Hope you’re all relaxed and full of BBQ from the long weekend! This week at the Rind we’re incredibly excited for the looong-awaited release of Cage’s Depart From Me. Also in our Featured Artists section is the up and coming new mall-friendly Florida quintet, Broadway. In our free tracks section, we’ve got one from the honey-voiced David Mead, “Two” (the track, not the number) from the haunting and anthemic Brooklynites The Antlers, their Frenchkiss labelmate Sean Bones, Trife Diesel (aka Trife Da God) and many more. Bubbling Up brings us Staten Island’s funkiest, the Budos Band, along with Danish darling Bird and some essential summer indie-pop from Generationals. As always there’s a ton more In Stores Now and Coming Soon, including Royce Da 5’9″, Assembly of Dust and DJ Spinna to name a few. Enjoy!
Once again we’re back with the latest and greatest in hip hop from The Orchard. In Stores Now we have the new releases from infamous lyricist and wordsmith Guru, new kids on the block Johnny Polygon and Fashawn, and the new album of Hip Hop veteran Grand Puba. Check out the new Dead Prez & The Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern album in our Featured Artists section below, and watch them discuss what it truly means to be gangsta Behind the Scenes. Rounding out the Featured Artist section is Wu-Tang’s own U-GOD, bringing us his third solo album, Dopium. For more Behind the Scenes action, take a trip with U-GOD to Frank’s Chop Shop where he gets a haircut and shares his philosophy on economic spending. For those itching to get their hands on new music right now, our Listen/Watch section has the latest MP3s and videos from Cage, Soulico, Grand Puba, Fashawn and Johnny Polygon. Grab them while they’re hot and browse through more new releases and upcoming albums below. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns (or just general praise…).

Welcome to this week’s Daily Rind Newsletter. Our Featured Artists section boasts the much buzzed about debut LP from Passion Pit, Manners, plus the sophomore gem, Still Night, Still Light, from indie pop sirens Au Revoir Simone. We’ve got some great new free tracks from recent Frenchkiss signings The Antlers, up and coming hip hop artist Fashawn, classic garage from Figures of Light and the soultastic sounds of Lee Fields. We also have two amazing videos for your viewing pleasure – the creepy new Cage cut (directed by Shia Labeouf) for “I Never Knew You,” and the fun (but also a little creepy) Passion Pit vid for Manners standout “The Reeling.” Two exciting new artists who grace our Bubbling Up section this week are The Builders and the Butchers and Sean Bones (along with the aforementioned Antlers), whose upcoming albums make for perfect summer soundtracks. And as always, there’s lots more In Stores Now and Coming Soon!
