Another Track from Purling Hiss

September 3, 2014 nathan.lankford

Press. Play. Screech. Off into the wandering guitar solo that opens the song, met by another progression underneath it that slowly unwraps the song’s melody. Enter vocals. They’re laying somewhere in between the realms of T. Moore and J. Mascis, though that’s owed more to their delivery; they do have their own little touch that’s noticeable before the song’s return to instrumentation. Listening back to a song like this, I wonder why there’s not a larger buzz for Purling Hiss. Their album Weirdon will be released on September 23rd, and I’ll be one of those picking it up that very day.

New Rocker from Tigers Jaw

April 30, 2014 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Last year, things looked pretty bleak for Scranton, PA’s Tigers Jaw, when a large portion of the band decided to call it quits. However, this didn’t stop the founding members from rebooting the band and coming back with more ‘kick-you-in-the-face,’ but in a good way, rock’ n ‘ roll. This new track, “Slow Come On,” has got great alternative rock, post-punk driving guitar and elevated vocals of Ben Walsh all throughout, complete with minute details that keep you hooked. Their fourth full length LP, Charmer will be out via Run For Cover Records on June 3rd, which you can also pre-order here, so get excited.
