Upchuck Drop Crashing Video

You’d be forgiven if you thought that Kim Deal was playing bass on this new Upchuck track, though you’d also be forgiven for completely sinking right into the track and falling in love. It’s a smart move, as I was totally sucked into the tune, then my hair got blown back as the drums rolled and singer KT let a throated-howl soar through my speakers. I love how it walks the line between edgy and spirited, sort of like a sly wink to the listener that the world may seem grim, but you can still have a kick ass time if you’ve got this tune as part of your soundtrack. Bite the Hand That Feeds is out on October 13th via Famous Class.

New Jam From Future Islands

I believe this new tune “Cotton Flowers” by Baltimore based outfit Future Islands has already been hitting the interwebs recently, but I wanted to share it anyway as a fan of the band.  The song is part of a 7″ series with the band’s label Famous Class Records which will benefit the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund.  So if you like the song, head over to the label site and purchase the 7″ with a flip side from Ed Schrader’s Music Beat.  Both are great songs.
