The video for The Alpine's latest single "Trigger" is now online: http://www.g-boy-t.com/alpine/triggersmall.mov

The Alpine's new single is for the song "Trigger". I've said it before and I'll say it again: this band is totally my summer jam. Seriously fun, good-time music.

RockFreaks reviews The Alpine: http://www.rockfreaks.net/index.php?page=albumreviews&id=198
I don't understand how anyone cannot love "No I in team", but otherwise I agree that it's a fine record.

MP3: The Alpine - No I in team

Warning: Do not download today's new song. It will haunt you. You will wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night with the lyrics of the chorus screaming in your brain. It's already too late for me, but you - you still have time. Beware!

The Alpine - No I in team

I know it's only Thursday, but I'm going to post a new mp3 anyways. I'm doing it because I'm taking a four-day weekend and won't be posting new content tomorrow or Monday, but also because I've got a glut of great music that I want to share. Denmark's The Alpine has a bit of that hip post-punk-disco thing akin to Franz Ferdinand and the like, but with more of a glam touch ala The Killers or maybe even The Ark. It's not the kind of thing you listen to for intellectual stimulation, but if you heard on the radio or at a party, you'd probably find yourself smiling and singing along. I've only given the new full-length "On feel trips" (out in Denmark on Feb. 27, Germany on Mar. 31) a couple spins so far, but the single "Mondays look the same" is firmly embedded in my brain after a week of listening. That chorus is just so huge! And who doesn't relate to the lyrics? That's pop gold, lemme tell ya. I can easily see The Alpine being this year's summer jam.
