“Two Times” is the first video/single to be taken from Kid Karate’s upcoming debut album, Night Terrors. The video, shot in Darndale, Dublin by Jamie and Keith (whose other credits include the Mmoths video for Heart) creates a perfect visual representation of the band’s thunderous sound.
Kid Karate is a two-piece band from Dublin. The pair’s music is gritty, raw and brutal; dwelling somewhere between the fuzzy blues of The Black Keys, the danceability of The Rapture and the aggression of Queens of the Stone Age.
The band’s musical aesthetic is based around Breen’s thunderous guitar-work and atypical howl, and Gannon’s primal drumming style. These elements combined enable the pair to create music that is catchy and intoxicating. Kid Karate make more noise than two people should.

Our favorite Plastic Flowers are back (again!) with a new song, “In You I’m Lost”, an acoustic number recorded by senselens while the band was recording their next release, which means we’ll hopefully get to listen to a proper full length by our Greek friends in the new year. The new song is somewhat even quieter than their latest output (cassettes still available on Cakes and Tapes!), a perfect fit for your cold Autumn.
You can grab the MP3 for free here.

I’ve posted about Will Samson before and I’m still so excited about his new album, Balance that I felt the need to post about him again. The video for “Eat Sleep Travel, Repeat”, made by Trunk Films, was shot somewhere in Portugal during a surf trip and it radiates so many tranquility rays that it seems like the song was made to fit the video and not the other way around. So good that our tourism department should buy the video and stick a “Visit Portugal” logo all over it. Think about that.
