Heart To Gold Return With TNT

Leave a comment

Minneapolis based outfit Heart to Gold really came onto my radar around this time last year with their stunner of a single “Chloe.” Since then, I’ve spent some time delving into the bands back catalogue and you can now consider me a full on follower and supporter. Adding to their ever growing library of hits comes this new song “TNT” which continues the heavy Minnesota based post-punk meets alt themes which really got me into the group in the first place. Gonna be hitting repeat on this one all morning long.

This track is part of the new Heart to Gold album entitled Free Help due out November 15th via Memory Music. Pre-orders are live now.

New Hit From Prim

Leave a comment

It’s always nice when we are perusing the new music scene to come across a band who can still rock a bit. That’s just what you can expect prior to listening to this new tune “Golden Tooth” from the Seattle upstarts Prim. Staying true to their cities past, the song has a very alt-rock vibe to it paired with snarling vocals and shiny guitar solos. Take this one with you for your weekend party starter.

This track is part of Prim’s debut LP entitled Move Too Slow which is out on September 6th via Sunday Drive Records. Pre-orders be live now!

New Banger From Brontez Purnell Trio

Leave a comment

Brontez Purnell is a guy who is hard to pin down artistically as he traverses all types of musical genres along with both dancing and writing. His latest comes by way of his trio of sorts featuring this new single “If You Can’t Help Me” which takes an old gospel standard and gives it a garage pop twist. The bass on this one is a particular stand out with some heavy distortion and an almost nasty vibe to it ala TV on the Radio. I am sure you will dig it below.

This track is a B-side to a new single release featuring “Forgive Me, Phillip” on the flip.

Cryogeyser Release Sorry

Leave a comment

It has been nearly three years since we last heard from L.A. based band Cryogeyser with their album timetetheredtogether from 2021. Today the group have returned in full force with this stunner of a reintroduction called “Sorry.” I think you’ll find it plays lightly between darker, grungy elements and delicate pieces of dreamy pop at the same time. I’m finding it to be a nice wake up call on this slow moving Monday morning. Stay tuned for more details on what is hopefully more singles.

Check Out This New One From Wings of Desire

Leave a comment

Apologies for my long absence and extended vacation as I stumble my way back into existence and posting some new tunes. Lots of new tracks came our way this morning, but this one called “Forgive and Forget (Reprise)” from UK based Wings of Desire hit me the hardest. Though I just returned from a long road trip, this tune makes me want to hit the open road again with a driving force and slight hints of Americana. Top track of the week for me.

Wings of Desire plan to release this as part of a new EP entitled Shut Up & Listen which is due out on August 30th. Pre-orders are live now.

Levitation Lineup & Tickets 2024

Leave a comment

We have long been singing the praises of Levitation Festival as the absolute best music festival in town. The lineup always trends towards things we dig, the venues are mostly killer, and the ease of hopping from venue to venue can’t be beat. Things are going down again in late October/Early November and we are super pumped to share out the stellar lineup with breakdown by day. Once again, the lineup stands out as tops with a little something for everyone – indie stalwarts like The Drums and Death Valley Girls, electronic beats from Tycho and Washed Out, and of course local legends like Black Angels, The Sword and even The Jesus Lizard! Full lineup is over on that fancy poster or via the Levitation 2024 website. It’s sure to be another great time. Tickets are on sale now.

Dylan Rockwell Shares False Dawn

Leave a comment

It’s a bright sunny day here in Austin, TX and I am enjoying a playlist of some mellow tunes as I ease into the hot morning. As I click through some new tunes, this track called “False Dawn” by the Washington D.C. based songwriter Dylan Rockwell hit me in the feels this morning. It’s such a delicate piece of songwriting with so many moments of sheer beauty packed in to the short 2.5 minutes. Gives off a very Youth Lagoon meets Jesse Merchant type vibe and I am here for all of it. Stay tuned for more.

Another Hit From Bad Moves

Leave a comment

Nathan and I were both pumped when D.C. based outfit Bad Moves mad a triumphant return back in April of this year. They are such an easy band to root for with catchy indie rock/pop jams and a genuine feel good vibe from all of their music. This new track “Hallelujah” dropped this morning, and of course it simply had to be shared and played on repeat. Again, this band is so easy to get behind and I straight can’t see how you wouldn’t love the energy from this song. Please do stream it below.

Bad Moves will release this track as part of a new album entitled Wearing Out the Refrain which will drop on September 13th via Don Giovanni Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Show Preview: Vicente Solarzano Benefit @ Coral Snake (6.15)

Leave a comment

Summertime in Austin sees a ramp up with shows, especially indoor ones, going on all over town. One we think you should check out is a benefit for local musician Vicente Solarzano happening at Coral Snake on Saturday. Things kick off at 7pm and go till late with a slew of local talent gracing the stage for only $10 at the door. The lineup if loaded, but this seems like a solid time to highlight local up and comers Mikky & The Doom who just released their debut EP Garbage, USA. You can stream that 3 songer on Bandcamp and/or check out the title track below. Definitely a band to watch and put on your local radar.

For more information on how you can help out Vicente, check out the Gofund Me set up for his cause. Hope to see you at the show!

One More Milly Jam

Leave a comment

You’ve probably read my praise for Los Angeles based Milly and the new music they’ve been pushing out this year. It should come as no surprise then that when they dropped this brand new track “Bittersweet Mary,” I had to share it with all my reader friends. While I still pick up on the post-emo vibe, I’m also getting these hints of like mid to late 90s alt-rock akin to maybe Silverchair or similar bands. Who knows, maybe I am way off base. Either way, you should check it out below and enjoy.

You should of course pre-order the new Milly album Your Own Beginning from Dangerbird Records. It drops on July 28th.
