"Fans of Oasis, The Verve, and The Stone Roses take note. Lowline is the latest Manchester buzz band making beautiful noise. On Outside, the four-piece offers a mélange of slightly sneering vocals, occasional primal howls, and a wall of droney guitars for a rocking, psychedelic blast." -- iTunes Store
"These dapper gents make the concept of paralysis by analysis sound smoother than linoleum. Black & White starts as a piano ballad brushed with falsetto crooning and then becomes a rollercoaster ride — much like a romantic relationship, the focus of this soul-pop jam sprinkled with disco rhythms. The slow-then-fast see-saw hits a jazzy stride with a string-accented breakdown that'll make you want to get up and get on down." -- iTunes Store
"Herencia de Timbiqui is a many-peopled collective of musicians and singers who hail from a town of the same name on Colombia's Pacific coast, a place steeped in an exceptionally rich Afrocentric musical tradition. Y Que? sparkles with the plinking of marimbas, reminiscent of the shrill cries of tropical birds, as a clutch of electric guitars crank out their rock riffs and a brassy horn section bleats in time." -- iTunes Store
"When Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer), two young attorneys with a no-holds-barred courtroom style, are hired by Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell), life at his buttoned-down law firm will never be the same. Working with their equally oddball staff – researcher Pindar Singh (Kumail Nanjiani) and paralegal Carmen Phillips (Dana Davis) – Franklin and Bash shake things up at the firm with their audacious tactics and immediately find an enemy in its star lawyer, Infeld’s nephew Damien Karp (Reed Diamond). While the sexual tension between Jared and senior partner Hanna Linden (Garcelle Beauvais) boils over as Peter is breaking up with his longtime girlfriend, prosecutor Janie Ross (Claire Coffee), they continue fighting for the underdogs and ne’er-do-wells as they learn to swim with the sharks in the world of high stakes corporate law." -- iTunes Store
"Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) is an attractive and brilliant Chicago homicide detective with a reputation for being difficult. When his captain wrongfully accuses him of sleeping with his wife, Jim is forced to relocate, landing in the sleepy, middle-of-nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, where sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is at a minimum. But lazy days give way to big city drama when murders begin to pile up around town, pulling Jim off the golf course and on the case as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge. In its first season, The Glades became the most-watched drama series in network history. In the season two premiere, the daughter of a notorious Cuban mobster turns up dead in a Little Havana alley, and Longworth and the rest of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement must solve her murder to prevent an all-out war between two rival mob families.

"The Maenadian reign of terror may be over, but Sookie Stackhouse and the townspeople of Bon Temps face a new calamity—ushered in by a pack of vicious, blood-sucking werewolves—that makes the bacchanalian evil of Maryanne Forrester seem tame by comparison. Welcome to Season Three of True Blood, the smash-hit HBO series based on the novels by Charlaine Harris. As Season Three opens, Sookie—a waitress with telepathic gifts—tries to determine the whereabouts of her vampire-fiance Bill Compton who went missing in the Season Two finale.

