Any true Vinyl Mag fan knows that when we see anything about Cara Delevingne, we go crazy (doesn’t everyone?). And that is what just happened. Recently, women’s mecca Topshop released a promo video for its holiday campaign starring none other than everyone’s favorite It Girl model! The video is one minute and 35 seconds of absolute…
Decathect by Jesse Gimbel Producer and engineer Jesse Gimbel recently released his solo album, Decathect, with Wissahickon Records, and by solo I do mean this is literally a one-man band. Gimbel plays guitar and drums, and even records, produces, and shoots some of his own stuff. After researching further, I found various covers by Gimbel. In his “Wrecking Ball” video,…
Electronica group CHVRCHES has released a new single that will be included on the soundtrack for the upcoming, destined-to-be blockbuster “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1.” The song, titled “Dead Air,” is a melodic and peaceful tune that will truly capture the essence of Katniss for the new film.

When first hearing about The Flaming Lips releasing a Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band cover album, two emotions came over me: excitement and terror.

As it is Swift’s fifth studio album and first “fully pop” record, fans are more pumped than ever to…
It’s been three years since Gruff Rhys’ Hotel Shampoo, and he’s been busy. His newest album, American Interior, is more than just an album; it is a multimodal story. The album is accompanied by a book, a documentary film, and an app. The premise behind all of this is quite interesting and goes way back….
South African band Die Antwoord has released a new music video that is damn near lunatic. The music video for DA’s recent single, “Ugly Boy,” seems more like a cameo free-for-all than a song. The celebs that are dispersed throughout the video are some of the most unexpected cameos that no one but husband and wife…
After the success of their criticism-filled single “Girl in a Country Song” calling out perpetrators of “bro-country,” brand new duo Maddie & Tae released their much-anticipated self-titled debut EP today.

The Danish trio consists of singer/guitarist, Martin Ejlersten and brothers, Adam and Tobias Winberg. Think Jet but more intimidating, and much more badass. With Ejlersten’s rough and raw vocals, along…
