New Punk Jam from Steve Adamyk Band

It’s been a mild week, musically speaking, with nothing really rocking coming my way.  So, when I got this new track from Dirtnap Records about the Steve Adamyk Band, a little bit of joy came across my face. It’s got a classic pop-punk sound, and there’s nothing wrong with that.  For those looking for a little bit of fun, get into this one now.  Sharp guitars, hooks, gang vocals and oh so much more.  If you dig this, you can get your hands on the group’s newest, Forever Won’t Wait, come the end of the year.  Maybe it’s just me, but this definitely made my day.

More New Music From Warm Ghost

Here’s another new industrial pop jam called “Myths on Rotting Ships” from Brooklyn based Warm Ghost that’s been crawling around inside my head recently.  As previously stated, the band has finally released their debut full length LP Narrows this week on Partisan Records.  It’s taken some time for me to get into their tunes, but after spinning their new album several times now, I’d call it highly recommended from ATH Ray Ray.

New Music from Cate Le Bon

It’s been an odd year, as I seem to be warming to incredible female vocalists quite a bit more.  Welsh singer Cate Le Bon is yet another of my discoveries, spinning songs that have this majestic quality to them, recalling music of the past that seems far more enchanting than anything else I’ve heard recently; it’s like french pop spun around the emotions of the British Isles.   If you love the song below, you’ll love Put Me to Work, her new album that just came out.  I keep finding myself getting completely lost in it all, and that’s a perfect way to wrap up my evening here. Hopefully you’ll take the same from this tune, and this record.

New Gem from Ramesh (formerly of Voxtrot)

I wondered what happened to Ramesh, formerly of Voxtrot.  Personally, his songwriting was always really affecting, so I am glad to see he’s getting back out there.  Floating around the Internet is his EP 1, which you can stream right HERE for your own listening pleasure.  It’s still got that soft quality of pop that you came to expect from his old group.  Not sure if he’s still writing from Austin, but I’m going to claim him as one of our own, as we need all the good musicians we can get.  Best of luck to Ramesh as he gets back out there in the music world.

New Single from Forbidden Friends (Hutch of the Thermals)

As a long time fan of the Thermals, I’ll always be dedicated to anything that’s associated with the band.  Luckily for me, and for you as well, Hutch never really writes a bad song.  His new solo project, Forbidden Friends just released a the new Totally Low 7″ on Kill Rock Stars, and it’s been playing on my turntable all night long.  It might not have the sharp edge of the Thermals, but you can hear the backbone in there.  His voice is always has a special place in my heart, which is perhaps the reason why I’m so attracted to the simplicity he’s revealed with this new project.  Go get your hands on the single today!

More New Music From PAPA

Here’s another new sweet jam from Darren Weiss of Girls and his new project known as PAPA.  The song is called “Aint It So” and appears on the band’s new EP A Good Woman is Hard to Find which is due out October 4th on Hit City USA Records.  This comes after we shared new song with you “I Am the Lion King” a few weeks ago.  Stay tuned to more from this promising up and coming group.

More New Music from Gringo Star

One of the Atlanta bands I’m really excited about this year is Gringo Star.  They’re prepping the release of their new album, Count Yer Lucky Stars, and it’s got me salivating already.  When the record hits stores via Gigantic Music on October 25th, you can expect to find energy fueled pop tracks wrapped in a gritty little shell of garage nostalgia.  While Atlanta has a slew of bands giving out some power-pop/punk rock jams, this feels more like a California psych rocker, and you know that’s a good thing in our book.  Get familiar now folks, as this band’s about to take off.

New Music Mike Quinn

Hailing from Scranton, PA, yes THAT Scranton, Mike Quinn has been involved in his local music scene in various bands for quite sometime now.  I am not terribly familiar with the guy, but I sure do enjoy this new twangy tune called “Reforming” and it’s honest approach to songwriting and storytelling.  Quinn has been hard at work in his home studio recording his new album Magico that is out now.  If you dig what you hear, check out the whole album in streaming form via Mike’s bandcamp site.

New Psych Rock Jam From Woodsman

I have been thoroughly enjoying this new psych-rock tune “Specdrum” from Denver based outfit Woodsman.  The band have been on my radar for the last couple years after they surprised me in 2010 with their above averag Mystery Tape EP.  Well this year they are planning to build on the release of that EP with another 6 song EP entitled Mystic Places. That one is due out October 25th via Fire Talk Vinyl.

New Music from The Darcys

It seems like Arts and Crafts Records has been rather quiet for some time, but I’ve finally come across some new music from the label, by way of The Darcys.  They’ve got a new album, self-titled, coming out on October 25th, and this single is grabbing my attention.  It begins with this operatic opening, soaring vocals taking the focal point, but keep on listening. About midway, however, the song gently erupts with discordant guitars and bits of ambient noise exploding into the background.  It’s like Antony and the Johnsons if they chose to jump off and throw some guitars in the mix.  Should be an interesting listen come October.
