Slam Donahue, “I Turn On”
Jul 23, 2012 12:01 AM by Staff
Slam Donahue is a pop band from Brooklyn, but with that said, you can dismiss most of your notions about what pop music is. In this case, we’re talking about undeniable, fun, contagiously danceable music that anyone would like.
“I Turn On” bounces with an infectious and organic excitement that’s reminiscent of The Black Kids, before everything went horribly wrong, and you’d be hard pressed not to make an MGMT reference on this one too (which is fine, because Slam Donahue is now on Cantora Records, the label that broke MGMT). And quite frankly, we could all use something like this right now. The track is off their upcoming EP Hemlock Tea which is out August 21.
If these guys keep making the right decisions, you’re guaranteed to be hearing a lot more from them. In the mean time, download “I Turn On” below.

In the six years that followed, Powter experienced the roller-coaster ride that comes with that kind of success.

Apr 23, 2012 12:41 PM by Will Durkin
In 2001, Daniel Bedingfield was catapulted to international music fame with his surprise smash hit “Gotta Get Thru This.” He followed that with a string of hits that had many critics naming him the next big thing in pop, but in 2004 his career stalled when he ran into troubles with his label. Now free of those issues, Bedingfield is back and ready for the spotlight.

In the midst of the Great Recession, Nick Drum and Jon McNeill did the unthinkable – they quit their jobs. Feeling tied down in their respective corporate environments, the two friends took a leap of faith and decide to follow their musical dreams. All it took was one jam session for them to realize that they had something special. Thus the Brave Chandeliers, a soulful power-pop antidote to the 9-5 daily grind, were born.
