By Your Side by E

The latest music video from six piece rock/alt band Buffalo Sunn features the single's adorable lyrics held in stark contrast to a video which alludes to the inevitability of the things you just can't change.

The Irish band's throwback to a sixties-esque indie beach sound combined with modern alternative riffs produces an undeniably addictive melody. Sweet lyrics, "don't worry, I'll be there in the morning, by your side, for you", and a prominent guitar riff combine to create a perfectly balanced melody while persistent drums and that final vocal harmony urge you to play the track on repeat.

Catch the music video below, buy the single (from the band's forthcoming debut album, By The Ocean, By The Sea), from iTunes, and head to the websites to find out more about Buffalo Sunn.

Fireworks by E

Watsky's latest music video is as hypnotically fantastic as his fans have come to expect from a rapper who gives you the unabridged truth without a care to the critics. The video features a simple idea built up by intricate details and careful production, only getting better the longer you watch. 

If you haven't already fallen for Watsky's sound, check out his album Cardboard Castles for songs as perfect as "Sloppy Seconds", "Hey, Asshole" (featuring Kate Nash), and "Strong As An Oak" with great videos to match and make sure to check him on this summer's Warped Tour circuit.

Got To My Head by E

WATERS' "Got To My Head" features a youthful rhythm dripping with fun vocal hooks and addictive guitar riffs and is paired with a video just as unobtrusively fun and wonderfully simple as the song itself. A chorus which insists "maybe you got to my head" is easy to sing along with from your first listen while great lines like "like rain on sun-soaked days, I never thought you'd stray, and now I can't stop thinking" keep the song interesting long after you've memorized its sound.

Check out their impossibly fun single for a track you won't mind having stuck in your head the rest of the night.

Summertime by E

With any hope, you're like me and finished your last final today and have a few weeks off from classes and are more than a little ready for summer to finally be here, and The Head and The Heart's release for their "Summertime" video could not be more perfect. 

The track features lead vocals, for the first time ever, from Charity Rose Thielen (violinist/back-up singer) and holds a sweet melody that carries you away and strays just far enough from the band's normal root rock sound that the track, fittingly so, feels like a vacation from the rest of the album. 

Even if you still have another week or so of classes to slough through before you finally get a taste of freedom, you can still check out the slightly trippy and completely sweet stop-motion animation video of a track that promises long days and warm nights to come. 

Grab "Summertime" from THATH's sophomore album, Let's Be Still, and catch the band on tour this summer.
