Teenage Tide by Letting Up Despite Great Faults was featured in the CW’s 90210. In the episode “Mama Can You Hear Me?” The song is playing while Dixon & Austin are egging & TP-ing Holly’s house. Then Naomi & Holly help Mitchell walk the carpet for the after party. As someone who doesn’t watch 90210, this means little to me, but perhaps you will understand the previous sentence better than I do.

Old Flame’s own Lost Boy, aka Davey Jones, guests on the latest episode of MTV’s Weird Vibes. Watch the episode that features Twin Sister, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Oberhofer, Brothertiger, Porcelain Raft and more or skip to the 34:45 mark to see Davey make his guest appearance.

Come out to Big Snow Buffalo Lodge in Bushwick to see Shark?, Life Size Maps, I’m Turning Into, and The Great American Canyon Band.

It will be fun.

Tribes are an ambitious young band with outstanding songs that love the rock’n'roll lifestyle. Tribes have begun to buzz in the UK and Europe, and we hope that follows suit soon in the US. From their humble origins (where one member stole another’s wallet), to Black Francis getting a demo and seeing one show and inviting them to open for the Pixies. Tribes will be a part of the NME Awards Tour in the UK in February, with Two Door Cinema Club, Metronomy, and Azealia Banks. You can order their 10 Inch We Were Children EP here.

Click here to watch the clip of Lost Boy and Rob of Old Flame talking about why cassette tapes are still relevant.

The Mercury’s Ned Lannamann said that he “keeps listening to Turf War’s debut album, Years of Living Dangerously, over and over again without really meaning to. I think I got addicted to it. And for good reason: It’s a terrific, hooky record that gets by on attitude more than anything else; the word that invariably comes up in Turf War’s press releases is “rowdy.” Rowdy, yes, but but it certainly doesn’t sound sloppy—these songs are tight little kernels of rock ‘n’ roll that urge you to, quick, learn the melody and memorize the words so you can sing along already. The Atlanta band—and, yeah, I suppose that press picture isn’t gonna do them any favors—cuts right down to the bone of what makes music fun. I find myself referring to the Replacements when I’ve mentioned Turf War to friends.”

Thanks Ned. You’ll probably like Turf War too. Give them a spin.
