Brother-and-sister duo Blondfire have been making music together since they were children. Now they've signed to Warner Bros. for their major label debut, Young Heart. It will feature "Waves," an acoustic track that highlights the pair's knack for dreamy melodies and electronic rhythms.

"This is our attempt at a dark disco sound," member Bruce Driscoll tells Rolling Stone. "The song talks about the ebb and flow of life and how all things good and bad come in waves."

Young Heart was recorded in a week at Bruce's home studio and Hollywood's Wax Studios. It was self-produced by him and sister Erica Driscoll and will be released in 2013.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
