Minus the Bear release video for "Steel and Blood", stream new album online today only

Indie rock outfit Minus the Bear have put out a music video for "Steel and Blood", off of their upcoming August 28th release, Infinity Overheard. While their last album, OMNI, didn't really do much for me, the two tracks they've released from this one so far are quite catchy and enjoyable. I'm certainly looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

Speaking of, fans should be able to hear the entire album very soon, as the band is set to stream it on their website, today only. Just keep refreshing their site until they put up the stream, and hit the jump to check out the video while you wait.

Listen: Animal Collective streaming their new album Centipede Hz

Last night on the final episode of their weekly radio show, Animal Collective played an early mix of their album that band member Geologist made to help convey the sound and vibe they wanted to their producer. Following that was the actual, finished album. Even if you missed the show you can still listen to both, as well as the past three episodes featuring music curated by the other members of the band, as well as a slew of other notable artists.

It's worth noting that despite my confusion over the Avey Tare-centric music video they posted on Friday, every member of the band is present on this album, including Deakin, who wasn't around for their past record, Merriweather Post Pavillion. Also, I'm enjoying the new music quite a bit. Give Centipede Hz a listen here, and check out all four episodes of their radio show here.

Listen: Nuclear Rabbit share rough cut of a new song

The winners of the "Metal band that most makes you feel like you're on an acid trip" award for 23 years and running, Nuclear Rabbit, shared a rough cut of a new song on their Facebook. The track -- titled "A Series of Uncomfortable Thoughts and Feelings" -- was described as "still in progress" by lead singer Greg Parrish.

Its been since 2003's Mutopia that they've put out any new material, though a recent increase in touring certainly hinted at a revitalization of the band. It was noted that Greg and guitarist Jason Branyan are the ones that put together the track, but with everyone getting together for the recent performances I'm sure the whole crew is on board for working on it. It's likely just a matter of finding time among their various other projects and solo careers, including that of bassist Jean Baudin, whom I interviewed quite awhile back.

I don't know about you, but the prospect of a new Nuclear Rabbit release has me extremely excited. Though, I'll settle for an east coast tour with a stop somewhere in Michigan. Hit the jump to give the new song a listen and let us know what you think in the comments.

Listen: The Snake The Cross The Crown mysteriously drop what appear to be demos of new material

Indie rock/folk outfit The Snake The Cross The Crown haven't really been a band for a few years now. Following the release of On a Carousel of Sound, We Go Round (a documentary film that included a b-sides album with a few new songs) they took an indefinite hiatus from music. Now, they might be making a comeback, though, it's still hard to tell.

On the first of July the band unceremoniously linked to a never released song called Looper, on a SoundCloud page for the band that no one knew existed. They didn't provide any context for what the song was, but there's another one titled Beach Demo v2 so rampant speculation would point to demos for a new album.

While I'd certainly love more music from The Snake The Cross The Crown, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high. They haven't said a word since dropping these tracks over a month ago, so they could very well just be unloading old files or simply messing around with no grander plan for an album. For now, give them a listen and sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

Listen: Civil Civic release new track titled 'New!'

Civil Civic remain the only reason I have an IndieGogo account (though Z World Detroit is a real contender for reason #2), and I liked the album they delivered using the funds from their successful campaign enough to put them on this list. So, news of a new song called "New!" was surely exciting for me! Sadly, it's not new new, just unreleased new (Alright, I'm banning the word 'new' from this post as of now). It didn't make the cut for their debut LP, Rules.

Still, it's a fun track and I'm slightly confused why it wasn't included in the first place. As there were many previously-released tracks on the album, this one would have helped sway the numbers toward having more fresh, unreleased songs.

Anyway, hit the jump to listen or name-your-price to download your very own copy of 'New!' (Shit!).

Listen: Propagandhi release 'Bullshit Politicians' remake that never made it to 'Rock Against Bush' compilation

Back in 2004 Propagandhi redid their song 'Bullshit Politicians' for the Rock Against Bush compilation, but due to disagreements between the band and the head of the label (Fat Mike of NOFX) the song never made it on the album. Fortunately, fans can now get it from Bandcamp for a name-your-price download. The song was renamed 'Free John Hinckley' (the attempted assassin of Ronald Reagan), and was released in honor of Stephen Harper's (Canadian Prime Minister) Bill C-38.

Singer Chris Hannah had this to say about it:

...in honour of the total handing over of the country’s keys to corporate interests by Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party (i wish they’d conserve something for once), also known as Bill C-38, we dug up said track from the deep within the Propagandhi archives and put it on that thing called “band camp”. you can take it for free (i think) or you can buy us a virtual beer and a smoke with a donation while you follow the link in the description to see what’s so bad about favouring multinational corporations over the people that actually live here. who knows? maybe one or both of us can actually get out from in front of our computers and join those already trying to do something about this dark day. crazier things have happened.

Hit the jump to give it a listen, and pitch them some beer money if you enjoy it.
