The Best of What We Missed ‘07 - Matthew Dear

Peervalidated will update our website everyday for the remainder of this old year with a few of the great things we missed.  It could be because we’re lazy, it could be because we didn’t hear of it, it could simply be because we forgot.  Here’s one such band/song/genre/etc…

The Darjeeling Limited Soundtrack

 
Pictured Above:  Hip as shit.
Wes Anderson is the master of all soundtracks.  You can keep your Paul Andersons and your Cameron Crowes, but I’ll bet my buttons that ole’ Wes will always come out on top.  His knack for finding the perfect, seemingly never-heard-before song from that band-you-thought-you-knew is uncanny. 
I’m a huge Kinks guy, and […]

Merry Christmas

From left to right: Kyle, Andy, Trevor
We have a present for you. Andy and I, along with our roommate Trevor, each recorded a Christmas song at the luxurious ‘my bedroom’ studio. With the purest hearts and balmiest warm wishes we mailed a few cards to friends. Unfortunately, we didn’t bribe the postperson enough not to […]

The Little Ones - Ordinary Song


Here’s a fun lil’ song from the band, The Little Ones.  I’m always a bit skittish about bands who talk about the radio in their music, but this song is just so durn catchy.  Stay tuned for a possible album review.  Be sure to check out our Christmas show tonight […]

I Might Be Wrong - We Don’t Wear Colours

Pictured: I Might Be Wrong making a big-ass German mess of things.
I Might Be Wrong sort of sounds like Pinback, if the members of Pinback consisted of people that your little sister hung out with. Oh, and that those said friends were also German. Oi vey.
Like the last Metric album, […]

Subtle (ft. Dan Boeckner) - Middleclass Haunt

So, this is a pretty hot track. Anybody who’s ever heard any of Adam Drucker’s stuff knows you’re gonna be on a bit of a wild ride, at least lyrically. I just read an interview with him regarding the new Subtle album. It started out pretty normal, but about halfway through I was completely lost […]

Jakobinarina - His Lyrics are Disasterous

Pictured: Jakobinarina, helping to forge new and exciting icelandic stereotypes since 2005!
Jakobinarina sound like Andrew W.K. sped up. Booming drums, blaring synth, and a penchance for almost punk rock guitars. It is intense to say the least. I don’t know anything about these guys, and I don’t really want to. […]

Miracle Fortress - Five Roses

Pictured: So very pleased with himself.
Miracle Fortress is another self-recorded, one man band from Canada. Of course, I’m going to say that you wouldn’t know it just by listening. Graham Van Pelt, who recently played on tour with Wolf Parade and Art Brut, recorded his new release Five Roses in his venue/studio in Montreal with […]
