New Fun Pop From First Rate People

One comment

636First Rate People created a lot of buzz a couple of years ago with 2 upbeat pop songs with promise of a full album of recorded material soon to follow.  Well the band went quiet after that initial buzz and took a bit longer to record their debut album than originally planned.  The debut LP is now said to be ready for release sometime later this year and a new single appearing on the album “Dark Age” can be found below.  I’m hearing a great song for summer complete with catchy beats, sunny sounds, and nice electronics that fill in as you go.  Stay tuned for more from these guys.

More New Music From The Dig

Leave a comment

dig-photo-1New York based group The Dig just released their stellar new EP Tired Hearts today (available for purchase on their website). To celebrate the release of the new extended play, the band are offering up this new track “Over you Again” via their soundcloud page. It’s a similar sort of slow burning tune with hushed vocals that can slowly build into a nice climax during the chorus complete with distorted guitars over it all. If you’re into it, say thanks to the boys buy buying a copy of the new EP.

New Mellow Jam From Cloud Control

Leave a comment

cloudcontrolAussie group Cloud Control is a band we have close ties to here at ATH since they played one our SXSW parties a few years ago. Today the band has sent along this new track called “Dojo Rising” which is the first we’ve heard from the group since the release of their great indie pop record Bliss Release in 2011. The track shows a sense of growing up a bit and maturing their sound with an added hint of electronic synths in place of the familiar jangly pop guitars. I dig the stylistic change as it makes the band a bit more enticing and versatile as the move forward creatively.

New album Dream Cave will be coming stateside on September 17th via Votiv.

A Make It Through Your Afternoon Mix

Leave a comment

Ian Orth is a busy guy these days. Spinning as one half of Learning Secrets, leading the band Orthy and putting together some sweet mixes in his spare time. Hell, he was even recently featured in Tribeza Magazine.

So, I introduce to you one of his recently shared mixes. It was for El Paso’s Late Night Social Club. There be smooth beats here and you can download it. Ian has a knack for picking the remixes that don’t suck and making them work together, so nod your head through the rest of your workday and download it for your weekend.

Anyone have a set of lungs I could borrow?

Gentle Folk from Horse’s Ha

Leave a comment

HorsesHa_OuterjacketFeel like I need to cleanse myself from the rock n’ roll after spending my weekend at Chaos in Tejas, so this new track from Horse’s Ha is perfect.  I really love how the song opens up with the female vocals from Janet Bean atop the intricate guitar work, but then James Elkington makes his entrance, dropping a deeper vocal; the additional musical accompaniment just puts a cherry on top of it all, including the nice backing vocal. The group will be releasing their new record, Waterdown, on August 20th via Fluff and Gravy Records.

Rad Rock from The Memories

Leave a comment

347I’ve been jamming to the Memories for a good bit of time, but this new tune is really unexpected, in a good way.  Personally, I like the humor in this track, which isn’t entirely new, yet the overall attitude of the track is much more relaxed.  Of course, I can also relate to all those girls who don’t speak Spanish; it’s a big deal for RayRay and myself.  The group’s got a new record coming out on Burger Records; it’s titled Love is the Law and it will see a release date of July 23rd.  Just another great installment in this group’s growing career.

New Music from Scraper

Leave a comment

scraperSeeing as there’s tons of punk rock all over town due to Chaos in Tejas, I think it’s only fitting that I put up some new rock n’ roll by Scraper.  The group has just signed on to release their debut 7″ on God?, which is the baby brother of Drag City.  It’s a fast paced jam, filled with discordant guitars, shouted lyrics and an old school bravado that I’ll always appreciate.   You want to unleash some pent up aggression? You’re not going to find a better track than this tune.

Chaos In Tejas Pick: The Men @ Red 7 (5/31)

Leave a comment

The Men

Date 5/31/13
Location Red 7
Doors 6pm
Tickets $12 @ Frontgate

The Chaos continues this evening with what might be my most anticipated show of the festival.  I am of course speaking of The Men playing over at Red 7 this evening.  Having seen the band several times in the live setting, I can attest to the fact that they will bring the pain and make your ear drums bleed (in a good way).  Let’s not forget that the undercard is also loaded with Destruction Unit, Lust For Youth, Pharmakon, Marshstepper, and Bodies of Light all in tow to offer up support.
