Last Week’s Jams (10.13 – 10.17)

There was a lot of really great music, and in all likelihood, we’re nearing the end of the yearly cycle, where I expect to kind of see a flutter of singles then the lists will pop up! On our end, we covered a lot of the ATX this week, with new stuff from Jet Cemetery, Don’t Get Lemon, Gus Baldwin and Living Set. There were some new tunes that really rocked me, like Deathcat‘s pop punk masterpiece, not to mention the new Winged Wheel noise pop piece. Even managed to find some room for old favorites like Living Hour, Pia Fraus and Bubblegum Lemonade among the masses! Crank this playlist up, as it starts with a banger from Possible Humans.

Adults Share Flag Single

Through the first two singles from their forthcoming album, Adults have been delivering energetic pop-punk with a nod to their fellow UK friends. This new single, however, works with the vocal interplay and a bit more of a slow-burning stomp. At times, it seems like the vocals are working against each other, such is the nature of the tones; they collide eventually, providing a nice little melodic hook that reminds us of the joys of listening to their craft. Be sure to take a breath, as the band does just beyond the 2 minute mark, and wait for them to sail back in with big hooks! The Seeds We Sow Are Growing Buds Nonetheless drops on October 31st via Fika Recordings.

Last Week’s Jams (9.22. 9.26)

It was a hectic week on my end, and RayRay up and left town (to travel to Detroit!), so I snuck in a bunch of gems I think you’ll really enjoy, all of them presented in a little playlist for your pleasure. I was stoked to see our friends in Pop Filter back with a new album and single, so be sure to listen to “Dirt Road Anthem.” Also in the unexpected great news realm, Tony Molina has a new LP on the way, and well, we’ve opted to include all 3 of the singles he released, as there’s never a bad time for Tony! We got UK stuff too, with new Pynch, Adults and Teenage Tom Petties, so that’s at least three continents represented in this 20 track collection for you all!

Adults Share Crying Single

If you’re in need from some good old fashioned pop punk from the UK, might we suggest you dive into this new single from Adults. After hitting us hard with “Patterns,” the group are offering a more subtle blast of rock n’ roll this time, choosing to use the power of dual vocals. Those vocals overlap, building a hook that encourages pop fans to swoon; they mix it up, working against one another as the track progresses, keeping up just enough differentiation to keep it interesting. Behind it all is this shooting distorted guitar, providing the proper edge that makes you feel alive. The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless is out on October 31st via Fika Recordings.

Last Week’s Jams (8.26 – 8.31)

Stella is getting her groove back, or at least I am. Managed to get my feet underneath me a little bit this past week, so we’ve got a pretty decent amount of tracks to represent. Threw out a couple of premieres for the homies at Feel It Records, with new No Peeling and Fan Club dropping this week. Turned around and dropped some Austin love for Skloss and Whisper too, which is always a goal. Really enjoyed my own introduction to the tragic story of Stroik, with a powerful tune you should put on your radar. Nice to see some favorites on the dial too like Sharp Pins and Frog. But man, this Happy Dust Gang tune in here is just my jam!

Adults Announce The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless

Admittedly, the title of the album might be a touch long-winded, but that doesn’t detract from the excitement bubbling inside my brain as there’s news of a fresh Adults record. The group have consistently set out to craft a joyous brand of indie rock akin to Martha, and this go round, they feel like they’re swimming riot there with their peers. The layered way the vocals work in this tune seems to create this natural brand new melody, so you’ve got the traditional one being supplanted by a layered melody, all of it swirling around these lightly growling guitar lines that will make all the indie kids jealous. Crank it up and look for The Seeds We Sow Are Sprouting Buds Nonetheless to rise to the top when Fika Recordings drop it on October 31st.

Adults and Spank Hair Announce Split EP

You’ve got to hand it to the good folks at Fika Recordings, again showing their excellent tastes by lining up this new split …In the Big League EP from Adults and Spank Hair. While the two groups generally sound vastly different, if you pair these tracks together, you can hear the ties that bind them, and us, together. Adults offer “Trouble,” which really takes off after the 30 second mark; you’ll hear the increased spirit in the recording, tethering their jangling brand of pop to the sheer earnestness of Spank Hair. For their part, Spank Hair share “Cowboy Scene,” which bears some sonic similarities to acts like Martha or Spook School, pulling in an old school power punk with giant hooks that’ll have you singing atop your lungs! They’ll drop their …In the Big League EP, including a limited zine, on May 22nd.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (10.10 – 10.14)

There were a lot of great songs coming our way last week, as well as a lot of great album to spend time with when you got to Friday. We tried to make sure we got your ears on as much as we could, so hopefully you can revisit those posts from last week to grab a little bit of joy from those tunes. If not, then you can certainly stream all the tracks we had in this fun little weekly wrap-up. We had new stuff from Hot Tubs Time Machine, Shake Chain and Ribbon Stage; we then made mention of Reds Pinks and Purples, Winter, Chorusgirl and more in our album streams. Just sample the songs below; you’ll be just fine.

Friday Album Streams: Adults, Chorusgirl, RPPs + More

There have been some really great tracks that have all led us to the release this week, and we’ve spent some time hopefully supporting the stuff that hits the hardest, in our books anyways. Most of these, other than one, probably haven’t gotten as much hype as they deserve, thus, here I am to be that voice. So, I’ve collected those album streams and encourage you to go grab copies for your collection, as all of these releases are worth spending your time with today.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (9.19 – 9.23)

Happy Monday! Man, we covered a ton of ground last week, and I’m super stoked with the songs we squeezed into this playlist…and for the first time all of them are available on one streaming platform. That either means my tastes have gotten super basic, or those DSPs have taken over! Either way, there were a bunch of songs to love last week. I’m smitten with this new track from Kindsight, and I can’t stop playing that Cozy Slippers tune, so that’s a fun place for you to start. We get bonuses as members of Math and Physics Clubs have created two new bands, both with great new singles: Field School and Model Shop. Just a bunch of great jams to get your morning off on the right track.
