Tapes n' Tapes on Conan Tonight

Tapes n' Tapes must be pretty busy.

They just released Walk It Off yesterday and tonight they will be on Conan O'Brien (check your local listings!). I was going to link to a review I thought Ed did, but apparently someone else did. And he said it sucked and despite me only listening through the album a handful of times I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.

You can't call Tapes n' Tapes an annoying band name either when 1. what? and 2. there's 100x worse band names out there. Does It Offend You, Yeah? anyone? I will link you to this Rolling Stone review because I couldn't find anything else.

Tomorrow the band kicks off a nice and long tour in Minneapolis and will actually be coming our way a bit.

4/17 - Paradise Rock Club - Boston, Mass.
4/18 - Fillmore New York - Irving Plaza - New York, NY
4/19 - Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn, NY

Tapes 'n Tapes Streaming Again

About a month ago we told you that the new Tapes 'n Tapes album, Walk it Off, was streaming for the day, but it looks like in anticipation of the album's April 8 release they have the whole thing up again.

You can find the whole album courtesy of MTVu here.

As I'm streaming it myself I can't help but hear something familiar. It might be The Shins. Who knows. You can also check our previous post about the band linked above to get a few dates nearby. Not too close, but close enough if you find yourself really into the album over the next couple weeks.

Edit: I hear some Modest Mouse too. Maybe that is it. Either way it's good.

Time Running Out On Tapes 'n Tapes Stream

You have until 2 p.m. tomorrow (if you're on the East Coast like us) to check out a full stream of the latest and greatest Tapes 'n Tapes album. The band's second album, Walk It Off, will be out on April 8th, but the limited stream and (oops) the leak allow for a sneak peak until then.

From what I've heard Tapes 'n Tapes return for another solid outing of indie rock with a slight psychedelic feel. I think of Band of Horses and Modest Mouse here, so if you need a reference use that one.

If you miss the stream, you can find "Hang Them All" on their MySpace or you can find them at a venue near you in April.

April 17 - Boston, Mass. - Paradise
April 18 - New York, NY - Irving Plaza
April 19 - Brooklyn, NY - Musical Hall
