Introducing The Birthdays

Leave a comment

Towards the end of last week, an announcement came out sharing news of a new musical project called The Birthdays featuring indie greats Jackson Phillips from Day Wave and Ben Grey from Dear Boy. As they are both ever growing stars in the indie scene, one would expect a collaboration to produce some interesting material, and their first single together, “Bunny”, does not disappoint. It has a very washed out, guitar pop vibe to it with a super slick bass line and tonally engaging guitars. Hopefully this is not the last we hear from this new project.

Driving New Single From Tennis System

Leave a comment

As you are checking out those sweet albums posted by Lankford this weekend, might I suggest you also add this new Tennis System tune to your playlists? The song, “Dizzy”, features this incredibly catchy mix of driving, washed out rock music with the piercing vocals of Matt Taylor. Having been a fan for many years, I can honestly say that this may be some of the best material we have heard from Taylor and his band. Check out now.

Tennis System is also releasing a new album this fall called Autophobia. Pre-orders with tons of other cool merch are live now.

Treeboy & Arc Announce New EP

Leave a comment

If anything good came out of Covid lockdowns, it has to be the slew of new music artists created during their long time stuck at home. Leeds based Treeboy & Arc were one of those busy groups during quarantine, having managed to record an entire EP of new material. The new extended player, Life Preserver, includes four new tracks of material with this lead single, “Role Models”, streaming prior to the full August 6th EP release date. I love how the track pushes what we might consider post-punk tendencies but with a more restrained approach to give it a very Devo meets Idles feel. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Life Preserver will be available on cassette and for digital download on August 6th. Pre-orders are live now.

New Banger From Grace Vonderkuhn

Leave a comment

Riding the high of their 2018 release Reveries, Wilmington based trio Grace Vonderkuhn just dropped a new single yesterday to further push their hype train forward. New track “Rock & Roll Gary” is a crazy catchy sort of garage rock throwback style tune which is sure to hit you in all the feels if you have a rocker’s soul. Maybe it will kickstart your morning on yet another gloomy summer day.

This track will be on the new Grace Vonderkuhn album Pleasure Pain releasing on August 13th via Sheer Luck Records.

Stream New Album From Old Moon

Leave a comment

New Hampshire based artist Tom Weir stayed incredibly busy during quarantine, putting out several short EPs and demos under his musical moniker Old Moon. Now halfway through 2021, Weir has just announced the release of his debut full length LP entitled Altars. It’s this crazy blend of post-punk grit mixed with an almost new wave sound which is completely unique and definitely worthy of your time.

Of course we’ve got it streaming for you below but you should also consider a purchase of the album digitally or in vinyl format via the fine folks at A La Carte Records.

Another Hit From Nightwatchers

Leave a comment

French based rockers Nightwatchers have really tuned my ear into their brand of punk rock with tons of melodic and poppy undertones. They released a stellar debut album entitled La Paix Ou Le Sable in 2019 and have already shared the impressive track “1905 & The Muslim Exception” earlier this summer. Today I am pumped to be one of the first to share with you the latest Nightwatchers single, “White Fathers”. Once again featuring some gnarly, almost growling vocals and an incredibly catchy rhythm, you really should be listening to this band if you are not currently. Start today and see what all my hype is about.

Nightwatchers will release this track as part of a new album entitled Common Crusades due out October 8th on Lovely Records.

Introducing: Lonely Guest

Leave a comment

As a part of the newly reformed and relaunched label False Idols, UK founder/rapper/producer Tricky has a new group called Lonely Guest to celebrate the event. Though you won’t know the band name, you’ll certainly recognize the voices of Idles front man Joe Talbot and frequent Tricky collaborator Marta on the groups debut single “Pre War Tension” found below. It’s a dark, slinky little number which focuses on the commanding presence of vocals from Talbot, Marta and even Tricky himself. After a few listens, you’ll definitely want to know what’s next from the label and if this is a precursor to further collabs.

Stream New EP From Low Horizon

Leave a comment

Houston based outfit Low Horizon came onto my radar a couple of years ago and I’ve been eagerly awaiting new music from the band ever since. Well now the trio are back with not just one, but three new tunes on a brand new EP of material entitled Two Days. The EP highlights the bands sort of old school, garage rock meets indie sound similar to bands like Sleater-Kinney or Built to Spill. I’ve been lucky enough to share the stream for you fans, and if you dig it, consider throwing them a few dollars over on bandcamp for a download. Viva la Texas!

Sludgy New Single From Mister Strange

Leave a comment

If you’re in the mood for something a bit heavier, might I suggest you check out this new single from Manchester based lads Mister Strange. The song “High Heel Heavy” features this sludgy, kinda dirty, yet bright somehow, take on the garage rock genre. This one would be perfect if you’re into things like Fuzz, Thee Oh Sees, or Wand. You can stream the song below or via other platforms as a part of the band’s recent signing to Pnkslm.
