Guitar Pop from Pity Sex

pityI have a sneaking suspicion that this tune will get a lot of play on my list for the next few weeks.  It’s the perfect sort of guitar pop, using distorted guitars to  wrap the band’s pop sensibility in a gentle blanket of noise.  There’s even a nice balance between male and female counterparts in Pity Sex.  This song features on the group’s new split 7″ which they will be sharing with Adventures; it’s slated for a October 7th release via Run for Cover Records.  It’s a nice jam to wrap up your Friday listening.

New Post-Punk From Adventures

Leave a comment

adventuresIt’s incredibly rare that ATH posts much in the vein of this new song “Promise” by Pittsburgh based group Adventures.  I personally have nothing agains the post-punk genre, it just seems like we get a whole lot of garbage sent our way with that sonic tag.  This song is one I found myself immediately drawn to and have played on repeat at least 3-5 times while creating this post.  I hear this sort of mash up between more emo Rainer Maria and maybe super old school Taking Back Sunday.  Then things slow down from time to time and you’ve got that post-punk bass line bringing tying everything back together.  Recognize.

This tune appears on a new album, Clear My Head With You, out June 18th via No Sleep Records.
