Listen to a New Vomitface Tune

Leave a comment

vomitfaceListening to this new track from Vomitface, it really starts to make a lot of sense that Steve Albini got himself behind the knobs to produce it. Maybe it’s just me, but Jared Micah sounds like a young Kurt Cobain (Incesticide era)…before it was all about the wailing. The track itself has a heavier handed bit of guitar, but that allows for the softness of Micah’s voice to really create this diverse feeling that draws you deep into the song’s emotional pull. They’ll release their debut LP, Hooray for Me, on August 26th.

Trudy and the Romance Get “Wild”

Leave a comment

trudyandtheromanceA few months ago, I discovered the goodness that is the 50s nost-pop that is Trudy and the Romance. Hailing from Liverpool, this group of gentlemen make a certain type of pop that seems destined for summer time listening. They’ve got a new single called “Wild,” which is below, and it’s got an infectious choral hook that you’ll be singing along to in no time. The vocals are raw and of the gang variety, while the guitar parts are loose and go where the song takes them, meanwhile the bass line is positively groovy, making you start the track from the start not long after it’s over.

New Jams from The Tigerlillies

Leave a comment

tigerlilliesI just wanted to start today off with something that has a little bit of energy, so this new track from The Tigerlillies seems fitting. It’s just an example of good old fashioned rock n’ roll…nothing too heavy or too daring, just calling on the spirits of Bowie and the like, then turning it into modern pop fare. It all boils down to execution, and you can tell the band has worked hard to craft their sound, make it their own and now they’re ready to release their new EP. They’ve titled it 123456 EP, and it’s going to be released on September 2nd, so grab a little listen.

So Cow Announces New Album on Jigsaw Records

Leave a comment

socowWhen thinking about So Cow, I can’t really think of another band around that’s been able to release four albums, improving upon each release and always staying true to the sound. It’s all owed to songwriter Brian Kelly, who has decided to play all the instruments on the latest LP, Lisa Marie Airplane Tour. You can hear the history of Irish/British songwriting, personal, playful and with a little bit of ramshackle rock n’ roll; I always feel like its a better produced Television Personalities. This brand new album (the fifth full length!) will be released by Jigsaw Records on September 15th, and we’ve got this exciting new preview below for your soon-to-be happy ears.

Elegant and Quiet Folk From Chris Staples

Leave a comment

531838_10151779890682857_391227629_nChris Staples has been crafting careful folksy tunes for quite some time now, but he has returned and is on his way to releasing another album.Golden Ageis his latest project and it’s set for release on August 19th on Barsuk Records, but for now, you can check out the latest single from that release, which is called “Park Bench.” When I first started to listen to the track, I was suddenly taken with the way that Staples’ winding lyrics perfectly compliment the simple composition of the track. As the song goes on, the song’s complexity grows, with lush string arrangements keeping the songwriter company and fully fleshing out the number. Simply put, it’s a perfect track for early mornings or quiet times in your day. So give it a spin and get lost for a moment.

CC Mose Delivers Folk Beauty

Leave a comment

unnamed (12)Many of you probably know I have a soft spot for indiesinger songwriters who craft heartfelt and mesmerizing tunes. Chris Robbins is another artist who creates just such tunes under his moniker CC Mose. This single “A Sad Song” blends some of my favorite artists of the genre like JBM, A.A. Bondy, or even Horse Feathers. It’s a truly memorable track.

CC Mose will drop Beat Me on August 19th via Plastic Jurassic.

Premiere: Dream Cult Release “Jackson Canon”

Leave a comment

dreamcultI love a good pop song, especially when it’s filled with melodies and hooks in the vocals; this is precisely what you’ll get from the latest Dream Cult single. This song has all these little guitar textures, weaving in and out beneath the coolly delivered vocals. The stuttering of guitars and drums that occurs throughout always prepares the audience for a blast of pure pop. Overall, it’s the execution of this song that really delivers; good songwriting supersedes all other cool guy superlatives. Look for the band’s brand new tape this Friday courtesy of the ever-reliable Old Flame Records.

ATX Spotlight: More from Carl Sagan’s Skate Shoes

Leave a comment

carlsaganIs that new self-titled Carl Sagan’s Skate Shoes record out yet? Man, I loved the first single, but this new is just ridiculously rad; it hits hard, but also has an artful touch to it that harkens back to the the noisy creatives of 90s rock. There’s a brash bark in the vocal, giving the tune an edge, but ultimately, the guitar work steals the show. Chords are carefully woven in and out of distortion, crashing at times with an emphatic punch. It’s heavy, it’s clever and its damn good; look for the effort from Super Secret Records on August 19th.

Yesterday’s News: Another Mercury Girls Hit

Leave a comment

mercuryWhile Mercury Girls are in the midst of wrapping up their debut, they’ll be a huge part of the Continental Drift compilation, which also features the likes of the Spook School, Tigercats and Wildhoney. One of their tunes just went up this week from the compilation, featuring the shimmering guitar work you’ve come to expect from a band with Kevin Attics; the quick drum work isn’t too shabby either. It all lines up perfectly to leave room for the soaring vocals, which inevitably hold the listener until the end. Be sure to get your copy from Slumberland and Fortuna Pop on August 26th.

Pummeling Punker from NOTS

Leave a comment

notsIt only takes a second for the pounding rhythm section to push this track right into your face. Natalie Hoffman tosses off her punk scowl in the best manner possible, biting and indifferent, aiming straight for the song’s message of ‘depression and loss.’ NOTS made waves with their first release, but they seem more confident and headstrong, aiming to take the rest of the world head on. I fully expect their new effort, Cosmetic, to be full of like-minded songs, with no bullshit rock n’ roll begging to be played over and over. Look for it on September 9th via Goner Records.
