Following in the disco-infused indie rock of its Aussie compatriots Cut/Copy, Midnight Juggernauts and Empire of the Sun comes Strange Talk, who just released their self-titled debut EP on Neon Gold Records.

EA’s most potent racing franchise, Need For Speed, has released another edition in its much coveted catalog: SHIFT 2: UNLEASHED. As you know we did that Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Tour with EA last fall, and this latest edition builds on the superlative physics engine of that game. SHIFT 2 moves away from the […]

Los Angeles’ Dr. Romanelli has never been one to shy away from bold designs, but this “Summers on the Fringe” vest may be his most ostentatious to date.
