Joe Fletcher & Deer Tick - Jack on Fire (Gun Club cover)
All sorts of awesome.
Rhode Island’s finest.
Well hello Joe Fletcher! Had never heard of him till 5 minutes ago. The band is Joe Fletcher and The Wrong Reasons (here he is with Deer Tick). They’re originally from Rhode Island. They played at SXSW this year and are going to be at the Newport Folk Festival. He has an amazing voice. Their sound reminds me of the Avett Brothers. They would be a blast to see live this summer! Hope I get to!

Our vocalist did an acoustic cover of “California Gurls”. Enjoy
Thank you for following! I love your acoustic version so much better! Look forward to hearing more from you guys! ( I only have about 58 people following me on twitter, but I will tweet the shit out of this song anyway!) -J
In addition to their recently announced tour throughout the UK and Europe The xx have decided to include a number of select North American dates on their forthcoming summer trek. Evidently showcasing new material from their expected sophomore album, the group will start their stateside leg this July. (via The xx Announce North American Tour | Under The Radar)

Spank by The Naked And Famous
There is not a song on this album that I don’t like. I was running to Spank this morning, so really took the time to focus and listen to the lyrics. They crawled into my mind and I can’t stop replaying them over and over….
I have nothing more
Than the basic functions
I am running from
I curl up and wallow
My distortion
Everything is disproportioned
Suddenly I wake
Everything is closer
Morning is the same
And I can’t hear it
It’s way out of mind
I will just forget this
‘til next time”
