Food Will Win The War, friends of Hip Folk, brought new songs and a reignited energy last night at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory. One of their biggest headliners yet, Rob Ward led the rising band to a solid, tight set with immeasurable energy between Food and the audience. 4 picks dropped and 1 broken string later, Ward had a birthday show to remember! Check out the amateur video below from last night, by Broke MC. Photo by Broke MC.

It's well known that I'm a messianic follower of Modest Mouse, so the Hip Folk staff flew out to Chicago this weekend to party hard with the 54,000 music lovers in Union Park.

Hip Folk's favorite Pitchfork shows so far:

1) MODEST MOUSE - straight old school material
2) Broken Social Scene - brings me back to 8th grade...
3) Tallest Man on Earth - give love to my Swedish side
and...
4) Sharon Van Etten - kicked off Friday's event by haunting us with her melancholy, beautiful songs.

Jake Weary (of The Mother Funk Ya's) and leader of the collaboration band Landlord (Weary & Groundislava) is on top of his game. I don't say this too often, but this guy is going to be huge. His debut mixtape, "The Hard Love Mixtape" will be available FREE on Hip Folk very, very soon. It's hard to specify his genre, so I'd say he's a mix of electronic/hip-hop/dub-step with a Los Angeles electro-pop-scene aura.

If You Don't Know Walker, You're Not Paying Attention



Download iLOVE MUSIC free here!

Justin Walker is a native of the great Charm City. He has always been a creative person, however music has always been the best way for him to express himself creatively. Inspired by musicians new and old Justin draws on a wide array of musical genres to shape his current sound. From hard core electronic to old school soul music, You can definitely hear the musical "buffet" he serves to his listeners.

Coming from Baltimore, Justin's background is completely responsible for such an eclectic kid. He was able to see both sides of the socioeconomic spectrum and in turn soak up many different cultures. At the bottom of it all music is meant to evoke some sort of emotion, and what better way to bring people together than a party.

The Pregame is Justin's first effort to submerge people into his world which is a never ending fiesta. Riddled with the eclectic sound that defines him, Justin incorporates remixes of his favorite artists and bands to create a collage of sound that will be the signature of Justin W.

Hip Folk Records will be printing Justin's "Pregame" and will be available for free digital download and CD very soon. ]]> Simon 87 Fri, 28 May 2010 20:57:05 +0100 http://www.hipfolkinc.com
