Have Fun With Team Spirit

September 9, 2014 RayRay

When your Monday just got you down, why not introduce a little pop punk music into your life to brighten what could be a dreary Tuesday? Brooklyn based band Team Spirit can provide the perfect music for this mood with their new track “Surrender”. It’s a an easy to like track with it’s rockin’ power chords and fun vocals to boot. I’m already enjoying the day twice as much as I was before.

Pick up new album, Killing Time, via Vice on September 30th.

New Psych Rock From The Britanys

August 13, 2014 RayRay

Brooklyn based The Britanys is a band that I honestly knew very little about before writing this post. What I do know is a quality rock song when I hear it. This one called “Blow” has a bit of quirkiness to it with the hi pitched vocals and washed out sound creating some special moments. All in a all, an interesting song worth your time.

These guys have a new EP coming out on September 9th.

Spooky Track From Truthers

July 2, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

Truthers is yet another Brooklyn band we can add to the long list of groups we need to be listening to from the area. Today the group are sharing with us this sweet and spooky new track called “Most Ghouls Agree”. The track has a sort of throwback style to it similar to something you might have heard in the 50s doo wop age. Enjoy.

A pre-order for a 7″ featuring this track and one other is now up at Glad Tidings Records.

Bratty Tune from EULA

June 11, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Remember when the YYYs were a force to be reckoned with, musically speaking? Listening to this new single from Brooklyn’s EULA I get the same impression, though I think it could hit even harder had the band wanted to go that way. The song’s propelled by a shouted vocal that operates over a discordant guitar chord ringing atop a bubbling little bass line. Percussion here is rather low in the mix, but it creates this thrilling sense of anxiety that pulls the listener along. It’s the A-side to the band’s new 7″ that sees a release from Bloodmoss Records on July 15th.

Pleased to Meet You: Landlady

March 3, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Collective groups are always interesting. Sometimes you get to witness the powerful combination of songwriters, and other times, you get to watch things fall apart. Landlady, the project of Adam Schatz of Man Man and his friends is picking up steam out of Brooklyn. They’ve released a new single as they finish up work on their new album, which is slated for a summer release on Hometapes. This tune begins with a little piano tinkering before working in some jittery vocals that are reminiscent of Schatz’s main project. The group heads on into Austin for SXSW, and while they’re name might not be out there just yet, it’s definitely one you should keep on your radar…even if you’re not going to be here for the festival.

SXSW 2014 Interview: Fletcher C. Johnson

February 26, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Fletcher C. Johnson reminds me a lot of Nobunny, in some manner. They have a similar vocal delivery, though FCJ seems to have his own approach on things, adding a bit more sheen and twang to it. It makes sense, as they’ve got relatives in Texas, so that’s kind of cool.

New Pop Music From No Kill

February 18, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

Just when I think I’ve covered every band in the Brooklyn area, another one comes along to remind us that the city is a enormous hot bed of growing indie bands. Today I’m sharing with you this new group No Kill. It’s a sort of dreamy pop sound with nicely distorted guitars popping in from time to time. When listening to their tunes, I’m reminded of girl led pop bands like Headlights (RIP). Hope you enjoy.

The band recently dropped a new EP entitled New Dirt that can be downloaded for free on the group’s bandcamp page.

February 11, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

SXSW comes earlier and earlier every year doesn’t it? Prepared or not, the festival is right around the corner and of course we’re going to get you ready as best we can. Interviews are a great way to get a varying perspective from band and I’m going to kick mine off today with one featuring Brooklyn upstart Clouder. I haven’t know about these guys too long, but what I’m hearing, I’m digging big time. Based on these interview responses, I think I might just like the guys even more. Check it out after the jump.

New Single From Clouder

February 4, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

Brand new upstart Austin label Fleeting Youth Records has been sending me some great tunes recently which should solidify them as a label to watch in 2014. This new track called “Lost in Reverie” by Brooklyn based Clouder is yet another tune from this growing collective. I dig the dark pop sound accompanied by the creepy Jim Morrison like vocals. Stay tuned for more.

Sophomore album, Sister Raygun, is due out on March 4th.

New Music From The Tower of Light

January 28, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

I’ve been looking for some way to describe this new tune “Honey Resist” from Brooklyn based The Tower of Light, but I am coming up majorly short. Some may place it in the shoe gaze genre, and I’d be cool with that I guess? I’m hearing something more than that hear with the mesmerizing atmospheric feel to the song. And damn, those vocals put me in a trance.

Check out the new self-titled album on February 4th via Felte.
