Last Week’s Jams (7.29 – 8.2)

Pretty sure our coverage crushed it this last week; I think there was one day where we covered ten songs in a single day! But, I’m about to end my summer break, so don’t expect that too much more. Alas, we had album shout outs for Blood, Male Gays, Aaberg, True Optimist and Teenage Tom Petties. Some of my favorite acts returned to the fold, like the Smashing Times and Pop FilterYoung Scum had a new jam, but it’s not streaming yet. Big hits from Chimers, The Gabys and the Softies kept us busy…and always nice to have a Chime School tune too! Enjoy the streams of last week’s jams!

Chimers Ready Through Today LP

As much as it might pain our friend Norman Wanklord, 12XU is putting out some of the best records of the year; they’ve already dropped Water Damage and Winged Wheel LPs, among a few compilations…and they’re not done yet, as they now have Chimers ready to rock. This tune’s all about immediacy, with thundering drums pounding through the speakers from the moment the guitars rip off, running discordantly. If you pulled back the vocals, you’d have this growling rock tune, dangerous in both vibe and energy. But, that’s just the point, there are vocals, and while they feel weighted, they have this cooled emotion, balancing out the primal nature and building in the faintest hint of pop sensibility. Through Today is out on November 8th.
