Vampire Weekend infected the music world virally with an image of a girl staring blankly into the camera, linking to a website ithinkyouarecontra.com which then led to an enlarged image of the girl.

The Kids Dont Stand A Chance.

After the amazing track Miike Snow came up with, we were all animals for a while. (Remember?)

Chromeo has gone nuts and decided to make everyone wanna lick them.

They remixed a track of Vampire Weekend’s self titled album.

Most of you know the track by heart by now i believe, but this remix is not meant to be played at clubs to get the fists pumping.

We’ve come to expect nothing less than first class from these boys.

MP3 | Vampire Weekend – The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance (Chromeo Remix)

These 2 bands have already set the pace for indie/electro records for the year and what a bar they have set.

MGMT was formerly known as the management and
we here at !tashed concur with the rolling stones to declare
MGMT the artiste to watch in 2008.

This brooklyn band is currently travelling with yeasayer and is pure psychedelic pop goodness.

Just grab the tracks and fall in love.

Vampire weekend are the latest band to hoard and run riot in the indie music blogosphere.
And its for a good reason.

These columbia university alumni (NYC again!) have performed alongside the likes of The Shins, The Kills and Supergrass on Jools Holland so be sure to watch out for them.

Being influenced by african popular music and western classical music
has resulted in the freshest sound i have heard in a while.

Know them before they get all over the wretched radio waves.
