Sheer Mag Share Eat It and Beat It Video

Leave a comment

For years folks praised Sheer Mag, and with their signing to Third Man for their third LP, we’re expecting waves of adoration to wash ashore. For my two cents, I love the latest single, particularly the growl of the guitars, a missing link to that period of early American punk circa the New York Dolls. Tina Halladay has this bit of brattiness to her vocals too, adding that feeling of a band really pushing back against any and all expectations; they don’t give a damn what you think, they just came to lay down some rock n’ roll. But, they needn’t worry, with songs like this folks are going to be all over Playing Favorites; it drops on March 1st.

David Nance & Mowed Sound Share Tumbleweed

Leave a comment

Omaha based musician came out of the gate strong in 2024 with his new single “Mock The Hours” with his new band David Nance & Mowed Sound. While that song really cranked up the twang and country rock vibes, this latest single called “Tumbleweed” takes things down a peg for a more subtle approach. It features some delicate guitar plucking along with lovely vocal harmonies and an overall sense of beauty. Dig it below.

This track is part of a self-titled album due out on February 9th via Third Man Records. Pre-orders are live.

Twangy New Single From David Nance & Mowed Sound

Leave a comment

Nathan and I were ironically just chatting about modern country and Southern rock the other day as we prepped a playlist for a DJ night. Outside of a few locals we love, the genres have seemingly hit a downturn with few quality sounds coming out. Today Omaha based artist David Nance and his new project, David Nance & Mowed Sound, has something to say about our opinions with this twangy new number called “Mock the Hours.” The song straight up cooks with a southern inspiration and a breakneck pace throughout. Slams.

David’s new project will release this track as part of a self-titled album due out on February 9th via Third Man Records. Pre-orders are live.

Snooper Drop Running Video

Leave a comment

As I ease back into consistent posting here, it only makes sense that I drop in with this brand new Snooper video. We’ve previously covered the group’s singles from their forthcoming LP, and while those pieces have been short and frantic, this new single allows for the band to build on their sound, expanding the sound as guitars feud and criss-cross, all while the rhythm section drives the listener forward. Their knack for tying in the artistic side to their sound also serves the band well here, with the video illustrating just how much attention they pay to every little detail. Super Snooper drops this Friday via Third Man Records.

Snooper Share Powerball Video

Leave a comment

After catching the band live during one of their great SXSW sets, I’m really looking forward to hearing how the whole of the new Snooper record comes together. Their latest single is a pummeling piece of noisy art punk, filled with screaming guitars and thundering drums, while the vocals operate in this robotic mantra detailing the narrator’s view on this week’s powerball lottery. For me, the interesting thing about listening to Snooper is their ability to musically edge the listener; they take the tension all the way to the max point, then just drop out, letting you finish or move on to the next song, which we’ll get to do when we pick up Super Snooper. The new LP is out July 14th via Third Man Records.

Snooper Share Fitness Video

Leave a comment

Having landed on Pitchfork’s Most Anticipate Summer Albums List, Snooper are ready to take on the world, and what better way than include a little “Fitness” in their routine. This is one of the band’s earliest songs, appearing on an early 7″ from 2021, but it’s been touched up a bit for their forthcoming Super Snooper LP. This video feels exactly like what we witnessed at SXSW: pros, humor and furious riffs ringing through the PA. Everything is at breakneck speed; it’s like they’re challenging you to keep pace…and if not, then “lift weights.” Fast, furious, fun…Super Snooper is out on July 14th via Third Man Records.

Island of Love Share I’ve Got the Secret

Leave a comment

Try listening to Island of Love and imagining them as anything other than a Southern American band channeling classic alternative rock with a bit of attitude. But, the band are from London, so they’re far removed from the history of blending some of the sounds you’re going to here in their latest single, making this new drop all the more likeable. You’ll hear some of that swampy blues style in the guitar work the instant you press play, but they add in a bit of tenacity that really makes the whole of the tune seem refreshing. There’s no frills, but it’s all flare, so keep an eye out for their debut self-titled LP from Third Man Records on May 12th.

Snooper Announces Super Snooper LP

Leave a comment

I would like to formally apologize to Snooper as we’re currently too cheap to pay for the tilde key on general posts. But, I won’t apologize for my love of the band, who I raved about having caught a few delicious SXSW sets. They donned windbreaker tracksuits, which, having now heard the single from their debut LP, makes complete sense, as I’d like congratulate the band on being the first athleti-punks. Sure, other groups have played frantic tunes, but here, you feel as if you’re running full steam; the rhythm’s punishingly furious, and the vocals are like sharp inhales as your body begins to lose oxygen. Those guitar lines dashing through are like bonus points you get each time you pass someone on your way to a musical victory. I can’t wait until we get to hear the whole of Super Snooper, out July 14th via Third Man Records.

Gentleman Jesse Shares Protecting Nothing

Leave a comment

When we began this blog back in the day, I covered Gentleman Jesse quite a bit; his work as a power pop revisionist had my attention from the start, and I felt like Leaving Atlanta was tragically overlooked. So, here we are a good ten years later, and Jesse Smith returns; he quietly dropped Lose Everything last Fall, and now there’s a brand new EP he’s working on for Third Man Records. The EP features a cover of “True” by Atlanta band the Fans, as well as this stomping ripper co-written with Greg Oblivion. Grab the Compass EP over HERE.

ATH Premiere: New Single from Video

Leave a comment

videoAustin’s Video signing to Third Man Records might have come as a surprise to many, but what shouldn’t surprise you is how incredibly strong the band actually is at this point. Their “New Immortals” single had this huge power-pop feel, but in some way, it still felt rather dangerous. The B-Side, which is a live version of “Nothing Lasts Forever” brings on a barrage of noise and high-speed energy, punishing your ears in the best way. Singer Daniel Fried unleashes his best snarl through your speakers; he does so with such ferocity that one likely sees it as a call to incite a riot (in an orderly fashion; I don’t condone violence). Their full LP, The Entertainers, will be out via the label on October 30th, but you can grab the 7″ featuring this B-Side right HERE.

The band will be playing a release show too on October 28th over at Beerland.
