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.

Childbirth Go Sinister For Their Second Single

Leave a comment

1903008_689358711103923_95482703_nWhen I shared this first single with you from Childbirth, I dug it, don’t get me wrong, but I was slightly apprehensive as to how this punk/ ultra lo-fi sound would transmit to other styles of songs. With this new track, “Let’s Be Bad” these ladies have completely erased the doubts from my mind. This song is a creeping, twisted, sinister sounding punk track that slowly evolves into a raging fireball of rock as the lyrics ironically urge us to do seemingly ‘bad’ things… like splitting dessert and ordering white wine . Now I’m properly excited for the release of Women’s Rights out on Suicide Squeeze Records on October 2nd.

Digging on This Quiet Hollers Tune

Leave a comment

quiethollersAs soon as this Quiet Hollers tune rolled out, I was hooked enough to play the track over and over again, with nothing else on my mind.  The vocals have a familiar air, similar to MMJ, but rather than jam it out in parts, I really enjoy the fact that the song has these minimal little movements, all brimming with hook-laden melodies. The band will release their self-titled LP on October 23rd just before heading out on the road to support it; they even have a date booked in Austin at the Blackheart. Have a feeling a lot of people will enjoy this jam.

Wax Idols Still Turning Heads

Leave a comment

I really admire Hether Fortune, and not because she’s an outspoken female artist (though that’s cool too!), but rather because she seems willing to really explore her own tastes and her own songwriting on her own terms.  I’m not saying that her new effort, American Tragic, will have no apparent correlation to her earliest work with Wax Idols, but it almost sounds like an entirely different band (albeit a band comprised entirely of Hether save percussion work). She’s always had an aura of darkness (real or perceived), but I like that there’s this focus of light in the tonal switches…especially around the 2.5 minute mark.  I read she was really into Beyonce during the year she recorded the new record, but I sweat I hear a bit of Madonna hiding too. The new effort will be out on October 16th via Collect Records.  It’s a change of pace, yet the songwriting is still just as good, if not better.

Are You Listening to Gorgeous Bully?

Leave a comment

11073436_867749073263478_1577676898116032283_oIt wasn’t long ago that I was raving about the latest from Gorgeous Bully, and here I am again begging you to go back and listen to the Manchester act.  This new tune went up yesterday, and it’s got a different feel than some of the latest work, though the lineage is still evident.  Vocally, there’s still that drawn out touch to it, but the rest of the track almost has a psychedelic Brit-pop feel, which wouldn’t offend me in the least. Not sure exactly where this fits in the release schedule since the artwork being used is from the last album, Dumb Ideals (if you don’t have it, what are you waiting for?), but when I know, I promise to fill you in.

Diet Cig Hit It Hard… Again!

So, Diet Cig are really on a roll these days with the singles they’ve been releasing. Back in July they gave us “Sleep Talk,” which was a great summery alternative hit that brought emo back to alternative. “Dinner Date,”  the other part of the 7″ that is coming out physically via Father/Daughter Records on September 18th, is a further exploration into that angsty sound. Alex Luciano’s vocals are packed with emotion and the delivery is a perfect match to the brief, yet powerful alternative rock track that explores what sounds like a bad time in the past. Take a listen and pick up that 7″ here on special edition vinyl.
