One of the many reasons to support KEXP during our current Summer Membership Drive is the value we provide in your constant search for new music. Each and every Tuesday, we gather guilt-free MP3 links for you to download and videos to watch from the week’s new releases. You’ll find new discoveries like debut full-lengths from two about-to-blow-up Brooklyn bands, Suckers and The Drums, along with the latest from your KEXP favorites like Tokyo Police Club, Teenage Fanclub, Ratatat, The Henry Clay People, Nada Surf, Yo La Tengo, BLK JKS, Delta Spirit, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, and Deer Tick, plus plenty of local heroes like Blitzen Trapper and The Moondoggies.
You might even find some new bands you’ve never heard before, like the melodic Here We Go Magic, Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds, young rootsy singer Samantha Crain, and up-and-coming Florida duo Viernes. Hell, you might even discover some of this new music before our DJs do!
Stay hip, stay tuned in, get informed with posts like “Out This Week” on the KEXP Blog, and don’t forget that without your support, none of this would be possible!
Okay, the message is over. Now get listening and make every day Record Store day!
