Los Angeles-based indie rock favorite Meg Myers has released a new music video for the track “Lemon Eyes,” the second single from her debut full-length album Sorry, which was released just last month.

“Lemon Eyes” is about jealousy and paranoia, according to a tweet of Meg’s featuring the link to the video. We caught her at Life is Beautiful Festival a few weeks back in downtown Las Vegas — one of the first shows on her latest tour — and she returns to LA on Tuesday, November 17 at the El Rey Theatre.

The new music video from Ryn Weaver for her song “Traveling Song” should come with a NSFW disclaimer — because nobody wants to cry when sitting at their desk at work.

Having seen Weaver perform live a number of times (from SXSW to Coachella to Bonnaroo), an emotional moment always comes in the form of her performing “Traveling Song.” Weaver details the loss of her grandfather Max, who died on Jan. 1 this year. Weaver nearly breaks down in tears every time I’ve seen her perform it, and when looking around at the crowd, almost everyone’s eyes are welled up.

In 2012, The Vaccines conquered their native England, rising to No. 1 on the charts there off the strength of the full-length The Vaccines Come of Age. They’ve given a preview of what’s in store on their upcoming yet-to-be-named release with a music video of their new track “Handsome.”

You can think of The Vaccines as the UK’s answer to OK GO. It looks as though these West London lads even make music videos as awesome as OK GO. In the video for “Handsome,” they play off the kung-fu genre with a comedic story-arc that sees the band train to become masters at fighting after getting their asses handed to them by some weird alien-fish monster and his crew. Another alien-fish monster thing trains them the ways.

I’ve been fortunate enough to hear The Preatures perform their new single “Somebody’s Talking” three times this year. The downside is that it’s made the anticipation of the single’s release nearly become the end of me.

Luckily, not only has the single officially dropped, but the Sydney, Australia rockers have also pushed out a video for the bangin’ jam out. Singer Isabella Manfredi is the second coming of Chrissie Hynde and this song and video only validates that opinion even more.
