Is Bubblegum Lemonade Back?

Leave a comment

bubblegumlemonadeWell, it sure looks like Bubblegum Lemonade is back, and I couldn’t be happier.  Some like it pop came out far too long ago for my tastes, and I’ve been clamoring for Laz to get back in the studio with his friends and make me some new hits! It looks like he’s done just that, with news on Friday leaking a brand new demo that sounds pretty near perfect…if you exclude the final mastering. Like all his work, it borders the line between great power pop and indiepop, filled with catchy melodies and infectious tunes.  No word on a release, but let’s hope its sooner rather than later.

Show Preview: Ne Hi @ Red 7 – Tonight

Leave a comment

nehi

Date 8.24.15
Location Red 7
Doors 8 PM
Tickets $8 at the Door


You’ve only got one week left to enjoy Red 7; it closes at the end of this week.  Still, there’s a few great shows left for you, like the one this evening featuring Ne Hi.  They released this arty piece of post-punk earlier this summer, which garnered the Chicago act a lot of praise; I think it’s been well deserved. They’re working on a new album, but they wanted to see your pretty faces before finishing it up.  Oh, and if you show up early you get treated to one of the great many local treasures, The Zoltars.

Have a Nice Weekend

Leave a comment

Beat ConnectionWe have plenty to do this weekend. Hopefully, those of you in Austin got a little of the rain that fell the last couple days. I recently talked to a friend about the fires in Idaho as his family has a cabin in the woods they use for human sacrifice, erm, hunting and vacations. Scary stuff, entire towns are being burned to the ground and their property is surrounded by three fires. Thoughts with those affected by the wildfires out west, they need the rain way more than we do.

Sorry for the bummer, even though you prolly just hit play instead of reading these words. #finebethatway I’ll make up for it regardless with a PYAITK track from Beat Connection, their end of summer jam via a rather cool video. Add it to your Soundcloud playlist here or just listen to what I’ll listen to this weekend here, this song included. The next album from the band is called Product 3, due mid-October.

We don’t have a pool, but I bet this song would sound better poolside.

Psych Rock Goodness From Midday Veil

Leave a comment

11406529_10153480555113755_7897575093842938437_oSo Midday Veil, out of Seattle, are just about to release their latest full-length record, called This Wilderness in a few short weeks on September 11th, so they figured they’d share a new single from that record to give you a bit of a taste of what’s to come. “Babel” is a sprawling track of psych rock, with whirring synths and hazy vocals to set the tone. The band does a good job of leading you by the hand as they gently transition from each part of the track. Take a listen to the psych journey below and get ready for This Wilderness that’s out on Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Records soon.

Fresh Tedo Stone Tune

Leave a comment

tedoI love the crunchy glam rock that Tedo Stone‘s crafting, which is good that he’s back with another single.  Just listening to the track, there’s a huge wall of sound waiting there for you, waiting to crash into you.  But, just as you expect it, the song subsides into a softer movement; it’s the perfect twist to gather your attention. On September 18th, you’ll be able to hear more of his work, as he’s set to release Marshes via This Is American Music. What a great Friday tune.

Have You Met Love Sport?

Leave a comment

lovesportHonestly, if you’re thinking, who the fuck is Love Sport, then that’s totally understandable; it’s not every day that Finnish bands break in the US.  That’s until our friends over at Soliti sent me this catchy new single from the fan, and I was instantly hooked, meaning the band have officially made it Stateside.  It’s got the appeal of modern slacker indie rock, but the production is ten times better than that of someone recording in their bedroom. It gives the tune more punch, but also encourages you to spend time with the track, rather than listen to it in passing. They’ve just completed their 6 track EP, Almost Doesn’t Mean You Made It, which will be released on September 4th by Soliti…sounds like a deal to me.

Stream War Tuna from The Lochness Mobsters

Leave a comment

wartunaIt’s been a pretty good month for ATH Records, with our releases of Rose Selavy/Templo X split 7″, the Ocean Party announcement, and of course, the debut of The Lochness Mobsters.  Things rolled along pretty quickly, and while the Austin trio is out on the road, we wanted to make sure the rest of you folks were able to hear their excellent debut, War Tuna.  There’s touches of surf, garage, soul, pop, garage, and ultimately just good times. You can stream the jams below, and grab your own copy on all white vinyl HERE or HERE. Also, if you happen to be living out on the East, check this spot for their TOUR DATES. Austinites can welcome them home to the Grand on August 30th.

Another New Jam from Jacuzzi Boys

Leave a comment

Jacuzzi_Boys_Edited_2Just a short bit ago, we had a scorching rocker from Jacuzzi Boys to announce their new EP, but now they’ve settled into a different groove for their new single, “Sun.” This one’s got more of a chilled out vibe at the start, like you’re sitting on the patio relaxing after a day on the Miami beach (where the band is fun).  Still, they employ their hooks with a rocking chorus and a more emphatic closing to stick with the band’s penchant for rocking out.  Pretty sure this tune’s a hit. Look for their Happy Damage EP on September 18th via Magma.

There’s No Stopping Shopping

Leave a comment

unnamed-3If you haven’t already gotten behind Shopping, the three piece from East London, stop whatever you’re doing and fix that right this instant. They’ve got a new single for you to jam hard to today and you have no excuse not to listen to the post punk rhythm of “Straight Lines.” This may be my favorite track from the band that I’ve heard thus far, though it seems like that’s the case for each new song that I hear from the group which must be a sign that their upcoming records, Why Choose is destined to be a blistering hit with catchy guitar riffs and pop hooks to the post punk sound. You can pre-order Why Choose here from FatCat Records and get excited for its October 2nd release.
