Video of the Day #101: Hallelujah The Hills

I’ve been meaning to post this Hallelujah The Hills video Get Me In A Room for a while now. At first I thought it was just alright, but I keep on getting back to it and nowadays I think it’s damn good. There must be something very addictive about it. I can’t say I’m too familiar with this Boston-based indie rock group at this point. I only found Hallelujah The Hills few weeks back when Gregor from Captains Dead started praising their new album No One Knows What Happens Next on twitter (and that guy has a great taste in music). I finally downloaded the album a couple of hours ago and I’m really liking it so far.

Video of the Day #99: The Mastersons

It looks like I’ve missed something pretty amazing last month. I only saw this New West Records release on Glitterhouse’s website a couple of days ago and tonight I finally watched this video 1,2,3…7 times. I really love it. There’s something very Jayhawksian in the chorus and that is not a bad thing. The Mastersons are a married couple Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore from Brooklyn, NY (they are also part of Steve Earle & The Dukes and The Duchesses). New West released their debut album Birds Fly South on 10th of april and I need to get my hands on it sometime soon. This is the marvellous first single One Word More.

Video of the Day #98: Kurt Baker

Time for some power pop action. Last month Kurt Baker unveiled a new video Why You Gotta Lie from last year’s Rockin’ for a Living album/ep. Kurt is definitely one of the good guys. The man has a great taste in music and has covered artists/bands like Nerves, The Vapors, The Knack and Nick Lowe. And most importantly he is able to write great 70’s influenced rockin’ power pop songs that are catchy as hell and a whole lot of fun. This is Why You Gotta Lie.
