This is fine.
Local bands have been dropping new music our way left and right as of late and Sad Accordions decided to get in on the fun. We’ve really been enjoying this new track from the locals called “Sacrificial Chumpsucker Diatribe” and we wanted to share it with you. It’s the first new material from the band in over 4 years and it doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy.

I know that being from Austin, we’re supposed to ignore all things Oklahoma, but you can’t really ignore great music, regardless of local mores. So, now that Stereogum has thrown up a new tune from an unreleased EP by The Uglysuit, we had to jump on it. This tune is a lot quieter than their work in the past, but it has an ornate quality, which definitely brings pleasure to the ears of us here at ATH.

Sure, we love the in-house sessions on Daytrotter, but they’ve outdone themselves, at least in our nostalgic eyes. They just ran The Get Up Kids session, which includes classic tunes like “I’m a Loner Dottie, a Rebel,” not to mention the inclusion of a Vitreous Humor song. To top it all off, there is a brand new song, said to be one of nine. Could it be? Are they back for good? I hope so!

Make no mistake about me, I was a dedicated pop-punk fan throughout my days, and still hold dear to many of those mainstays. Sure, I’m more likely to get into Descendents as opposed to all the new stuff, but even some of the new stuff gets me. Motion City Soundtrack is one of those bands, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do on their new album My Dinosaur Life. This track is just the beginning.

Scottish indie-rockers Frightened Rabbit have a single called “Swim Until You Can’t See Land” that’s been floating around the internet over the last few days. This tune is being offered as a sneak preview of the band’s upcoming album to be released in March of 2010. The band’s label, Fat Cat Records, is also streaming new track “Fun Stuff”. We like ’em both.
