New Annabelle Chairlegs Jam

Leave a comment

Long have we all been fans of Annabelle Chairlegs, and this week Lindsey Mackin and company announced their brand new record for upstart label Todo! The song is a poppy bit of garage rock, with the help of Ty Segall to make sure the balance in the mix is perfect. When you watch the video, the snappiness and joy of the song is clearly apparent in the video; it looks like Lindsey had an absolute blast making it, matching up with the sonic energy coming through your speakers. We promise you’ll not find a more fun jam to crank up today, and be on the lookout for Waking Up in January of next year.

Please to Meet You: Hush

Leave a comment

You can always depend on the Montreal scene to deliver creative pop music that leans just left of the dial, and today, we’re introducing ourselves (and maybe you) to Hush. Their debut single operates with this naturally propulsive vibe, locked in by this biting bit of percussive pop and this delicate bit of jangle on the guitar. Guitars fade a bit, moving into this sort of synthetic pop realm that’s as delighting as it is futuristic pop. When all the elements begin to swirl together, it’s easy to find yourself marveling at the sounds echoing through your headphones. Hoping we get to hear more from the trio in the new year!

The Planes Drop New Jams

Leave a comment

When it comes to my bread and butter in my record collection, I’ll own up to being kind of a basic bitch; I love good old pop rock vibes, with just sprinkles of punk flair…and that’s right whee The Planes caught me with their new set of jams. Initially, I thought I heard some early-era Weakerthans, but the way the guitars embraced a slight little jangle had me completely hooked on the group’s alt rock leanings. They take that to the bunch when they lay down crunchy riffs and explosiveness in the chorus, all of it leading to a smashing hook that’ll have you turning this track up all weekend long! If you love it, check out their Motel for Lightning Bug EP.

Fran Carlyon Shares New Music

Leave a comment

If you’re not living in Texas where there’s two seasons, Summer and Longer Summer, you might be looking to cuddle of in a blanket and find a little solace from the Fall weather changes; you’ll need some easy listening, and we couldn’t think of a better way than to settle in with two new track from Fran Carlyon. The UK songwriter just shared a few new songs before heading into the Winter season to hole up and write a whole record (or that’s what we’re thinking), and the gentleness will help you find your footing. On the opening single of the two tunes, you encounter a quiet strum, with nothing but Fran’s voice guiding you; leaving the tune so open allows you to just immerse yourself in the quieted melody, sinking deep within the song and Fran’s storytelling. Hoping he comes back with a brilliant LP in 2026.

Hit Release Pure Unreal Single

Leave a comment

When you roll how we roll, you’re obviously going to miss a few things, as I’ve already copped to this week, but I really did love this new Hit single that dropped the other day. The New York outfit is working on polishing off a new record, slated for early 2026 release, and this tune definitely piqued my interest; there were elements that reminded me of Pains of Being Pure at Heart, especially in the chorus. That said, they take a more kind of open psychedelic approach to the vibe, rather than diving into the jangling side. Dive into the new single and keep the group on your radar for next year!

Brutalligators Announce Still Here

Leave a comment

A few weeks back we tossed up a new tune from Brutalligators, hinting that the UK outfit were on their way with new music. Today, they drop another banger, with the news that they’ll be releasing Still Here with legendary label Fika Recordings. Their sound has a lot of similarities to the current pop punk scene in the States, using these gritty guitars to build up and deliver a punchy hook in the chorus, not unlike recent hits from Joyce Manor and the like. Just in case you were seeking something with a little more volume in your listening today, now you’ve got my permission. Still Here is out on November 21st.

The Melody Chamber Release New Single

Leave a comment

When I think upon new music, it’s easy to see where a lot of artists are coming from, pulling from this genre and that, but in a modern fashion. That said, you can usually place those tracks in certain eras or time frames, but listening to The Melody Chamber (sans the Echo), you get a timelessness, a sound that blends pop form the ages up until now. You’ll definitely notice some of the softened jangles, encircling your ears with this bright melody, then visiting you with this blanketed vocal warmth that has given the group some Psychedelic Furs comparisons. It’s the sort of music you can turn on any time, and any day, always relishing the charm. Their self-titled debut album will be out on November 7th via HHBTM and Too Good to Be True.

Optic Sink Share Construction

Leave a comment

I hate that I’m not on a dancefloor this morning, as nothing would be better than cranking this Optic Sink tune up and just punching the air in pure unadulterated joy. While I’m enjoying the dense club grooves, particularly that thumping bass buried deep, I also adore the way they walk the line of their punk roots too. It’s not a sort of played-out post-punk, but rather a refreshing club hit with a bit of a disaffected punk vocals thrown atop it. The propulsion is a tad slowed too, which gives off that solo dance vibe, allowing you to just lose your body in the best way possible. Their new album Lucky Number is out on October 31st via Feel It Records.

Sweet Nobody Drop Forget Me

Leave a comment

Through their first few handfuls of singles, the folks in Sweet Nobody have been turning out really charming pop rock, but today they make their boldest statement with “Forget Me.” I was first caught by the confidence and power of the vocals, hitting some notes that fall between Sharon Van Etten and Jenny Lewis. But, cementing the power of the vocal hook is the way they build up the tune, using stuttering riffs to kind of add tension to the track, then rolling out the red carpet for the melody to walk right up and blow you away. If pop rock is your bag, there’s not better you’ll here today. They release Driving Off to Nowhere on November 7th via Repeating Cloud.
