New Music From The Get Up Kids

Leave a comment

Welp, the wait is almost over, you crazy Get Up Kids fans will finally be getting a new album from the band in early 2011.  New Joint, There Are Rules, will hit the streets on January 25th and is of course the first new album from the group in 7 years.  A new MP3 of song “Regent’s Court” from the LP can be found below for streaming or downloading.  Judging from their new song and the recent EP, this should be a return to old form for The Kids, or at least better than Guilt Show…

New(ish) Music From Everyone Everywhere

Leave a comment

To say we get a lot of CDs in the mail would be a major understatement and sometimes the stack gets so big that we miss out on some solid bands.  Such is the case with Philly band Everyone Everywhere.  These guys released their debut self-titled LP over the summer and have been working hard ever since to make a name for themselves.  Below you can also find a sample of the band’s music with rockin’ track “Tiny Town”.  I find myself thinking of some old school Mineral or maybe early Braid material when listening to the boy’s new LP.  Their tunes remind me of a simpler time when bands had street teams, knew how to play their instruments, and could rock some faces.  Don’t we all miss those times?  If this appeals to you, as it should, why not purchase the new Everyone Everywhere album on vinyl or get yourself a digital copy on itunes.  You’ll thank me later.

New Tunes from Chikita Violenta

Leave a comment

Typically we think of Arts & Crafts as the label of Canada, but it seems that they’re really into NAFTA, as they’ve just picked up Mexican band Chikita Violenta.  In preparation for a crazy January, A&C has added Chikita’s release of TRE3S to the slot for January 25th.  Listening to this first single, it definitely has the feel of early Broken Social Scene, with spastic vocal bursts working diligently over spliced guitar lines and crazy hooks.  We’re super excited about this release, and we hope that once you hear them, you’ll follow our lead with the band.  You can check the band’s SITE for a 2 song mini-single, one which is kicking off the jams below.

New Music From Destroyer

Leave a comment

News is spreading on the interwebs today of a new LP from Dan Bejar and his band known as Destroyer.  The new album, Kaputt, is set to be released on January 25th via Merge records.  Until that date, we’ve got new track “Chinatown” below to tide you over.  If this song is any indication to the new album’s sound, I think we’ll all be jamming this one long into 2011.

More New Tunes from Bubblegum Lemonade

Leave a comment

Man, we really thought that we had our end of year list set, but then our favorite label, Matinee, jumps up to remind us about this amazing gem. Scottish band Bubblegum Lemonade are releasing their newest next week, titled Sophomore Release.  The latest single isn’t straight power-pop, but harkens back to a more innocent folk-influenced sound, kind of like a more kick ass version of Sonny and the Sunsets.  Seriously, if you’re looking for one last record to complete your collection for the year 2010, this better be on it, or else you’re in trouble.  You can pre-order this release HERE.

New Tunes from Eulogies

Leave a comment

It’s been a bit of time since we’ve heard from Eulogies, but worry no more folks, as the band are gearing up for a new release.  After a bit of time, they’ll return January 18th with Tear the Fences Down on Dangerbird Records.  This first single layers vocal melodies atop vocal melodies, while sharp drumming fuels the rest of the band along.  One thing I do like immediately is that the song doesn’t seem stuck in the mindset of the last album, which I liked, but progression never hurts a soul.  This is definitely something you’re going to want to keep your eye on as we break into 2011; January already looks ridiculous!

New Tunes from Wet Wings

Leave a comment

When you come across bands from New Zealand, you automatically expect to have some sort of knifing guitar line, but that’s not the case at all with Wet Wings.  The group has a much quieter approach to writing their music, as if they’re high upon some cliff, watching as the waves slowly crash upon the shore.  It’s quite, gentle, and unassuming, but beautiful all the same.  Their Skin to Soil EP (tape) is full of such moments, filling the space with timeless beauty one begs for on those quiet days at home.  Give this a try, if you’re in the need of rest and relaxation.

New Tunes from Minks

Leave a comment

You know that we’re fans of the NY label Captured Tracks, and they’ve just lined up another solid release coming our way January 11th.  Minks will be releasing their record, By the Hedge, and while many people have had the band on their radar for some time, it seems like their star can only grow larger nowadays.  Personally, this definitely has a Sarah Records feel to it, with a bit of coated jangling going on, using warm male/female vocals counterparts to smear gentle pop harmonies all over your speakers.  Looks like January 11th is going to be a sweet time for good tunes. Agree?

New Tunes from White Fence

Leave a comment

This year I fell in love with the work of Darker My Love, and I’m happy to report that one of the gents in the band, Tim Presley, will be releasing some more work on his own under the name White Fence. Said record, titled …is Growing Faith, will hit the streets on January 10th from Woodsist, and your definitely going to enjoy it, at least from what we’ve heard so far. The first single has a bit of lo-fi, but like DML, it definitely has more nostalgia to it, going back to the past when melodies meandered in the plains, so get behind this early.

New Music From Scattered Trees

Leave a comment

I just got sent this delightful little number called “Love and Leave” from Chicago based band Scattered Trees and couldn’t resist sharing it with you.  Sonically it’s not usually what I go for, but something about it just told me it was a great way to send us off to the weekend.  Sometimes the simplest take on things can lend to the best results.  Or so they say… Scattered Trees are currently working on a new release with a tentative date for arrival set in the Spring of ’11.  You can of course read a bit more about this new band and hear more of songs on their website.
