Austin’s Mugger Share New Single

Leave a comment

Stop me if you’ve heard this before… But boy do I get tired of the “Austin’s music scene is dead” narrative which continually comes up in this town. It’s not dead. Things change. Evolve. I say this to tell those naysayers to keep their eyes and ears open, and to check out this new slayer called “Want the World” from Austin’s own Mugger. The group features some of the major players in our thriving scene, featuring members from both TV’s Daniel and The Well, plus a myriad of other local groups. You simply must check out this hardcore gem below and also consider a purchase of the band’s new EP. They’ve got some slick looking vinyl copies coming on October 24th.

Shy Boys Return!

Leave a comment

Many of us considered Kansas City’s finest Shy Boys to sort of be done with the music game as we had not heard anything from them in 5+ years. Pleasant surprises are always welcome though, and today’s news of a new single from the lads was sheer delight. And yeah, this new single “Upperclassmen” is an absolute banger of a track, showing a heaviness we’ve never seen before from the band’s output. Hell yeah. We make assumption that more is on the way, but of course we will keep you posted when more news heads our way.

Another One From Ghostwoman

Leave a comment

Our pals from north of the border GHOSTWOMAN have a remarkable new album coming out tomorrow and it definitely should be on your list of things to pick up and listen to over the weekend. As you anticipate the one day waiting period, the band just offered up one more tease in the form of this hot single called “5 Gold Pieces.” This duo is truly crafting some downright dirty vibes with heavily distorted guitars, frantic drums, and an overall feeling of urgent, distorted blues rock. Hit me with more of this.

The new GHOSTWOMAN album, Welcome to the Civilized World, arrives tomorrow via Full Time Hobby. Get your copy now!

One More Hit From Glimmer

Leave a comment

It seems like this might be THE year for NYC based band Glimmer, as they seem to be slow dropping hits in anticipation of their debut LP in October. Having already released the tracks “Buired,” along with Sludgy number “Sorrow Again,” and it’s like, hey now guys, you can’t be releasing all these hits in one year! Of course, they press on, building excitement again with this new single called “Slow Saturday.” For me, the best description comes straight from the band, calling it “grungegaze” mixing in the noise of legends like J&MC with more current, gazey grunge groups like Nothing or Catcher. Love this stuff.

You can now pre-order the debut LP from Glimmer entitled Get Weak directly from their bandcamp page.

Premiere: Living Hour Share Waiter

Leave a comment

Over the years, with everything we cover and talk about, a handful of bands sort of become those “ATH groups” who get covered consistently over a span of many years. Winnipeg’s Living Hour is one of those “approved” groups who first hit our pages nearly TEN years ago! Naturally, the band has never slowed down and have a stellar new album called Internal Infinity Drone due out on October 17th via pals Keeled Scales and Paper Bag Records. Prior to the full release, you simply must check out this new gem “Waiter,” which is sure to liven up your ear holes. We heart you Living Hour.

Pre-orders are now live for the new album!

Flypaper Back With A Gem

Leave a comment

Rory Sear’s new solo project under the moniker flypaper came onto our radar in the spring of last year with the release of his debut EP Other Orbit. Well now Sear is back again this year with his much anticipated debut full length called Forget the Rush, which of course comes with new tunes to enjoy. This new joint “Oh Well,” is what I would call a true gem in the indie folk or indie songwriter genre. It shows this tuned in knack for crafting songs with personal lyrics and expertly timed hints of pop undertones. Lovely.

You can pre-order your copy of Forget the Rush now. It’s out on November 7th via PNKSLM records.

 

Flock of Dimes Back With a Stunner

Leave a comment

Jenn Wasner is on a short list for me as one of those songwriters who can truly do no wrong in my mind, whether it’s with her mainstay Wye Oak or her solo project Flock of Dimes. The combination of her soothing voice and intimate approach to folk influence pop has always held a personal place in my soul. Today Wasner has this lovely new tune called “Long After Midnight” ready for all you fans under her FOD solo moniker. It’s just so dreamy. When the slide kick in about halfway through, so good.

This track is part of a new Flock of Dimes album entitled The Life You Save which is due out October 10th on Sub Pop. Pre-orders are live.

New Alt-Rock Jam From Thistle.

Leave a comment

While we were closed up on Friday for some holiday, Northampton based upstarts thistle. released this bangin’ new single called “it’s nice to see you, stranger” and I had to share it this morning. It has a groovy, sort of alt-rock grungy vibe to it, loaded with fuzzed out guitars and subdued vocals. Noisy, a tad hazy – love it. If you’re into it, the band has a new 5 song EP of the same name which you can stream on bandcamp now. Physical copies of the release are currently up for pre-order now via Venn Records.

Dreamy New Tune From Deleterolf

Leave a comment

Things will likely be a bit slow this week as people shut ease into a holiday weekend on Friday. Before then, we of course have a few songs to throw your way for mid-week and weekend vibing. Though it’s early yet, this new track called “Used to Be” from Zurich based artist deleterolf is my frontrunner for your track of the week. It has a super dreamy, yet driving vibe to it an gives off the quiet beauty of say Efterklang mixed with Beach House. I am sure you’ll love it.

Glimmer Drop Another Hit

Leave a comment

New York based group Glimmer has been slowly releasing hit after hit over the last couple of years or so. Today we’ve been notified that a debut album is finally coming sometime this fall, which will feature this new jam “Sorrow Again.” It’s a sludgy, grungy gem of a tune and I will seriously start questioning your tastes if you don’t like or have yet to discover this band. We’ll keep you posted as deets trickle in on the new album, but in the meantime, enjoy this one.
