New Music From Eternal Summers

Leave a comment

I’ve heard little to nothing from fuzz-pop group Eternal Summers since posting their sweet jam of summer cerca 2010 “Pogo”.  Well now the group just sent out word a few days ago that they have a new LP entitled Correct Behavior due out July 24th via Kanine Records.  We’re obviously pretty excited about the news and are even more excited to share this new song with you “Millions”.  Maybe this can be a summer jam 2012?  Damn it’s hot.

Great Old Song from Montero

Leave a comment

It’s been pouring in Austin since yesterday, so I’m really happy that this song fits in perfectly with the weather.  To continue with my adoration of all things Oceanic, I’d like to reintroduce you to Montero…the project of Ben Montero (also featuring Guy of Chapter Music and Geoff of Crayon Fields).  At first, you’d think I’m just plugging my friends, and yea, I am, but this songs too great not to put it back on people’s radars.  This song comes from a 7″ they put out last year on Mistletone, and VICE caught wind of the band and made up THIS little mini-documentary.  I guess there’s never a bad time to listen to a good song, so enjoy this one friends; I do this for you all.

New Tune from Fergus and Geronimo

Leave a comment

It’s funny, I always sort of thought at Fergus and Geronimo as Dallas’ answer to White Denim, giving off that constructional post-rock vibe with odd time signatures and what not, but it seems like a lot of people had that problem with the group; they’re a hard bunch to put into a box.  That being said, the band is returning with Funky Was the State of Affairs on August 7th via Hardly Art, and the title alone suggests that the group could be more all over the map, even a bit funkier perhaps. Doesn’t matter what it sounds like in the long run, as this single alone is enough to kick off things in the right direction.

New Single from Standard Fare

Leave a comment

Did you see me rave about the excellent Out of Sight, Out of Town LP from Standard Fare at the beginning of the year? You definitely should have, but if you didn’t, this song’s going to remind you just what I was talking about.  The group’s signed up to release a single with WIAIWYA, and you can grab that single for nice decent price.  More importantly, the band’s been generous to provide us with a stream of their energetic jam, “Girlfriend.”  This song encompasses everything the group’s about, and I’m always excited when one of my favorite bands has new music to make it through this rainy weather. You can also stream/buy the track HERE.

Great Jam from The Intelligence

3 comments

For months I’ve waited for the official word on the newest record from The Intelligence, one of my favorite acts.  Luckily, the album came my way last week, and now I get to share with you one of the reasons I’m so excited for you to hear Everybody’s Got It Easy But Me; it hits stores on June 19th via In the Red.  It’s a rambunctious jittery rocker with a discordant guitar chord that rings in the background throughout. If you get your hands on the whole album you’ll also realize that this band’s got a knack for writing hooks within the realm of arty guitar rock.

Angular Pop Track from New Cassettes

Leave a comment

Feel like this weather is going to get me down, but I refuse to let it get to me.  So in hopes of helping you all out, I wanted to toss out this energetic number that’s been floating around for a bit on behalf of New Cassettes. The group released their album Winterhead just a month ago, followed by a short US tour, which is how they caught my ear.  I’ll give you that it’s not the most original track out in the world, but we’re all entitled to a little frivolous fun, are we not?  My favorite thing…it’s not bedroom pop or garage rock, it’s just a rock tune, albeit one that makes you stomp your feet.

Chilled Out Bedroom Pop from Young Man

Leave a comment

As we grow closer and closer to the release of Young Man‘s Vol. 1 LP, the buzz seems to continue to grow. I’m not going to lie and pretend like I’m not buying into the hype, but I’ll say that this is perhaps my favorite track of all that’s been floating around so far.  There’s steady pacing, and the music that surrounds Colin Caulfield’s vocals is perfectly fitting.  There’s nothing overdone in this track; it’s all just understated enough to come across as beautifully trickled bedroom pop music.  You can finally get your hands on this record when it hits stores on May 22nd via Frenchkiss.

More New Tunes from Leland Sundries

Leave a comment

Are you tired of me talking about Leland Sundries and their Foundry EP yet? Well, I’ve almost covered all the tunes on the site, so maybe this will be the last time (I’m not making any promises).  Nick Loss-Eaton has a great way with matter-of-fact storytelling and vocal delivery, which makes a song like this both interesting and attractive to listeners.  It’s a bit in the vein of Americana, but for the most part, it’s got a steady little country chug to it…although I’ll admit it’s probably one of the most upbeat tracks on the EP.  I don’t care if it’s just me, these dudes have something going.

New Texas Punk from Riverboat Gamblers

Leave a comment

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past several years, then perhaps Riverboat Gamblers is a band you’ve never heard of, but those of us in Texas have long been witness to the rockers.  They’ve just announced their latest LP, The Wolf You Feed, and they’re currently offering up this rad new single for your ears.  If the music isn’t enough to get you going, then also take to heart that the group has fleshed out their sound with the help of another notable Texas punk, Mark Ryan of Mind Spiders. The more I listen to this jam, the more excited I get by the prospect of a full length—you can grab it for yourself on May 22nd.

New Music From Snowmine

Leave a comment

We make no attempt to hide our love of Brooklyn band Snowmine and the sweet sounds they have  been creating in their very brief career as a band.  Hell, we gave them top billing on our year end songs list, and even became BFFs at this year’s SXSW.  All that aside, the guys just sent us this new tune “Saucer Eyes” and it causes us to ever grow our fandom of the group.  Word is not out just yet on when we can expect a new album of material from the Brooklyn quintet, but you know ATH will keep all you fine folks posted for the news.
