I think it’s appropriate on Super Bowl Sunday to showcase a band named Title Fight. Hailing from Kingston, Pennsylvania….. no, not that Kingston, Title Fight are a punk rock band that formed in 2003.

Day 12 = Jagwar Ma
Performing = Friday

Jagwar Ma are an indie dance band from Sydney, Australia that are now based in the U,K. The three piece formed in 2011 and consists of Gabriel Winterfield (lead vocals, guitar, loops), Jono Ma (guitar, synths, drum machine, samples), and Jack Freeman (bass, backing vocals). The group’s name is derived from Jono’s surname and a painting of a jaguar passed on to them by a friend.

Their debut full-length Howlin’ is kick-ass, and has received nothing but high praise since its release last June. Jagwar Ma was recognized on this blog’s end-of-year countdown with Howlin’ being named the #5 album of the year, and “Come Save Me” finished as the #4 track of the year.

The band’s sound is heavily influenced by groups from the Madchester scene of the late-eighties and early-nineties; such as Happy Mondays, Primal Scream, and The Stone Roses. Combine the Madchester sound with a hint of chillwave, and what you’re left with is Jagwar Ma.

This week the band released a video for the track “Uncertainty,” you can check it out below.

The Head and The Heart are an indie-folk band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 2009. The band formed when they met while
playing a series open mic nights at a local Seattle pub.

The band self-pressed and hand-made the sleeves of their debut eponymous LP in 2011. After local trendy record stores couldn’t keep enough copies in stock, the band signed with hometown Sub Pop . The label re-released the album, and it went on to become one of the best-selling debut albums for Sub Pop in years.

The band released their sophomore album Let’s Be Still back in October. If you’re someone who checks out the Indie On TV page… you’ll already know that the band has played just about every late night program lately. The Head and The Heart have toured extensively over the last couple of years, supporting the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, and Vampire Weekend.

Bastille are an English alternative rock band that formed in London in 2010.

The band’s music blends a unique mix of alt-rock, synthpop, EDM, R&B, and EMO. Smith cites Regina Spektor, Bat for Lashes, and Florence Welch as influences, and claims the record label thinks of them as “Coldplay meets Friendly Fires” with an edge.

The band has received significant mainstream radio play, and are currently making their way around the late night TV circuit. Last Saturday, Bastille was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Bastille released their debut LP Bad Blood back on September 3 in the U.S. The album has yielded six singles, all of which were released prior to the album dropping, talk about building the hype. The band’s most successful single “Pompeii” reached #10 on the U.S. Billboard Charts. Criticized for trying to appeal to too many audiences, the band has received mixed reviews thus far.

Drowners are a Brooklyn based post-punk band that formed in 2012. The band is named after the tune “Drowners” by the Britpop outfit Suede. The vibe they’re going after is Strokes/Vaccines/Artic Monkeys and have been criticized for sounding just like that. The quartet released a 3-song EP titled Between Us Girls almost exactly a year ago, that included the single “Long Hair.” Their debut self-titled full-length coincidentally dropped today (download it below). The band is currently offering the lead single “Luv, Hold Me Down” for free on their website.

The Knife are the brother-sister duo of Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer. The electronic act formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1999. Over a fifteen year career the band has released four studio albums, all of which received critical acclaim.

Although, The Knife is well-received by the media, The Knife do not receive the media well. The band did not begin playing live until after the release of their third album Silent Shout in 2006. Furthermore, the duo rarely makes themselves available to the media for interviews and appearances. Their uncooperative act includes wearing masks with bird beaks, similar to the over-rated and over-hyped “Robots,” what a piece of works that was last night…

In addition it to Karin’s work with The Knife, she fronts the side project Fever Ray. Prior to The Knife, she was a member of the band Honey Is Cool. In his spare time, Olof works under the monikers DJ Coolof and Oni Ayhun. The duo cites Sonic Youth, Kate Bush, Le Tigre, Siouxsie and The Banshees as musical influences.

Singer-Songwriter Yoann Lemoine is the mastermind behind his latest neofolk project, Woodkid. Neofolk is a form of folk music-inspired experimental music that emerged from post industrial music, that sounds way too complicated for me. Mr. Lemoine has released the EP Iron in 2011, and his full-length debut The Golden Age in March 2013. The track “Run Boy Run” was nominated for Best Short Form Music Video at the 2013 Grammy Awards.

The French musician has also dabbled in graphic design and directing music videos. Some of the notable artists that he has directed music videos for include: Moby, Katy Perry, Drake, Rihanna, and someone’s guilty pleasure…Lana Del Rey

Day 3 = The 1975

The 1975 are an English alt-pop band that have been making music since 2002. In 2012 the Manchester based band finally settled on the name The 1975. Prior to their current moniker, the band used the names Talkhouse, The Slowdown, Bigsleep, and Drive Like I Do. Frontman Matthew Healy says that the name was inspired by scribblings found in the back page of a poetry book dated 1 June, The 1975.

The 1975 released their full-length self-titled debut back in September. Prior to that, the band released a series of four extended plays. The quartet has been compared to The Big Pink, but I’ll need quite a few more listens to be on board with that one. The band cites Talking Heads, Brian Eno, My Bloody Valentine, Peter Gabriel, and none other than “from now on Coachella is Prince’s house” as their musical influences.

Mogwai are a cosmic rock band that formed in 1995 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The key figure in making all this happen is guitarist John Cummings.

Mogwai says their influences include My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, The Cure, and the Pixies. Well there you go, I can’t go one day without mentioning the Pixies.

The band has released 8 studio albums and numerous EP’s over a nineteen year career. The most recent, Rave Tapes, coincidentally was released today.
