Bleached Strike Again!

Leave a comment

12471348_959204584127145_6166781260372655284_oBleached are really on a roll– the video and track they released a little while back for “Keep On Keepin’ On” caught our attention and has brought us back for repeated listening. Now, they’ve got another single/delightful music video for “Wednesday Night Melody,” which is a Weekend at Bernie’s-classic short story featuring the members of the band. The music video is enough of a treat for you, but then you add in the great track and the band’s hit a sweet spot. The song has got a great laid back beat to it while still packing a punch of that rock and roll in the huge sound of the guitars. Take a listen and watch below and lookout for Welcome The Worms, out via Dead Oceans on April 1st.

12523905_1071124466266040_3358321871532390169_nA small dose of garage rock a day keeps the doctor away…at least that’s what I’ve been told by medical professionals around the world. Today’s daily dose of garage greatness comes in the delightful form of ATH favorite’s Purling Hiss. The band’s just released a new EP, Something, which you can stream below and also buy over at their bandcamp for a steal of 4$. Once you press play on the EP, you’ll be greeted by a plethora of fuzz and lo-fi goodness. Of course, there’s also those guitars that pack a bit of jangle, and the presence of tambourine to top it all off. Take a listen.

Another Andy Ferro Tune

Leave a comment

andyDon’t think I’m just stuck over here listening to dream pop all day. There’s a special spot in my daily listening reserved for the like of Andy Ferro, offering a blend of folk and classic rock. Ferro’s definitely been on our radar lately, as he’s nearing the release of Muirhead (2.26). This tune’s right up my alley, bringing a bare-bones folk-inspired tune to my ears; I like the fact that it feels so stripped down, providing the intimacy one doesn’t always find in the modern musical landscape. Looking for something personal and quiet? This here is your tune!

Stream the New Velcro Album

Leave a comment

velcroIn case you didn’t hear how happy we were to help with the Ocean Party LP last year…we were, we really were. But, the long story is that I came to the band by way of Curtis W, the man behind Velcro, and one of the core members of OP. He just put up his new self-titled LP, and I think it’s a good bit of tunes to help you see where his songwriting comes from/goes. I think I’m currently stuck on the slight jangle of “Bed Ridden 2.” But, for you newcomers, or fans of Aussie pop, you can currently grab the album for NYOP…though we always encourage dollars going to the bands. Sweet streams.

Jennifer O’ Connor’s New Album is Near

Leave a comment

joI’ve always had a soft spot for Jennifer O’ Connor since her early days on Matador. Her later work has been quite remarkable, and I implore you to give this new single a listen. While there’s a lot going on musically, be it the softened beat or the churning guitars, O’ Connor almost seems naked in front of us. Her vocal performance is one of the stronger ones I’ve heard this year, but it’s presence in the mix almost makes everything else fade away. Her new album, Surface Noise, comes out on March 4th via Kiam Records, and this track is one of its many offerings that should illustrate why you should be paying attention to her work.

Dream Pop Hit from Plastic Flowers

Leave a comment

plasticI have a feeling this song is going to be in heavy rotation throughout the rest of this week. It hits almost immediately with the drum work, then the coated vocals come in to drive home that emotional pull that makes pop fans swoon. There’s something about the immediacy of this song that makes it so endearing; I found it hard to turn off from the moment I pressed play, and I have a feeling that if you’re into this sound, you’ll feel the same. Heavenly, the new Plastic Flowers album, will be out April 22nd…and this is our first (great) taste.

Another Killer Track From Slingshot Dakota

Leave a comment

slingshotdakotaIt wasn’t too long ago that I shared with you this track from Pennsylvania’s Slingshot Dakota, but the duo is back with another great number to satisfy all your pop-punk needs. “Lewlyweds” is filled with the same kind of spunk that delighted you on “Paycheck” in a nicely packed two minute burst of energy. There’s alsoa good presence of synth on hereas well, adding some lightness to balance out the shredding guitars. Break, the album that this track is taken from, will be out March 11th via Topshelf Records.

ATX Spotlight: Fresh Nameless Frames

Leave a comment

namelessI’m really digging the few short listens I’ve had to the forthcoming LP from Austin’s Nameless Frames; it’s a good blend of punk fueled by energetic tunes and anthemic vocals. The single below has this grit to it that initially covers up some of the pop sensibility lurking beneath, but as the track evolves, that element rises to the top, asking you to tap your toes as you play the song over and over again. The band is releasing their self-titled album this week via Super Secret Records, with a release celebration at End of an Ear on Sunday (2.20) at 6 PM. Enjoy.

Don’t Sleep on B Boys

Leave a comment

bboysWhile it might have been easy to pigeonhole Captured Tracks earlier on, the label’s done a great job diversifying their roster, and one of the bands that’s adding to that is their newest singing B Boys. Sure, there are some sonic similarities in the guitar ring, but the Brooklyn trio is taking on their own spin with it, issuing out a more grimy, proto-punk feel. Still, the label sells infectious pop, no matter what way you look at it; the No Worry No Mind EP from the band hits on March 18th.

Another Day, Another Chance to Rave About the Coathangers

Leave a comment

coatsJust a reminder, I’m probably Austin’s biggest Coathangers fanboy. Watch the “making of” video on their new album, saw them six times in one SXSW…and own every little bit of music they’ve released. So, with Nosebleed Weekend, their newest album, a little over a few months away, I’ve still got time to rave on and on about the band. This week we get a chance to hear the band’s title track from the record, a slow burning bit of rock n’ roll to ease the soul. Like their last album, there’s lots of differentiation, switching singers, paces and styles…so love this song, and wait to see what they bring you next. Suicide Squeeze Records will release it on April 15th.
