This new San Diego rock band Steal Away recently charted on Apple Music and iTunes but what actually caught my eye is this mini-documentary that they did. Full of personality, some live studio shots, and cuts to interviews from each of the members, this doc is such an intimate moment with the band (and p.s. it's a great way for you all in bands to show PR, music blogs, and fans a little inside look at their friendship and music.) Use these guys to get inspired with your own music (or reach out to our boy Nunzio to help you...

“I want people to better themselves through the things I’m doing … make the world better through something I’ve done.”  We chatted with the very smart, very talented, and damn good rapper Primo JAB on how he got started, his new album he just dropped, and what Jab means for those of us living under a rock. One of the sickest interviews I've done in a while, take a look.   ITC: So let’s start at the beginning, where are you from?  Primo JAB: I’m from the West side of Chicago, called Oak Park. Born and raised. I’m a Sox fan...

How you got started with IntheClouds Dan and I have been friends since college. We were both in the music industry program. The first time I can remember meeting him was when he got kicked out of the department’s annual welcome meeting for new students. He was a character. Now they invite him back every year to inspire students - go figure. I watched Dan slowly grow ITC into “a thing” over the years and really admired him for it. He was passionate about the bands and the music, he pursued it because he loved doing it. Total DIY mentality....

Interpol is back and arguably better than ever.  What I love about them is that each of their albums (and corresponding tracks from various albums) still retain the classic Interpol sound—atmospheric and dark; gloomy but not entirely depressing—but are distinct in their own right. Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to Turn on the Bright Lights, but I'm finding that I am enjoying their new tunes almost as much.  Their forthcoming Dave Fridmann-produced new album, Marauder, comes out in a few weeks (August 24th) on Matador Records. And this video is a precursor for what's to come. The video was shot on-location...

We've got a very early Friday surprise for you from the homies Wilder Sons. Their new EP is hitting the interwebs and world tomorrow but in advance of that we've got the title track off the EP, and it's just dripping with nostalgia. “In Between” is the kind of song you bump on repeat when the long drive home has you daydreaming of what was, is, or could have been. It’s sentimental, catchy, and elegantly performed. The chorus blossoms while his melodic chant asks the age-old question if you can ever truly return “there again”? As your summer vacation comes to a...
