New Music From Magnetic Island

Leave a comment

Magnetic Island is yet another one of those band from Brooklyn that is making waves in the indie music world.  Having been around only since the beginning of 2010, it’s surprising to find that the group actually has a decent amount of recorded material.  The band’s debut EP on their very own Disregard Records, Out at Sea, will be dropping September 21st.  Below you can check out new tune “Sung (Not Said)” that is eerily similar to earl Radiohead which has to be a good thing.  More tracks can be heard on the bandcamp website.

New Music from The Smiles

Leave a comment

LA band The Smiles have just released their new Hermosa EP, and we’re trying to help spread the word about this great group of dudes.  It’s everything you want for a nice summer drive along the coast, or in our case, along the I-35 corridor.  There’s sunny melodies, quick turns in direction, and infectious bass work.  Songs this catchy deserve a little love, so here’s to you fellas, and your damned hooks!

New Tunes from Fossil Cities

Leave a comment

Man, I wish I could find out more about this band right now.  Searching the Internet, you can’t really find much on Fossil Cities, and their myspace page seems to have vanished.  Putting that aside, their sound is absolutely great, and this track from their new Stoners EP is solving my Sunday doldrums.  At first, I fell in love with the simple guitar strumming in the background, and then I fell madly in love with the track as a whole.  Maybe you’ll feel the same as you try to gather your energy up on a Monday morning.

New Music From Owen

Leave a comment

Over the last decade, Mike Kinsella and his project known as Owen has been one of the mainstays on the awesome indie label Polyvinyl.  While some bands jumped ship to get on the big label band wagon, Kinsella has stuck around with other label mates like Joan of Arc, Aloha, and the recently broken up Rainer Maria.  So while writing new material for yet another new album, Owen is planning to release a new 7″ entitled Abandoned Bridges on September 28th.  Prior to that release, the title track from the 7″ can be streamed and downloaded below.  Maybe some day this guy will gain some much deserves popularity.

New Music from Christian Bland

Christian Bland and the Revelators is a little known Austin band, but we all know Christian.  He’s the guy shredding guitars and spreading the noise for The Black Angels.  Recently, he uncovered an album’s worth of recorded material, and will be releasing it as   The Lost Album on September 1st.  It’s going to be super limited to 333 copies, and will include a poster designed by Christian himself.  This is a wonderful glimpse into the mind of one of Austin’s leading musicians.

Show Preview: Dignan @ the Mohawk (8/29)

Leave a comment

Date Sunday, August 29th
Location Mohawk
Doors 1000p
Tickets $? at the door

It seems that Texas’ Dignan has been rocking around the state for years and years, and we’ve grown quite fond of their explorative alternative rock.  Their newest tunes show a great deal of attention being given to every minor detail, which works out great for the group’s sound.  You’ll get  a chance to see them Sunday night in all their glory, accompanied by Farewell Flight and Burgess Meredith.  Make sure you make it out, as we hear school’s back, so you might not get out on too many more Sunday nights.

New Music From Starfucker

One comment

This sweet new jam “Julius” from Starfucker is sure to be tearing up the local hipster dance floors coming this fall.  I typically don’t go for the “dance” genre, but this tune seems to have a better focus on solid songwriting when compared to other songs in the genre.  The new song is appearing on an upcoming 7″ single from the band that hits the streets on the 1st of October on Polyvinyl Records.  Stay tuned.

New Music from Philistines Jr.

Leave a comment

You probably know Peter Katis better as the man behind the soundboards for records from The National and Interpol (not to mention TGUK), but he’s working on releasing an album of his own with help from his brother and friends.  The group goes by Philistines Jr, and their new album If a Band Plays in the Woods comes out October 19th.   This track is really short, but you get the feeling that with a collection of songs that sound like this, it’s going to be a winner.  Personally, these vocals just sound great, and I can’t wait for this to come my way.

New Music From Soft Cat

Leave a comment

The music world seems to die down just a bit here at the end of summer with lots of bands focusing more on constant touring as opposed to writing and releasing new material.  Of course come October that’ll all change with the hectic times of ACL… So amongst these quasi-dead times for new music, it’s nice to find a new discovery like Baltimore group Soft Cat while surfing the web (YANP).  The group was recently formed in 2009 and are ready to release their debut LP Wildspace on September 14th via Friends Records.  Soft Cat, fronted by Neil Sanzgiri, actually self-released that album last year until a label moved in to help with production costs.  I got turned on to these guys by this track “It Won’t be Long”, so I suggest you give a listen and check out another free track “Blackbird” on the group’s bandcamp site.  Hope you dig.
