Tape/Off Share Paris, Texas Queensland Single
Wanted to start the morning off right, and what better way than to drop in this great new single from Brisbane’s Tape/Off. As the song begins, you can soak up that sort of lackadaisical brand of ramshackle pop, the sort the Aussie region holds in high regards. That part was kicking ass, but then they throw in a plot twist, taking more of a post-hardcore lean into the latter half, even giving just the faintest vocal growl to build the momentary angst. In retrospect, the song’s all about the way it builds that tension, playfully letting you settle into the vibe until it unleashes a big burst of enthusiasm to wrap it all up!
Pretty sure our coverage crushed it this last week; I think there was one day where we covered ten songs in a single day! But, I’m about to end my summer break, so don’t expect that too much more. Alas, we had album shout outs for Blood, Male Gays, Aaberg, True Optimist and Teenage Tom Petties. Some of my favorite acts returned to the fold, like the Smashing Times and Pop Filter…Young Scum had a new jam, but it’s not streaming yet. Big hits from Chimers, The Gabys and the Softies kept us busy…and always nice to have a Chime School tune too! Enjoy the streams of last week’s jams!
You know we’re nearing the fall when records start to come fast and furious, and we hit up another Friday with tons of really great releases for folks to pick out…and as usual, most of these have been discussed in detail on this here site. So, no need to go into too much detail, but we’re pretty sure that we’ve got albums for all your moods…so just dive right in, and be sure to grab the ones you love to support the bands/labels.
As we continue to push out big bops today, this

I’ll admit, I had Chime School’s next LP in the running for best jangle pop record of the year, but, they better be looking over their shoulder, as
