More great new music for you!

Today we’re bringing you, courtesy of the Adrenaline Music Group, The Pink Spiders! These guys have been cranking out some cool tunes and now they’ve got a brand new one we were lucky enough to get our hands on: Gimme Chemicals. This is a nice catchy tune with a nice beat, some nice hooks and a heck of a good tune.

You might have heard these guys on Hell’s Kitchen (with their tune Seventeen Candles) and you will certainly hear them here on Radio Free David. And, these guys are out on tour right now–be sure to catch them as they swing through your town!

As always,
Enjoy!

We’re delighted to be running brand new, as in really brand new not yet released, music for you today! We’re adding in a great cut by Black Tie Dynasty: Cruel Canopy from their new Down Like Anyone album.

Black Tie Dynasty comes to us from Fort Worth, Texas, and they’ve been putting together some great tunes for a while now. This release certainly doesn’t disappoint and the cut we’re running certainly stands out. It’s got a great rhythm and beat and you will certainly notice this one. This may be brand new, but we’re going to play this for a long time, that’s for sure.

As always,
Enjoy!

We’re keeping up the string of really great music for you!

Today is Marya Roxx and yeah, she Rocks. Big time. She’s got this neat EP out, 21 ?! with the single of, oddly enough, 21 ?!. And we’re running it for you. How can we not? We think that this launch in her solo career (formally she played for Vanilla Ninja) is just that: a launch. We’ll be keeping our eye on her and are certain that we’ll be hearing a lot more great stuff from here.

As always,
Enjoy!

We like them so much that we just couldn’t help ourselves!

Once again from Flight 409’s great album “We Don’t Dance” we’ve added The Street, The Sound into our playlist just for you. As for the not dancing part… don’t worry. These guys will get your toes tapping and before you know it you will be up and dancing.

As always,
Enjoy!

Friday and new music!

Today we’re bringing you some soul and some rock, all wrapped up in one cool package called Lady Dottie & The Diamonds. From the West Coast, but with a sound that works everywhere, these guys have it all. Their tunes have a nice vibe to them and paradoxically an old sound as well as a new sound.

From their self-titled album we’re running Livin’ It Up and I Ain’t Mad At Ya–two good cuts, from a good album.

As always,
Enjoy!

Olympus Mons (hailing from Pittsburgh) is a welcome break from the often formula-based songs that seem to come out all the time. These guys have their owns sound, which is all their own–and a darn good sound it is, too.

We’re running their self-titled album and the cut Hours… and you’ll spend hours listening to it (sorry. We just HAD to type that). But seriously, it’s a great album and this is a great song and it fits in well with what we are doing here. Remember, these guys are independent and be sure to support independent music. Head on over to their site to do that!

And if you are in the Pittsburgh area, be sure to catch their show!

As always,
Enjoy!

Rock? Folk? Americana? Roots Rock? Something else entirely? Ashbrook Haynes floats in and around all of those, but that’s OK. We here at Radio Free David don’t care much about the label as we do about the tunes and if we like it, we’ll run it, plain and simple. And we like Ashbrook Haynes, so we’re running them, plain and simple.

We’ve added the tune Ignoring (Makes It Easy) from their new album One Long Chase into our rotation for you… we like this cut and think it makes a fine addition to our playlist. We’re sure you will too!

Ashbrook Haynes hails from Massachusett, and features Marc Rines and Karen Stanley on vocals, along with Paul Bradley, Shawn McCann, Bob Soar and Dan Stanley. They’ve got a nice tight, catchy sound and we’re pleased to be running them!

As always,
Enjoy!

Friday. More New Music. Does life get any better than this?

Today we’re running The Shys and a couple of cuts from the newest You’ll Never Understand This Band The Way That I Do (and we think that takes the prize for longest album title of 2008): She’s Already Gone and the rather funky The Hangman.

You’ve heard The Shys before, even if you didn’t know it. Their music is featured in the HBO series “The Entourage” and the Owen Wilson film “Drill Bit Taylor”, among other places. You would almost–almost–think we’re back in the early days of rock: their sound is classic and timeless. Yet, it’s also got some serious drive to it as well and one thing you can be completely sure of is that you’ll be turning up your volume, and getting up moving to the music. Oh yea, they’re that good.

Thanks to Notorious Liz and Aeronaut Records for making sure this music found us!

As always,
Enjoy!

There is nothing better than a debut album to make us happy and today we’re really happy.

We’re pleased to present Computer Vs. Banjo and their debut album titled, oddly enough, Computer. Vs. Banjo. This stellar album has been taking college radio (among other places) by storm and now it is taking Radio Free David, and thus, you by storm as well. These guys really get it, producing cool music, cool web sites, and just cool stuff in general. Be sure to check it out, and hey, when was the last time you played Pong?

We’re running Give Up On Ghosts, and think it works well with our rotation.

As always,
Enjoy!

Hot New Music! What better way to celebrate a Friday?

Today we’ve added in Chewy Marble and their third release: Modulations. Several years in the making, this is a wonderful album and an excellent listen. Chewy Marble was formed in 1995 by Brian Kassan and they have just kept on going. The tunes we have selected for you (Don’t Look At The Sun and Cross-Hatched World) even have Nelson Bragg on drums! All in all, this is a great listen and something worth checking out.

Thanks to Jerry of Side B Music for getting this gem into our hot little hands!

As always,
Enjoy!
