Another Gem From Superviolet

Leave a comment

As we are now a few months into the year, Steven Ciolek’s new project superviolet is quickly becoming one of my top releases of 2023 so far. Already we heard the sort of twangy, Neil Young inspired song “Big Songbirds Don’t Cry” and now we’ve got this new track “Locket” to further move along the new music hype train. This one still shows those aforementioned inspirations, but then also throws in loads more pop rock sounds along with the songwriter twang. It’s a gem.

Superviolet’s new album Infinite Spring is due out on April 21st via Lame-O Records.

Sam Blasucci Shares Sha La La

Leave a comment

Though the name Sam Blasucci may not ring a bell, his underground, L.A. based project Mapache should surely be something you’re familiar with. Well Blasucci recently decided to step out on his own and has a debut album entitled Oh My Stars coming out on June 2nd via Innovative Leisure. Prior to that release date, we are delighted to share this new single called “Sha La La” for your listening pleasure. It features this lovely, sort of jazz inspired take on neo-soul with acoustic guitar solos and an overall groovy vibe. Hit play and enjoy.

Twangy New Tune From Superviolet

Leave a comment

Steven Ciolek is a guy you probably know from his time as the leading man for Cleveland based indie band The Sidekicks. What you may not know, is that Ciolek has since stepped out on his own for a solo project under the musical title superviolet. Of course we aren’t ones to just share news without some tunes to listen to while reading, so here also is the latest single from superviolet “Big Songbirds Don’t Cry.” I am immediately seeing some early Neil Young inspiration here in the songwriting style paired with a super twangy acoustic guitar for an overall subdued yet powerful tune.

You can get your hands on the new superviolet LP Infinite Spring on April 21st via Lame-O Records.

Emotive New Single From Waveform*

Leave a comment

I needed a little longer to recover from that lil festival thing we had going on a couple weeks ago, but I think I’ve finally found a new tune to awake me from my hangover. My “reawakening” comes from the Connecticut based duo waveform* and their new single called “Firework”. At first it has a very shoegazy, heavy on effects sound, but then this loud and super powerful guitar comes in to give it a hint of 90s grunge rock creating loads of engaging and dramatic crescendos.

This track is coming on a new album entitled Antarctica due out on May 12th via Run For Cover Records.

Cucamaras Share Cotton Wool

Leave a comment

While I was busy running around town last week, some tunes certainly slipped through the cracks that are definitely worthy of mentioning. One such track is this new one called “Cotton Wool” from Nottingham based outfit Cucamaras. It is definitely a bit of reserved yet poignant garage rock with clear inspirations from Arctic Monkeys or even some of the slower ballads from The Strokes. The progression of the song from start to finish is simply lovely.

Cucamaras will release this track as part of a new EP entitled Buck Rogers Time coming in May.

Your friendly neighborhood ATH staff kicked off our SXSW yesterday with the recently reborn ATH vs. Side One Track One party at Hotel Vegas in East Austin.

Meet The SXSW Band: Fishbone

Leave a comment
We have finally arrived at the end of our SXSW interview previews and we saved maybe the biggest and most well known act for last. Los Angeles based Fishbone has been making music for longer than most of us on the ATH crew have been alive and we were elated when the legends agreed to take part in our silliness. Huge thanks to the band and to their team for allowing this to happen. That’s a wrap. Hit the jump for all the usual information.
