Brand New Pains of Being Pure at Heart

May 15, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Unbeknownst to me, I’ve been anxiously awaiting new music from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. I didn’t know it was coming, but I’m glad to say, that the announcement of The Echo of Pleasure has brought with it a sense of joy. Clearly, Kip Berman’s style has evolved, dialing back on the distortion to allow for the clarity in his melodic pop songs. Still, the chorus erupts inhuge fashion, swirling distortion and melody the way very few can. The hooks are still there, and knowing what a huge fan of pop music Kip is, I couldn’t be more excited to see where else he’ll take us on his journey. Look for the new LP on July 14th via Painbow.

Killer Track From Surf Rock is Dead

August 14, 2015 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Now, that’s quite a silly name for a band, but this single below from the gentlemen is quite good. Surf Rock is Dead are a two piece with roots in Chicago and Melbourne, and this dichotomy of origin makes for an interesting sound. “Anymore,” the track I have for you today, blends quite a number of genres. For started, there’s the surfy guitar that welcomes you to the track, while the vocals harken back to 90’s emo bands. And then what starts as a jangly number becomes very streamlined toward the end; it’s an interesting blend, and I urge you to check it out. If you’re digging it, the band has an EP coming out soon on September 18th.