"Imagine being trapped in a surreal afterlife where you’re caught between the living and the dead — where a mysterious, violent angel is trying to pull you over to somewhere. What do you do?" -- iTunes Store
"Foster the People tested the waters earlier this year when alternative rock radio stations picked up “Pumped Up Kicks” en masse. The next single, Helena Beat, joins the hit parade. It’s a blessed confluence of sounds — pop tempos, sparkly synth-based alt rock, a trance-y break, handclaps, and a serious Beach Boys jones — fronted by Mark Foster’s high-pitched vocals. Think OMD produced by Ric Ocasek, or MGMT and Miike Snow goofing around in the garage. Whatever the equation, just know there isn't a high-enough volume level for this one. “Helena Beat” appears on the band’s debut album, Torches." -- iTunes Store
"Christian rapper Tedashii (or Tdot) raps so hard about spiritual bankruptcy that he’s got Old Scratch shook. Riot is a harsh critique of life lived without a moral compass — set to a mashing, thrashing, electro-tinged hip-hop beat. A member of the 116 Clique, Tedashii starts a Riot with his third album, Blacklight." -- iTunes Store
"Argentine drummer Adrian Sosa is known for his work with the electronic tango collective Bajofondo and has produced Flor and Liquits. Cahuenga is Sosa’s latest project. Working as a one-man orchestra, he’s created the kind of progressive Latin alternative track that fans of Jorge Drexler and Julieta Venegas would dig. Psychedelic vocals, heavily processed guitar chords, and a crescendo of symphonic strings come together as the melodious mélange, Nada." -- iTunes Store
"South London rapper Tinie Tempah has his own vision of what the future of hip-hop holds: a diasporic perspective, a shiny electro finish, and a whole lot of pop song-craft, making him the British answer to Atlanta’s B.o.B. With an ethereal vocal assist from Ellie Goulding and electronic strings dialing up the energy, Wonderman leaps over tall building blocks of boom-bap in a single bound." -- iTunes Store
"Get real with killer sharks and dinosaurs, vengeful gladiators and pirates, and an unsinkable ship that did just that." -- iTunes Store

"The Electric Barbarellas are five girls just trying to get their stuff together. Yes, they sing. And they dance. And of course, they are sexy. But that’s where the similarities to other girl groups end. Because for every 2 steps forward they take, they take 3 back. 
"Can behaviorist Jackson Galaxy help save a newly engaged couple from having to choose between their relationship and their cat, or help with a territorial cat that is turning a new move into a nightmare?

"One of the tattoos gracing Christina Perri’s arm reads “To thine own self be true.” The singer/songwriter has used the Shakespeare quote (from Hamlet) as her personal mantra. By shaking off trends and absorbing her influences (from Dean Martin to Fiona Apple to Florence & The Machine), Perri is a romantic warrior slogging across love’s battlefield, an acoustic guitar strapped to her back. Bluebird is her recon mission, investigating how a broken heart gets back together after it’s torn apart. Christina Perri, you’re cleared for takeoff. Bluebird appears on her debut album, Lovestrong." -- iTunes Store
"These U.K. Beasts flaunt theatrical flair on Bed of Nails, featured on their latest album, Smother. New wave–style production — which sounds especially full and kinetic thanks to drumming that pans left to right — swathes Hayden Thorpe’s dramatic, almost operatic vocal delivery. His poetic verses convey a sense of pained romantic attraction (with allusions to the works of Shakespeare and Mary Shelley), and the haunting, cooed harmonies bolster the beautiful yet slightly unnerving vibe. It’s like a somewhat cryptic short story that we enjoy picking up again and again." -- iTunes Store
"Music is a powerful component of worship, but even more so if it comes with arena-filling arrangements and throaty lead vocals that would appeal to fans of Coldplay, Muse, and The Killers. Abandon specializes in exactly this kind of sound. Its latest single, Feel It In Your Heart, has roots in alternative rock, but its message has a spiritual perspective: “Oh you can turn it up as loud as it will go/But it will never make its way to your soul/until you feel it in your heart.” Amen!" -- iTunes Store
"If you witnessed the live version of Owl City anytime over the past few years, you may have caught Breanne Düren on stage, working magic on backing vocals and keyboards for Adam Young's synth-pop project. On her own, Düren has created a singular mixture of '50s pop minimalism, '60s girl groups, and 21st century radio-ready pop with her own quirks that come through in the spirited, endearing vocals." -- iTunes Store
"La Vida Bohéme manage to conjure up the best parts of every cool, guitar-based band of the past three decades in just over four minutes. The band's pulsating, disco-inspired grooves (and rampant cowbell) call to mind LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture, while gang-land vocals do service to The Clash and the lyrical chant of "Gabba Gabba Hey" is a direct grab from NY's finest, The Ramones." -- iTunes Store
