This is the third album by Casey Veggies and include features from artists like Tyler The Creator, YG, Ty Dolla $ign, and Dej Loaf.

SMILE AND BURN

 Today we have another German band, Smile And Burn from Berlin. Since forming around 2009 these guys have put together 3 really good albums containing pop punk, indie, and rock. With the first album, "Flight Attempt of the Kiwi" (2010) the singing was more aggressive with sometimes yelling with a punk feel. Then, in 2012 came the release of "We Didn't Even Fight Yet". This album gave about the same vibes as the first with punk and contained a few calm like tracks, but at times this album was even heavier and some songs had guitar solos. Skip two years ahead and out comes their third album in 2014, "Action Action". This album is another goodie with a smoother Pop Punk sound with even better sounding vocals and organization. I would relate the way the band sounds to that of Against Me!. Now these albums have been put out basically every two years, and 2016 didn't bring one, but you're in luck because March 2, 2017 comes the newest edition to the Smile And Burn discography, "Get Better Get Worse". Well lets have a listen to Smile And Burn!

PORTUGAL. THE MAN "Evil Friends" Vinyl

 Hello Monday, and here at Around The Groove that means a post about vinyl. Portugal. The Man will be today's artist on vinyl with their 7th full length album, "Evil Friends". For starters, Portugal. The Man began as a side project, from the members of Anatomy Of A Ghost in 2004. Anatomy was a emo/rock/screamo band formed in 2001 and even ended up signed to Rise Records, but soon after the creation of Portugal. The Man a side project turned into a main focus. Portugal is a rock band with a very smooth deliverance that lets your brain relax without giving up the high energy. Evil Friends is a great album for vinyl, actually most Portugal albums are great spinning under the needle. This album was produced by Danger Mouse (MF Doom, Beck, The Black Keys) and was released under Atlantic Records. In the past, well beginning these guys worked with Fearless Records. The contents of the vinyl packaging include one 180g black vinyl, a lyric sheet with artwork, the album on cd, and some very interesting artwork from front to back and even the inside of the gatefold.

CAGE THE ELEPHANT "Tell Me I'm Pretty" Vinyl

 Vinyl Day!!! Well today on vinyl I have the latest album from rock band, Cage The Elephant on vinyl. "Tell Me I'm Pretty" is Cage The Elephant's fourth album and was released in December of 2015. Little bit about these guys, in 2006 they formed in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and by 2008 Cage The Elephant decided to move to London before the release of their first album. Since then this band has done many great things including touring with The Black Keys. Oh yeah and these guys got nominated for a Grammy on their third album, "Melophobia". This 2015 release is a great one, sounds perfect for vinyl too! It is one of those "listen from beginning to end" kind of records with all 10 tracks ending up to be pretty satisfying. While visiting friends in Washington D.C. we went to a record store in Georgetown and I came out with a few records, but was looking for CTE's new album. It was on the walk back that we found an Urban Outfitters, it would be here I located what I was looking for, the "Tell Me I'm Pretty" LP.

I will share with you, a nice relaxed track from this album.
