Rowdy Rock From Meat Market

Leave a comment

carblackandwhiteblownout_zps9c3dc211Interested in some loud and rowdy rock n roll music to improve your hump day?  Well Oakland based punk rockers Meat Market are here to satiate your desires.  This new track “Too Tired” will appear on a 7″ of same name and is due out physically on September 3rd via Suicide Squeeze Records.  I’ll hold off on telling you anything else about the song, as it won’t take much of your time, and you’re sure to enjoy.  Dig it.

Oops! I Like His Electro Blue Voice

Leave a comment

hiselectroOkay. I’m really late on this tune from His Electro Blue Voice.  But, I initially dismissed this record, solely based upon the name.  Honestly, I saw the name and skipped it, despite the Sub Pop connection.  Yet, like most people, I came back to it.  I needed something to rock my socks off, and I think that today this track is going to do just the trick.  It’s perfect if you’re into the angst-side of indie rock, and really, it’s just an all-around rad song to throw down on your playlist for Hump Day.  The band’s record, Ruthless Sperm will be released next week, and it’s shaping up to be a good old fashioned rock n’ roll album.

Take a Listen to Atlanter

Leave a comment

Every once in a while, I like to post something to see if it sticks. This showed up in my inbox and decided to give it a run.

Atlanter is a new project from Jen Carelius and Arild Hammerø. Cited influences are Krautrock and delta blues. OK. Not sure that is entirely accurate, but hey, it is a pretty cool listen. I chose the track “Kaktos” to share because it has a nice little blend of psyche and pop and reminded a bit of The Love Language. Out now, the album is called Vidde.

Austin Spotlight: The Villas

Leave a comment

villasPRESSphotoThe Villas are an Austin band that have been working hard in this town for awhile now, but have been relatively quiet over the last year or so.  As a fan of the band since their inception, I was excited to get a taste of some new music the guys have been working on.  This track “Life Goes On” is part of a new two song single from the locals that can be streamed over on soundcloud or you can download the one song below.  When discussing straight up pop music in Austin, it’s rare that you find a band that can create tunes such as these.  Well done sirs.

More New Music From Celestial Shore

Leave a comment

1989Back in June, I was turned on to Brooklyn based outfit Celestial Shore and their brand of quirky experimental pop music.  After taking a liking to the band back then, I’ve been keeping my eyes and ears peeled for more new music from the band.  Well today my searching is over as the band has graciously offered up this new track “Swimmer’s Sinking Feeling” which can be found below.  Last time I compared the band to Dirty Projectors, but this time I’m just going to call them a great pop band who can create some memorable pop tunes.

As previously mentioned, the band have a new album 10x due out September 3rd on Hometapes and Local Singles Records.

Gross Relations Bring Out Another Single

Leave a comment

grossrelations_masksRayRay posted the first sweet jam from Gross Relations less than a month ago, and I have to follow in his footsteps in order to bring you this new single from the band.  This new single still maintains the group’s lo-fi aesthetic, at least in so far as the recording goes, but personally, I’m feeling a hint of 90s alternative rock.  No, it’s not “Cumbersome,” unfortunately, but those of you who grew up with 90s radio will probably hear the same sort of catchy accessibility, while still seeing that the group isn’t just pandering to fans by making watered-down alterna-rock.  Their self-titled album will be in stores next week from the dependable folks at Old Flame Records.

More New Music from Alligator Indian

Leave a comment

alligatorEarlier this summer we brought you the first single from Alligator Indian, so why not make it two for two by bringing you another hit from the band.  The band is working hard to build up their name before the release of their More Songs About Animals and TV EP, which is available on September 17th from Bleeding Gold Records.  This tune has a bit of a different approach, with a slow trotting tune that maintains a bit of the odd emotion, while still utilizing the group’s R&B influences.  There’s a haunting female vocal bursting throughout, only drawing more attention to the main vocals.  Hope you like this one too folks.

Austin Spotlight: The Harvest Thieves

Leave a comment

a1146701711_10As ATH has always been a big supporter of Guns of Navarone, we were overly excited when our friends in the band sent us over music from a new project they’ve been working on.  This Austin supergroup going by the name of The Harvest Thieves features members of the aforementioned Guns as well as East Cameron Folkcore and Bankrupt & The Borrowers.  Already the new group have an EP entitled Lightning in a Bottle up and available for download over on bandcamp at a “pay what you want” set up.  I’m finding myself immediately drawn to the 2nd track  from the EP “Escape From the Paper City”.  It’s clearly a country/americana themed tune with an almost anthemic sound and an extremely full sound that drives the song home.  It seems rare that we find this kind of quality Texas themed sounds in this town anymore and I couldn’t be more excited about this new project.  

Stay tuned for more.

More New Music From Terry Malts

Leave a comment

terrymaltsATH loves Terry Malts and we hope that they love us just as much in return.  With that out of the way, it’s due time for us to share another new track from the bands upcoming album entitled “Walking Without You”.  It’s loud, it’s fast, and daddy likes it.

As previously mentioned, Terry Malts have a new album called Nobody Realizes This is Nowhere due out September 10th via Slumberland Records.

Summery B-Side from The Eversons

Leave a comment

theeversonsI really enjoyed listening to Summer Feeling from The Eversons when it was released recently.  The group are still promoting the record, and so they’ve released a brand new single, which features “Stick Around,” a new B-side; it’s featured on their new “Creepy” single.   I like the jangling delivery of the guitars, but I also like the feeling of the vocals and their nonchalant exuberance.  That’s one of the attributes of the group that made them so much fun to listen to in the first place; they’re light hearted and catchy, making the group something easy to digest and enjoy.  Don’t believe me? Take this song for a spin!
