Rocking Out with Diarrhea Planet

Leave a comment

diarrheaSometime last year I brought you all a jam from Diarrhea Planet, and while I questioned the name, I couldn’t help but enjoy the anthemic brashness of the group’s sound.  You’ll hear just that on the group’s latest single, “Separations,” which will be on their new album, I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams.  If it sounds like this tune, then you can be sure the whole album will be filled with exuberant energy and hooks you can sing along to all day long. Perfect for summer time; the album hits late summer via Infinity Cat Recordings.

New 80’s Surf Rock From Jay Arner

Leave a comment

jay_arner_coverJay Arner is a guy who has paid his dues in the indie world under a multitude of monikers and many many roles.  He’s now taking his musical venture into the solo game with a self-titled debut album due to drop on June 25th via Mint Records.  First taste of the new material “Midnight on South Granville” is found below and conveys a message of 80s synths mixed with surf rock guitars.  I’m excited about the new solo album.

Noisy Number from Exwife

Leave a comment

bandshotWhen this track from Exwife begins, it seems like you might be in for a drifting bit of post-rock, featuring ambling guitars and distant vocals.  But, as it heads into the 2 minute mark, walls of distortion are inserted, then pulled back.  In the end, the song begins to fade, with atmospheric noise circling the listener’s ears as the song draws to a close.  I like the sense of brooding and danger that rides throughout.  You can hear this song on the group’s upcoming New Colors LP, which hits stores on May 28th, courtesy of Evil Weevil Records.

New Music From Shark Week

Leave a comment

sharkweek_promo_webBack in November, I developed a man music crush on D.C. based Shark Week and their garage rock infused music.  Furthering my fandom of the group is this new song “Go West” that sort of infuses a doo wop vibe at the beginning before getting down and dirty with the familiar garage rock sound.  Anyone smart enough to see the band during SXSW, can attest that the sound translates really well in the live setting as well.  I’m expecting big things from these guys.

Make your way over to Analog Edition to pre-order a new 7″ from Shark Week due out July 30th.

Folk Pop Beauty From Golden Suits

Leave a comment

Hi-Res_Fred1Here’s a very beautiful and interesting folk pop themed number called “Didn’t I Warn You” from Brooklyn based Golden Suits.  The band is essentially a one man show featuring Fred Nicolaus of Department of Eagles doing most the work with a few friends helping during the recording process.  Sounds could easily be related to Nicolaus’ other band and I can see nothing wrong with that.

New debut self-titled album is due out August 20th via Yep Roc Records.

More New Music From Young Hunting

Leave a comment

younghuntingYoung Hunting has already shared with us two new songs off their much anticipated new album Hazel due out June 11th on Gold Robot Records.  The band creates these beautiful moments full of restraint, but also powerful in the subtle way the pop is delivered on your ears.  This new track “Maze” furthers my enjoyment of the band and should get everyone overly excited for the new album.  Legit.

More New Tunes from Case Studies

Leave a comment

CaseStudies5.1Long have we supported Jesse Lortz, ever since his early days with Dutchess and the Duke; he’s since moved on, working on his new project Case Studies. He seems so much more comfortable stepping into the light on his own, with a great drawl to his voice, evoking every last drop of emotion.  The song’s built around the backbone of a piano, but the solo guitar work near the end of the track really emphasizes the accomplished range of Lortz as a songwriter.  His new album This Is Another Life will be out on June 11th via Sacred Bones.

New Crooner From Daughn Gibson

Leave a comment

Daughn GibsonDaughn Gibson is an artist who receives a lot of praise around these parts, and rightfully so.  It’s an interesting style of music, think Merle Haggard with synth beats, that evokes everyone’s inner fist pump in the air.  Daughn has a new track for us today called “You Don’t Fade” that will appear on his new album Me Moan due out July 9th via Sub Pop Records.  Of course the deep vocal range is there, making us all try to mimic, but failing miserably.  The beats are also once again solid as ever.

More New Music from Spectrals

Leave a comment

spectralsThe last track we offered up from Spectrals was an upbeat affair, somewhere in the vein of modern power-pop.  But, this new single definitely shows the songwriting prowess that’s present on the band’s new album, Sob Story; the title track is an ambling number with bending guitars and a soulful croon walking you through it all.  It’s almost as if this is a country track, which definitely hits home with us down here in Texas, yet more importantly, I’m just excited that the album’s going to have various avenues for listeners to enjoy.  You can pick up your copy from Slumberland Records on June 18th.
