Lady Gaga, “The Fame”

Snazzy synths are paired with rich vocals to poke fun at being famous – while kind of being in love with the idea of it. Catch her at tonight at Highline Ballroom.

Anberlin, “Breaking”

Crescendo guitar strains quickly give way to an excellently crashing rock tune that belies its emo-like theme of broken hearts and heartbreakers.

The Republic Tigers, “Fight Song”

The indie-rock group is pretty, breezy and haunting all at the same time on this track featured on the new “Gossip Girl” soundtrack, “OMFGG No. 1.”

Uh Huh Her, “Not a Love Song”

The LA synth-pop duo gets hyped up and ’80s retro-happy on the lead single off “Common Reaction.” The band is at Irving Plaza tomorrow.

There for Tomorrow, “No More Room To Breathe”

Emo-rock isn’t dead yet, proved by this catchy and plaintive track from the Florida band’s self-titled EP. They’re at Webster Hall tomorrow.
