New Music from Dylan Shearer

February 27, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I thought Dylan Shearer was a great secret, and after spending a lot of time with his last effort, Porchpuddles, I was happy to keep it that way. But, like all great things, you can’t keep them to yourself for long, which is great for Dylan. He’s signed on with Empty Cellar and Castleface to do a joint release for his new album, Garagearray (what’s with the lack of spaces?). Dylan’s one of those artists that I think doesn’t need a lot of discussion about the tracks details and what not. Once you listen for a few times, you’re hooked. It’ll see a release on April 15th; be prepared to have yourself a new favorite artist.

John Dwyer is the New Mike Sniper

January 8, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As we’ve lamented lately (including this week) the hiatus of Thee Oh Sees, it looks like John Dwyer isn’t even stopping to think about it. That should completely be expected, considering the fact that his old band worked at a seemingly break-neck speed. But, what I didn’t entirely expect from Dwyer was this new synth-laden track under his new moniker, Damaged Bug. It’s similar to the work of Mike Sniper of Blank Dogs (where has he gone) in so far as it’s a largely electronic sound wrapped around a rock n’ roll attitude. Dwyer’s got a synth project and a label? He’s definitely the new Sniper. John’s record will be titled Hubba Bubba, and it will be released on February 25th via his label, Castleface.
