VJ Samsonite's "Hot New Music" song of the day is....

...Anxiety, by Aussie rock band Eddy Current Suppression Ring. Now if that name isn't a mouthful, I don't know what is. Eddy Current Suppression Ring hails at us out of Melbourne, Australia, that's right folks, another great new rock band coming from Melbourne. I am telling you, check out the Melbourne music scene (and the Sydney one too), and you might be surprised at all the great new music you find. This song comes off of their Rush to Relax album (released in February 2010), and thus is pretty much brand-spanking new! The video I found on youtube below was the only one of the song, so I assume there is no official music video yet. Trivia question for you: what is an eddy current suppression ring anyways?? (massive hint: its a copper ring around a transformer that subdues Foucault currents). Check it!

... a song called Fader by Aussie rock band The Temper Trap. The Temper Trap hails at us out of Melbourne, Victoria (heaps of great new artists coming out of Melbs and Sydney lately), and delivers to us its own brand of "atmospheric sound" (as wikipedia suggests). This song comes off of their Conditions album, which was released in June of 2009. Lots of good new music came out in 2009 aye? Hope you didn't miss out on it! Not much else to say about them, so look them up if you want more info, woot!

...Saturday Night, by Aussie artist Matt Van Schie (pronounced Matt Van Ski). Matt Van Schie is also the vocals/bass in Sydney electro-pop band Van She who were formed in 2005 (and whom I would also highly recommend everyone give a listen to). This song reminds me of many old 80's synth-pop songs but holds its own elements in this new wave of electro-pop which is upon now upon us. Perhaps I will have to post some Van She in the future, although much of their music is about 4-5 yrs old already, my how the time flies!

..."The King and All Of His Men," by U.K. artist Wolf Gang. Now, due to having such a common name from history it is a bit of a pain to find any info on this specific artist, as you can imagine you have lots of Wolf Gang's, a few different bands named Wolfgang with or without a space, but you can find them on myspace when you search their name and this song. This song came out in October 2009, and it has an interesting sound which makes it unique, you'll just have to listen to it, it is quite catchy. And that's all he said...

VJ Samsonite's New Music Song of the Day is...

..."I Don't Want to Party (Party)," by Aussie indie rock duo Philadelphia Grand Jury. Yes, I know the name makes them sound American, but they ain't, this duo hails at us from their sunny + beachy hometown of Sydney, Australia. In fact I realized that these first 3 new music posts I have done are quite diverse, in terms of the band's countries of origin, and thus I will make sure that tomorrow's new song comes from a band from yet another country. Getting back to the "Philly Jays," they are quite a talented duo with a fresh new rock sound and clearly have talent. This song is my favorite by them yet, and they keep on impressing me all of the time. The album, called "Hope is for Hopers," came out last year and hit number 34 on the ARIA albums chart. This Aussie duo deserves some coverage and some airtime for sure, check out the song below (sorry no video to this one yet):
