Fresh New Jam from Jacuzzi Boys

Leave a comment

Jacuzzi_Boys_Edited_2Man, I’m getting excited by a lot of the releases coming out this summer and fall.  One of my highlights has to be Miami’s Jacuzzi Boys; they’re one of my favorite live acts too.  They’ve been quiet, relatively speaking, since releasing Glazin, but they’re prepping a new 7″ single for July 9th (via Hardly Art), which means their anticipated 3rd LP is just around the corner.  This track has a steady flow to it, calmly delivering warm guitar parts to match the vocal delivery.  I’d say there’s a fair bit of restraint in this tune, showing some growth from their last LP.  Definitely perked my ears up!

New Signing for Father/Daughter Records: Bent Shapes

Leave a comment

bentOur friends over at Father Daughter Records have picked up a great signing with Boston’s Bent Shapes! The band’s been on my radar for a little while, having made waves with an early 7″; they specialize in creating hook-laden indie pop tunes fueled by ringing/jangling guitars.  Personally, I like the clarity of the vocals on the first single from their upcoming album Feels Weird, which will be released on August 20th.  I have a feeling you’ll be listening to this album for quite some time.

More New Music From Lemuria

Leave a comment

lemuriaLemuria is a group that’s been getting tons of spins around the ATH offices with their new album The Distance is so Big (due out June 18th).  Within the new LP, you’ll find some alternative throwback style indie pop jams with beautifully delivered male/female dueling vocals.  Think old school Rainer Maria or possibly Rocking Horse Winner and then up the rock level a little bit.  That seems fair right?  In other words, you’ll want to get this album when it hits stores.

Great Pop Music From There Is Danger

Leave a comment

a1127003112_2There is Danger hail from Phoenix, AZ and they just so happened to get in touch with us recently about some new music they’ve been working on.  Their style is what I might call irresistible to anyone with a pulse for music.  The pop moments as they build and build create some truly superb pop music that anyone could get into.  Our free track below, “Passport”, demonstrates that slow build which leads into a pop guitar riff and beat that could rival the likes of similar big indie names like Grizzly Bear or even Youth Lagoon.  Bold comparisons I know, but the band seems worthy if you ask me.

Others into the music should head over to bandcamp for a pay what you want download of the group’s new LP Living Dreams.

Even More New Music From The Mantles

One comment

1885We’ve already shared with you incredible new songs “Brown Balloon” and “Hello” from San Francisco based garage pop group The Mantles.  Today more new goodness is coming your way in the form of this track “Shadow of Your Step”.  It has that same great jangly sort of guitars driving throughout that give you this almost meditative type feeling.  Now that you’ve heard several great songs from upcoming album Long Enough to Leave, you should probably be prepared to pick it up on June 18th via Slumberland Records.

New Band Smell: Radstewart

Leave a comment

radstewI like the name Radstewart; I like Rod Stewart, so of course I like a little nostalgic nod. The band, however, doesn’t really have a lot in common, musically speaking with Rod, and I’m okay with that too. In fact, it has more of a slacker alternative feel to it, akin to certain bands of legend, though this one has a nice little Welsh bent to it.  As of right now, the group only has the Whig Crooks and Beer Swindlers EP, and a few demos to boot; you can grab it all for free, though we always encourage donations to the acts.

Summer Tune From Beach Day

Leave a comment

beach-day-2012-christina-mendenhall-200-200x200Beach Day is a band I discovered back in November when I doubt any of us were really thinking about enjoying a nice long drive on a warm summers day.  Well now that time is here and another new song from this summer themed band is just what the doctor ordered.  This new track “Stay” is certainly a doo wop, feel good type song that should be perfect for your summer mix tape as you take a dip in some cold water.

Debut album Trip Track Attack will hit stores on June 18th via Kanine Records.

Saved by Without Feathers

Leave a comment

wihtoutfeathersWhen I found out that my much adored Standard Fare was calling it quits earlier this year, I was heartbroken.  I loved Emma Kupa’s voice, and their last effort still gets played at least once a week around the house. She’s got a new group titled Without Feathers, which features some other heavy-hitters from the UK scene.  At this point, we’ve just got three little songs to enjoy, but you should check them out, as they show great promise, which gives me hope that there’s great things on the horizon for this group in the very near future. I’ll keep you posted.

Beautiful Folk Pop From Gold Lake

Leave a comment

GoldLake1This is a very beautifully done song called “We Already Exist” by Brooklyn via Madrid group Gold Lake.  I find myself immediately drawn to the similarities the band has with folky groups like Fleet Foxes intertwined with more indie pop bands like Matt Pond PA.  It’s super duper.

Stay tuned as we get more information on the upcoming debut album Years which has a TBA release date.

More from Hooded Fang

Leave a comment

1874Man, Hooded Fang is really hitting the ground hard with all these singles.  I think that “Bye Bye Land,” the latest, is definitely one of my favorites of the three we’ve heard so far.  It opens with this light guitar just before the drums get pounded and the vocals swirl in with a nice little echo effect.  Again, the band is displaying the varying skills in their repertoire, making the likelihood that Gravez will go stale over time very small.  The record will be in stores for all to enjoy today, so be sure to get your hands on a copy.
