June 5, 2013 – The two sisters that make up Dog Party may be young — Gwen and Lucy Giles are 17 and 14 years old, respectively — but they've been playing music together since elementary school. On August 13, the Sacramento wunderkinds will release their third Dog Party LP, Lost Control. Ahead of that milestone, we've got "Jet Pack," a sugary "us-against-the-world" summer anthem that draws a line from the Shangri-Las to the Ramones to Best Coast. Who needs a high school diploma when you've got pop chops that sharp? Dog Party 2013 tour dates: June 6 - Sacramento, CA @ Luigi'sJune 8 - San Diego, CA @ Che CafeJune 9 - Long Beach, CA @ DiPiazzaJune 11 - Long Beach, CA @ DiPiazzaJune 13 - Las Cruces, NM @ The TrainyardJune 14 - Howe, TX @ TBAJune 15 - Beaumont, TX @ Tequila RokJune 17 - Orlando, FL @ Will's PubJune 18 - St.

June 5, 2013 – Warm Soda's recently released debut album relishes in sweetly scuzzy hooks and power-pop charm. The Bay Area rebels' new video for "Jeanie Loves Pop," a gutter-glam highlight from the Someone for You LP, celebrates another rock'n'roll trope: Loud guitars are the devil's playthings. Jeanie's a tattooed teen stuck with Bible-thumping parents who demand she turn off that darn racket. Mom and dad call a priest to save their heathen daughter, but it's a lost cause — the power of Warm Soda compels her. 

June 5, 2013 – Kendrick Lamar, Disclosure, Wavves, Father John Misty, Baroness, Death Grips, Lana Del Rey, and many more will be pulling double-duty during this year's Lollapalooza. They're all scheduled to play the festival's aftershows, which are happening at various venues throughout Chicago from July 31 to August 4.

June 5, 2013 – Black Mountain members Amber Webber and Joshua Wells are three albums into their Lightning Dust synth side project, and it runs smoother than ever. On June 25, the Vancouver duo will follow 2009's Infinite Light with Fantasy, a full-length that features enthralling lead single "Diamond" and the newly revealed "Loaded Gun." Powered by muscular drum beats and a darkly throbbing robo pulse, Lightning Dust's latest track boasts an Italo disco-pedigree. Maybe Canadians Do It Better. 

June 4, 2013 – The release date for AlunaGeorge's long-awaited debut album has been pushed back once again. Originally set for July 1, the British duo's first full-length, Body Music, was recently delayed to July 15. Now, the up-and-coming R&B stars have booked the LP for a July 29 unveiling.Whenever the electro-pop collection arrives, it'll come via Island Records and feature previously heard songs "Attracting Flies," "Your Drums, Your Love," and "Just a Touch." Sorry, no room for their Frank Ocean or Jungle Book covers here, but there is a bonus cut that looks to be a remake of Montell Jordan's unkillable "This Is How We Do It." AlunaGeorge have performed a slightly zonked-out version of the classic bump'n'grinder before — here's the proof.Body Music follows last year's You Know You Like It EP.

June 4, 2013 – Jay-Z is skewing toward a younger audience for his next album — a much younger audience. Like, Blue Ivy's age. Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Jay-Z will arrive on July 9. The upcoming set reimagines 12 of Jigga's best-known tracks as baby-friendly tunes that will ease the little ones to sleep. "Jay-Z's heavily rhythmic style and mastery of flow translate effortlessly to the soothing bedtime arrangements," reads a press release. The collection draws from Mr. Carter's entire career: The Blueprint 3's 2009 monster hit, "Empire State of Mind," is comfortably nestled next to "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)," from 1998's Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life. For a preview of the record's xylophone- and bell-led arrangements, head over to the Rockabye Baby! website.

June 4, 2013 – Jenny Lewis and boyfriend/collaborator Johnathan Rice have been tapped to score and provide music for Song One, an upcoming musical, romantic drama starring Anne Hathaway. According to a press release, the film& tells the story of a young archaeologist (Hathaway, natch) who returns home from a dig and "strikes up a relationship with her ailing brother's favorite musician," who will be played by British folkie Johnny Flynn.In addition to scoring said feature, Lewis and Rice have written a collection of original songs specifically for the flick. The adorkable duo have performed under the moniker Jenny and Johnny since 2010, the same year they released their debut album, I'm Having Fun Now.

June 4, 2013 – Beck, the Killers, Kings of Leon, Danny Brown, and Charli XCX will play the first annual Life Is Beautiful Festival, which takes place in downtown Las Vegas on October 26 and 27. The two-day event is being produced by Another Planet, the promoter behind the well-established Outside Lands and Treasure Island festivals, in collaboration with marketing group MAKTUB and the Aurelian Marketing Group's Rehan Choudhry. Organizers have assembled a lineup that blends a bit of alt-rock iconography (Beck) with Top 40-tested arena rock (the Killers, Kings of Leon) and (relatively) fresh-faced talent.The full roster: The Killers, Kings of Leon, Beck, Imagine Dragons, Pretty Lights, Empire of the Sun, Passion Pit, Jurassic 5, Childish Gambino, STS9, Purity Ring, Big Gigantic, Portugal.

June 4, 2013 – Summer Cannibals are self-starters. Not only did the Portland, Oregon foursome self-produce their upcoming debut album, No Makeup, they also designed the cover art and plan to release the collection on their own label, New Moss Records. So it's not surprising that singer-guitarist Jessica Boudreaux sounds so self-assured on the garage-rock sweethearts' latest single, "Wear Me Out." Backed by a bopping drum beat and strutting riffs, Boudreaux delivers an irresistible come-on: "Let's pretend I'm your favorite dress," she sings. "You wear me every Sunday because I'm your best." Slip into the track below.114227:song:Wear Me Out:

June 4, 2013 – Tomahawk made their U.S. television debut on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night (June 3), performing "White Hats/Black Hats," a tightly wound highlight off the band's fourth album, Oddfellows. The alt-metal supergroup — composed of Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), Duane Denison (the Jesus Lizard, Silver Jews), John Stanier (Battles, Helmet), and Trevor Dunn (Melvins Lite, Fantômas) — didn't rely on occult-loving parlor tricks for the above clip (they leave those for the official music videos). Instead, the California unit doubled down on their apocalyptic brand of bug-eyed, creeper-voiced sprawl.
