Afghan Raiders Remix The Faint - Mirror Error

afghan-raiders-live

I was jumping up and down like an excited schoolgirl when I saw that the Afghan Raiders were featured on Spin.com.  This was amazing on 2 accounts:

1. I’m not a schoolgirl, yet I could mimic the jumping capability of one perfectly. I am trying to figure out what I should do with this new found talent.

2. It’s great to see these guys getting the press they deserve after busting their asses in the studio and on the road.

If you’ve never heard the Afghan Raiders, it is about time that you do. Their tracks are pure electro-thrash with pulsating beats that blend perfectly with Mikey Francis’ distorted vocals. Beans and Mikey do their best to make sure that you know they are not DJ’s, and they make this quite apparent during their live sets that are sure to scorch your eyebrows off. Give a listen to the Afghan Raiders track below which remixes The Faint’s Mirror Error.

Junior Boys Stream Begone Dull Care

If you like Canadian music with lots of synth beeps, blips and bops, than I’ve got something for you! Junior Boys are releasing Begone Dull Care on April 7th, but thanks to the guys at Imeem, you are able to stream this album below. I’m not sure that you can have a wild free-for all kegger type listening party with your friends for this album, but you can definitely invite a few over for some Jenga, Rubik’s Cube battles and grape soda. I suggest this because that’s what I’m doing later on. Enjoy the free album stream below!
