The GOA Express Share Second Time Video

Leave a comment

Listening to this new GOA Express tune, there’s all sort of reasons to fall in love with it, and honestly, I’m not sure what I’m quite fawning over. Those light jangling guitars give me just the right dose of guitar pop; they’re crisp but sedate too, so they kind of leave all this room for the vocals to sort of shimmy in and out. Speaking of those vocals, there’s this great familiarity to them, and while I’m currently unable to place them, they definitely reek of 90s Britpop, something I’ll never shy away from. Touch of nostalgia, touch of pop…now all you need is a touch to your wallet to pre-order the band’s new 7″ dropping in June via Ra Ra Rok.

Hooked On This Weird Milk

Leave a comment

There’s always been something in the British waters, and music, that have gotten to me. I’m especially keen on the country’s pop breeding ground, which is where I find Weird Milk fitting in. They employ some sharp guitar cuts, and the melodic vocal approach reminds me a lot of mid-career Mystery Jets…that’s my favorite period of that band. This is the band’s first proper single, and it’ll be released by Ra Ra Rok Records on March 24th, but stream the jam below; it’s okay to embrace good pop music folks.
