Dark Post-Punk from Grave Babies

Leave a comment

Hopefully you’ve heard about the Grave Babies by now, as they’re about to start winning people over across the Internet. The band’s about ready to release their Gothdammit EP on April 17th via Hardly Art, and while the title might have some allusions to the music itself, there’s still a whole lot beneath that wall of darkness aching to be released.  If you listen to this track, you’ll hear the pounding rhythm and the wall of noise, but that tiny hint of melody held back by the slightest bit of restraint is exactly what grabs you.  I can’t wait to get this EP in my hands!

More Straight-forward Rock from Tribes

Leave a comment

A short while ago we hooked you up with a jam from Tribes, the UK band who’re expected to blow up in the States pretty soon.  On March 13th the band will release their record, Baby, state-side, and I’m sure it’s going to be a polarizing ordeal.  The band stakes their claim to a no-frills rock n’ roll approach, just blasting out the jams like we all secretly want.  In listening to this song, part of me wants is singing along, tapping my feet; the other part of me is worried it’s going to get panned because it is so gimmick free. I think it’s tasty, I think it’s fun: you be the the judge!

Mellow Tune from White Woods

Leave a comment

You might recognize Julia Kugel as the guitarist/vocalist from the Coathangers, a band that’s graced our Interweb space on various occasions. This time around, however, she comes to us via her side-project, White Woods, offering up this really dreamy number that you’re pretty much guaranteed to love.  You’ll find the below track as part of Suicide Squeeze‘s Single Series, who continue to put out some incredible single collections for a limited run.  For me, this is a really interesting place to find Kugel, as I didn’t expect this from her at all, but I’ve been swept off my feet by this song.  Give it a listen, or two…do you feel the same?

Jamming Lil’ Number from Finn Riggins

One comment

It’s really funny that this track popped up in our inbox the other day, just a night after I was talking to our friend Marcus about the lack of credit given to the Idaho scene.  In 2011 the scene hit big with Youth Lagoon, and the state is the home to Built to Spill, who took out the band Finn Riggins for several tours.  This track from Finn Riggins definitely has a nice little groove to it, and it’ll feature on the band’s Benchwarmers EP, which is set for release on April 21st for Record Store Day.  This is the perfect way to kick off our Monday; the band will be in Austin playing the Boise Showcase at SXSW if you’re looking for a place to catch them.

New Jam from the Roommates

Leave a comment

Ben Cook and Mark Fosco have had a solid year in the music work, with their sweet jams being given out to via their respective bands, Fucked Up and Marvelous Darlings. The group, now dubbed Roommates initially set out to record some songs for fun, with the idea of limited releases, but I’m glad some of these tracks are making their way out.  On March 20th Slumberland Records will be releasing a 7″ comprised of two of these tracks, and we’ve got the A-Side to run for you today. Given their recent  musical output, it’s no wonder that this has a nice little power-pop sheen to it, with steady drum playing backing the straight-forward guitar playing.  Regardless, it’s got all the hooks to make you a fan, clamoring for more. Check it.

New Music From Bosco

Leave a comment

Here’s a new experimental swingy pop tune from Atlanta based Bosco called “Joker”.  Lead singer Brittany Bosco exudes all kinds of pent-up emotions in her approach to singing throughout the number.    It’s pretty irresistible when combined with the erratic drum beats and picked electric guitar.  A new EP from the group Let Go of Me is due out next week on March 6th.  They’ll also be stopping into Austin for SXSW this year and we highly suggest you check ’em out.

New Dance Jam From Reptar

One comment

We first got wind of this new band Reptar sometime last year when they dropped new song “Houseboat Babies” our way and it has since been on our ATH DJ playlists ever since.  Well now the band has just announced their debut LP Body Faucet which will be released May 1st via Vagrant Records.  Prior to that date, we were just sent this new dance jam “Sebastian”.  It’s sure to appear on DJ set lists in the very near future.

Hey and they’re also coming into town on Saturday evening at Stubb’s for the low low price of only $10!

Free Album Reworking from PS I Love You

Leave a comment

One of the groups that we fell in love with in 2011 was PS I Love You after jamming to their Meet Me at the Muster Station album. With their quick rise to popularity, the band was traveling all around the States, which led to the recording of the Muster Sessions.  It’s an album comprised of reworkings and live recordings the group did while hitting up Daytrotter and KEXP, as well as other spots.  Basically, it’s like a collection of John Peel-esque B-sides and remixes for you to enjoy.  They’re currently giving it away free in anticipation of their new record, Death Dreams, which comes out on May 8th.  For now, you can download the FREE ALBUM, and sample the hooks the band are sure to bring with their new effort.

More New Music From Sauna

Leave a comment

Just a couple of weeks ago, I posted a new track from Denver based band Sauna entitled “Please Don’t Go Away”.  Well today we just found another new song from the band “Wanting You” and it’s a nice compliment to the original tune we ran.  It seems that this band’s brand of infectious jangly pop numbers with a touch of motorcycle bad boy is catching on in the world.  Consider me a supporter.
