Sam Blasucci Returns With Witching Hour

Leave a comment

Sam Blasucci really caught my ear around this time last year with the release of his debut solo LP Off My Stars, which was a heavily spun piece by me. Blasucci doesn’t have any plans to slow down with his new solo work as another new album of material entitled Real Life Thing is due out on November 1st via Innovative Leisure. Prior to the full album, Sam was kind enough to send along a preview of the new material with this single “Witching Hour.” It turns a little bit, and delivers a more piano driven, slight Elton John undertone of inspiration, sound. I am here for it.

Dane Schumacher Shares New Track Timebomb

Leave a comment

Dane Schumacher is a name you might know from his time spent in the Los Angeles based indie rock band Subtle Orange as the primary songwriter and singer. While his previous band had a fairly straight rock focus, Dane recently stepped out on his own and has been creating tunes still in an indie rock genre, but with a more bedroom, or even dreamy pop focus. His latest single, “Timebomb,” shows this mixture of genres as you can hear a hint of garage rock intertwined with a more dreamy beat throughout. You can definitely see the influence of producer Teenage Priest on the song as it is equal parts mellow and sort of joyful at the same time.

New Banger From Brontez Purnell Trio

Leave a comment

Brontez Purnell is a guy who is hard to pin down artistically as he traverses all types of musical genres along with both dancing and writing. His latest comes by way of his trio of sorts featuring this new single “If You Can’t Help Me” which takes an old gospel standard and gives it a garage pop twist. The bass on this one is a particular stand out with some heavy distortion and an almost nasty vibe to it ala TV on the Radio. I am sure you will dig it below.

This track is a B-side to a new single release featuring “Forgive Me, Phillip” on the flip.

The Donnas + Real Gone Music

Leave a comment

As many of you maybe waited in ridiculously long lines on Saturday for your Record Store Day gems and must haves, I thought it might be an appropriate time to focus on one of my favorite reissue focused labels who won’t gouge or pander to resellers. Of course I’m talking about the Orange, California based label Real Gone Music who have seen many features on these here pages over the years. They have been absolutely killing it recently with thoughtful reissues which won’t require 4am wake up times and certainly won’t drain your bank account. If you care to read on, hit the jump (I promise to keep it short).

Check Out Future Memory From Rocket

Leave a comment

There has been a growing trend in indie rock music as of late with a focus on heavy guitar riffs and loud drumming from primarily female fronted bands. Think of the heavy hitters like Slothrust, Bully, Girl Scout, etc. etc. I am HERE for it and will push any and all new tunes from this style/trend. Los Angeles based Rocket just released this new single “Future Memory,” and it certainly hits on these themes while expanding the sound. I love the light touch of the verses as they explode into some super raucous and energy filled choruses. Bang on.

This track is part of a new EP from Rocket entitled Versions of You due out tomorrow! It will be available to stream on download on the Rocket bandcamp page.

Dark Wave From Great Northern

Leave a comment

California based outfit Great Northern shared this new track “Bad Light” late last week and today seemed like a good time to share. It shows a depth of dark wave pop for fans of say Beach House or The Kills but with heavier synth and even gothier undertones. The single comes as part of a series of new joints from this year which allude to an upcoming collection or album coming later this fall. Stay tuned.

Fieldrush Drop New Track “Jay Owen”

Leave a comment

We’re off and running with another busy week of quality tunes for you here on ATH and today I am pleased to share with you this new jam “Jay Owen” from the San Diego based outfit Fieldrush. While it might be labeled as post-emo to some, I think the band also offers a ton of energy and more traditional rock elements to pair with the somewhat slower moments. Ya also gotta feel the rhythm section on this one as the drums and bass absolutely slam together during the heaviest parts of the song. Check it out.

This song is part of a debut EP which does not yet have a release date so stay tuned.

Get Hip To Uni Boys

Leave a comment

As we sometimes get the label as the dudes who post nothing but sad bastard tunes, it’s refreshing when we can get a nice dose of indie rock for a Monday morning. Today my lil nugget of indie rock delight comes by way of this track “I Want it Too” from the Los Angeles based outfit Uni Boys. It blends just enough pop tones with some straight classic, jangly rock guitars to offer one heck of a catchy tune. Let it brighten your Monday mood.

Uni Boys will release this track as part of a new album entitled Buy This Now! which is due out on October 13th via Curation Records.

Check Out 300 Miles From Mirror Tree

Leave a comment

Los Angeles based artist Michael Gold writes and creates music under the moniker Mirror Tree and I am here to fully push his new project. Just today, this new single “300 Miles” hit the ground and features this intricate interplay of sounds ranging from psych, to indie pop to traditional Bengali folk. With such a blend of styles, one might expect the song to fall apart, but it does the opposite as it melds everything into a lovely pop number. Seeing the joy on Gold’s face in the video should also draw you into the song and it’s vibes.

Mirror Tree will be releasing this song as part of a debut LP due out on September 8th via Innovative Leisure. Pre-orders are live now.

Powerful New Tune From Nymphlord

Leave a comment

As we all navigate the incredibly frustrating and often baffling decisions being made by our so called “political leaders,” it can often help to let out a little anger and put pen to paper. That’s just what California based artist Nymphlord did after hearing about the recent, vomit inducing decision to overturn Roe V. Wade. Of course with such intimate and emotive subject matter, the song is a powerful one full of emotion and small hints of extreme rage near the end. I am here for every single bit of it. This one is out now via Lauren Records.

I Stand With Her.
