes.

All Them Witches “Open Passageways”

The official video for “Open Passageways” (off of Dying Surfer Meets His Maker) is a hand drawn journey of some alien protaganist, traveling through a dark world. It actually matches the overall vibe of All Them Witches incredibly well – it’s dark and foreign while being intimate and personal at the same time. It’s also a […]

Take Back Life from Cancer While 99% of posts here on We Own This Town are focused on new music and events around town, it is occasionally appropriate to step back and remember that our community is made up of people. And sometimes those people have cancer. Candice Ferguson is one such individual. She once […]

The By Gods “Miss It”

The newest video from Get On Feelings is actually one of my favorite tracks from the album. The desperation in the vocals is exactly what 15-year old me would have connected with back in the good ole grunge days. Oh, and the projection performance is pretty badass too.

POLY “Fishin”

The first full-length record from POLY is entitled Let’s Have an Adventure and will be released on March 26th; along with a record release celebration at Club Roar. You can listen to the first preview from the record, Fishin’, at the soundcloud above. Full disclaimer: my label YK Records is responsible for both the POLY […]

Photo Ops “Memories That Glow”

When watching the new Photo Ops video you have two choices. One, lament the warmer days that are behind us and reflect upon the chilly present that we’re current imprisoned in. Two, use it as an excuse to get excited about the warmth and carefree days that lay ahead. Yea, do that second one. (Source: […]

Tower Defense - “History”

Tower Defense have released the first preview track off their forthcoming EP, Stay Inside. The five-song undertaking will be available March 25th but, more importantly, it’s quite a barn burner. I’ve had a fondness for their previous album, Mind the Menagerie, for some time and this sounds like a promising followup.

Regatta – EP

You’ve may have seen this solo project from ONLY guitarist Evan Hickman mentioned over on The Cream but if you haven’t taken the time to dive into it yet, take a moment now to immerse yourself. The jangly reverb guitar is reminiscent of plenty of 80′s era indie and pop outfits, even the production feels […]

El El “Kiss Kiss” – Official Video

The official video for El El’s “Kiss Kiss” was JUST released and it’s quite the celebration. If you like seeing people lose their minds, this is the video for you. Kudos to the whole crowd, some seriously well executed freakouts here. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
