New Music From The Canon Logic
The Canon Logic delivers “Nights At Armour Mansion.”
Brooklyn via Philadelphia quintet The Canon Logic have been mastering their savvy indie pop sound since the band began at the University of Delaware in 2006. Since then The Canon Logic has been featured on Fearless TV, Vans Warped Tour and CMJ Music Marathon, among others. New album FM Arcade is a slight departure from the band’s pervious work, but keeps the bouncy indie sound that The Canon Logic has so successfully tuned. Have a listen to “Nights At Armour Mansion” below.

Kid, You'll Move Mountains Campaign To Play With Justin Bieber
Help Kid, You'll Move Mountains play with Bieber
Kid, You'll Move Mountains is a pretty rocking band and one that I would never classify as "pop" music. But these Chicagoans are reving up an online campaign to play with pop sensation Justin Bieber at Summerfest this year. As much personal disdain I hold for Mr. Bieber, I want to see this happen.
Here's how this crazy campaign started: Kid, You'll Move Mountains is playing Summerfest in Wisconsin this year on Sunday, June 27 at 9 pm on a stage close to where Justin Bieber is playing later that night. Since Bieber apparently can play the drums (as shown when he played with the Roots), the band thought it would be fun if they could get him to join them for their set. Imagine a group of thirty-something musicians, mostly bearded, and a teenage superstar on drums. Or just look at the picture with this article. Hilarious.
If you'd like to help the band accomplish their goal, you can join their Facebook group or tweet anything KYMM/Bieber related with the hashtag #BieberYoullMoveMountains. In un-Bieber news, the band is busy writing new material for a new album which will be recorded this summer. The Travel Channel recently recorded a performance with Kid, You'll Move Mountains for their new show The Last Adventure, which concentrates on cities and their music scenes. The series hasn't launched yet but should start sometime this summer.

Earl Greyhound Annouce Additional Tour Dates
Earl Greyhound to play Siren Music Festival, Summerfest on US tour
Brooklyn act Earl Greyhound has added additional tour dates to follow their touring stint with Ok Go and Coheed and Cambria. This band seems like they're stuck in the 70s, with their group photo not disputing the claim, but they're every bit a modern rock band. Their latest album Suspicious Package combines the band's love for 70s blues rock bands with a more modern rock sound. One of the band's latest collaborations "Everything Else is Illusion" features lead vocalist and guitarist Matt Whyte and Shooter Jennings, Waylon Jennings's son, who created one bad-ass 70s song that still can captivate a modern audience. "Everything Else is Illusion" is off of Shooter Jennings's new album Black Ribbons. If you want to hear the blues rock stylings of Early Greyhound check out their single "Ghost and the Witness" below. Suspicious Package is out now on Hawk Race Records.

New Music From The National Rifle
The National Rifle ready "Vanity Press EP."
It’s hard to question the commitment of The National Rifle, who claim they’ll work day jobs until they are 100 years old if it means going out on the weekend to play shows. Music is a commitment The National Rifle take seriously – and why not? The band will be releasing Vanity Press EP, their fourth EP in as many years, in late August and are setting themselves up for some prime exposure. Have a listen to “She’s A Waste” below.
