Nov 12, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichYou may not know this yet, especially if you're not exactly up on the music scene, but English rock band Kasabian (made up of front man Tom Meighan, songwriter/guitarist Sergio Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards, and drummer Ian Matthews) is widely considered to be the best act in the world—at least the Q Awards think so since they've awarded them with the title twice now (once in 2010 and again this year). ...

Nov 12, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichWith each new product B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen releases, our love for them grows and their BeoPlay A2 isn't about to change that. The Bluetooth loudspeaker not only promises 24-hour Li-ion battery life on one charge and "True 360" degree sound, but it's also super cute and stylish—just look at that dashing bearded man holding it pensively. ...

Nov 11, 2014 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoYou know when you hear a new song that causes you to take notice of the title so you can mentally add it to your music collection? There is something so satisfying about discovering something you’ve never heard before, and then you watch the music video. A good video can resurrect those initial feelings you had and even give you a greater love for the song. ... Read More | 
Oct 28, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich | 2 CommentsHozier may not have been a household name this time last year, or heck, even five months ago, but the Irish musician is certainly on his way to being one now. Putting his own spin on the blues and gospel of the 1950s, Andrew Hozier-Bryne is exactly how he appears to be: charming, soft-spoken, intelligent, modest, and incredibly sweet. ... Read More | 
Oct 6, 2014 | Contributor: JustLuxe TeamHaving a great pair of headphones is one thing, but getting a dedicated headphone amplifier is another thing entirely. The MHA100 is the very first amplifier of its kind from McIntosh and gives four digital inputs that allows the gadget to decode music at up to 32 bits and 192kHz for maximum enjoyment and quality. ...

Oct 2, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich | 1 CommentWe've all heard the story before: a kid is raised in a super strict religious household and grows up to kill it in the music industry. It happened to Kings of Leon and it happened to Katy Perry. But what sets Avid Dancer's Jacob Summers apart (aside from him being fairly new to the scene) is his genuine unabashed enthusiasm for not only his own music (which brings to mind a low-key '70s beach rock movie), but for the music around him. ...

Sep 16, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichV-MODA's XS over-ear headphones will convince you to ditch those earbuds, with a set that is not only customizable with engraved plates, but sounds fantastic. The super slim XS fold in on themselves neatly and settle into a hard-backed carrying case that you can clip to whatever you want, be it your belt loop or your in-flight carry-on bag. ...

Sep 3, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich | 1 CommentHigh school marked my musical awakening, a time when I started to really construct my own identity outside of my mom's water-damaged Cat Stevens records, my dad's old Johnny Cash, and the popular boy bands of the early 1990s (I'll never live that down). It was then I discovered my affinity for Nick Cave's poetic brutality, Morrissey's dramatic flair, Billy Bragg's political fortitude, and of course, The Walkmen's confident frontman Hamilton Leithauser who made every note seem essential. ...

Sep 1, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichIf you fancy yourself a hardcore science-fiction fan and have George Takei's Twitter account as your homepage, you're going to love MB&F's MusicMachine 2 (MM2), which was made by Reuge. Taking on the shape of a spacecraft, the fancy Swiss music box plays songs from Star Wars, Star Trek, and even the The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. If this sounds familiar, you may remember reading about Reuge's Musical Starship last year, which took on a much different shape. ... Read More | 
Aug 15, 2014 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoIf you were listening close enough last season during an especially emotional moment on NBC’s Parenthood, you may have heard Allman Brown’s beautifully written song Sons and Daughters playing in the background. For me, it was when vocalist Liz Lawrence joined him on the chorus, filling his melodies with wonderfully placed harmonies, that I knew I had to hear more. ... Read More | 
Aug 14, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichSometimes luxury means a product that's so unusual and cool that it's completely unique in its market, like the "world's first levitating Bluetooth speaker," the OM/ONE—yeah, it actually floats. Designed by OM Audio, this music gadget is pretty much the perfect gift to give someone who has everything, because we're willing to bet that a suspended speaker orb is something they probably don't have. ...

Aug 7, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichRock music-themed headphones are more popular than ever but before another new trendy model comes out, let's direct our focus to Marshall's over-ear Monitor headphones. Designing a lifestyle just as much as they do their iconic guitar amps, this brand is usually pinpointed the moment someone walks into a room. To be honest, most guests spot the Stanmore sitting in my living room before they even notice the giant plastic T-Rex head hung above the mantel (true story), and that's because Marshall is synonymous with cool. ...

Aug 7, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichHouston-based indie rock band The Tontons had already been on the road for two months straight by the time we got to them behind Soda Bar in San Diego. With their road-weary tour van stuffed full of blankets and pillows beside us in the alley as a reminder of their exhaustion, they took some time to chat about their unique sound, the pressure and perks of self-releasing, and what life is like on the road. ...

Aug 5, 2014 | Contributor: JustLuxe TeamUsually we don't mind luxury headphones with cords, but sometimes we want the freedom of wireless—especially while on long flights. Phiaton's Chord MS 530 Wireless Headphones offer noise cancelling technology and quick Bluetooth connectivity (which allows for two devices to be connected at once), as well as a balanced sound across many different genres. ...

Jul 18, 2014 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThere's a scene in 20,000 Days on Earth in which Nick Cave chauffeurs Kylie Minogue around Brighton in a black 1980s Jaguar XJ as she reflects back on having first met him. The front passenger seat is left open for us, the audience, as an invitation into a music documentary that's not quite real. In fact, everything you see has been constructed and the car you're in is more like a dream. Though the ambitious film is artistically pieced together and wrapped in fiction by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard—and co-written by Cave himself—it's actually the most beautifully honest reflection of art's transformative power you may ever see. ...
