Teen Inc. (Barely) Rename Themselves, Drop a New Song

Way, way back in 2010, there was this Prince-inspired band I blogged about named Teen Inc. Then, they only had a mere 7" to their name, though that 7" was admittedly rad. Well, more than a year later, the L.A. duo have renamed themselves "Inc." and let out the first track off their forthcoming EP, 3.

The good news: "Swear" is as strong, if not stronger than their previous single, keeping all the keytars, wonky bass and Paula Abdul drum beats in place, while refining their Purple One influences.

Slow Dance to Shoegaze Ballads With Your Boy Friend

Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown really dig the The Cocteau Twins. The duo, who record and perform as Boy Friend, released an EP earlier this month that's practically four tracks of "Lorelei" homage. That's okay though, because I'm totally digging the shoegaze and 80's chic allusions.

If I was DJing a high school dance in a John Hughes movie, I'd put on some Boy Friend, and watch some serious slow dancing break out.

"Lazy Hunter" is personal highlight and the whole EP can be found here.
