It's been a while since something has struck me as earnestly as this.

Louder Than Ever

I've got an inkling Cold War Kid's newly released Louder Than Ever will reach Kings-Of-Leon fame by the time their January-expected album is droped. CWK's vibe I've long compared to a mingling of Strokes-like riffs and Spoon's off-kilter vocals. Regardless, with Louder Than Ever CWK re-establishes itself as a band deserving merit all its own.

What's more, thanks to my good friend Erose I've been privy to Lykke Li's latest track Get Some. LL is back and catchier than ever with this decidedly aggressive release which, coupled with classic LL percussion sounds like the perfect track to keep you dancing through these cold, dark nights.
