The Tammy Shine Announces Debut LP

Leave a comment

Please stay with us, as this may be a long-winded rant of a post. For starters, let’s begin with Tammy Ealom, the frontperson behind the new project, The Tammy Shine. You might recognize her as the tour de force behind legendary Denver band, Dressy Bessy; we were huge fans of the band’s work, so we’re already really excited just thinking about Tammy’s songwriting. Then, I start to think back to 2009 when we hosted Dressy Bessy at our SXSW show at the Victory Grill; it was there that I met and partied with my wife for the first time! Now, as life comes full-circle, our friends at HHBTM Records are putting out The Tammy Shine’s debut, and we’ve got the brand new video fresh for your ears. This track opens with a fuzzy little riff wiggling back and forth before settling into a locked groove that allows the vocals to take their place. What’s clear on this single is the way that Tammy takes ownership of the song, and the art she’s putting out; you can hear in the bite from her voice that this is a take-no-prisoners brand of pop rock…the best sort, if you ask us. It’s crunchy with a smattering of hooks, and you’ll be able to find it all on Ok Shine Ok, which comes out on February 20th via HHBTM.

The Goods Announce Debut LP

Leave a comment

It’s Friday, and the odds are you had a long weekend, good or bad or all of the above, so you need to breezy pop of the Goods in your life this morning. When the guitar came crashing into my speakers, I immediately felt the rays of sunshine looking in on me; the mood was enhanced by a stomping of classic pop drumming, pushing the pace and punch while driving home the harmonies. There’s an extra snappy bit popping off near the 1:30 mark that just crushes, so be sure you stick around for the whole tune if you want to max out your pop requirement for the day. Don’t Spoil the Fun is out on October 24th via Dandy Boy Records.

Blanco Tranco Prep Debut LP

Leave a comment

After a handful of EPs and Singles, it looks like Melbourne’s Blanco Tranco are ready to drop a debut, slated for release later this year. Here we get to work into their sound by cranking this new darkened shoegaze ballad, operating with these crystalline guitar notes echoing throughout their cavernous world. I love how they manage to kind of carry this youthful vibrance in their delivery of the vocals, which seems to contrast the heavier edges of distortion that swirl around the entirety of the tune. This is a good entry point to the band too, and if you like what you’re hearing, circle back to their earlier I‘ve Been Dying to Tell You EP as we await the new LP!

The Blue Knots Share Bike By

Leave a comment

You may recognize the name Danielle Stech-Homsy, who made a name for herself under the moniker Rio en Medio, but at this time, that’s on hold as she turns towards a new solo endeavor, The Blue Knots. Listening through the latest single from the record, there’s this childlike joy in its simplicity, resonating with the Danielle’s note that “it’s the stillness that let’s you see what’s going on beneath the surface.” Embrace that concept and sit with this song for a moment, let it hang about as the notes flicker in and out, listen for the careful details, whether that’s the percussive element or the vocals or the way notes begin to quietly collide as the song evaporates before your ears. The debut LP from this project, Becoming Noise, is out on April 25th.

Jangus Kangus Drops Double Lives

Leave a comment

It’s all about guitars and sunny riffs over here with Jangus Kangus; this song opens up like a fresh blossom on your favorite tree, which I’m hoping coincides with Spring time! The guitar notes on this song danced brightly from the get-go, magically spinning listeners before the vocals join in the party. While there’s some immediacy in this track, I appreciate the way they pull you back and forth, spring you forward with brightness, then pulling you back into a more contemplative realms of dreamy pop goodness. This is just another offering from their forthcoming debut LP, which is shaping up to be a nice ray of sunshine…look for it this April!

Share Announce Debut LP

Leave a comment

If you’ve got a band featuring current and former members of acts like Jay Som, Half Stack and Fake Fruit, then folks better take notice, as that pedigree is a guaranteed hit parade…which is the case with Share. That said, the sum of all their parts feels rather fresh, like if you were to find a modern power pop band delving into the Replacements back catalog. There’s attitude and earnestness in the vocals, but you’ll also find a special moment lurking around the 1:50 mark, where voices collide and the track settles into a sense of wonderment before jamming right back into that fun swagger. They’ll be releasing their debut LP, Have One, on August 9th via the esteemed Forged Artifacts.

Amelia Coburn Shares Peek at Debut LP

Leave a comment

There’s been a bit of buzz overseas about Amelia Coburn, especially when Bill Ryder-Jones signed on to work with Amelia for her debut LP. Today, we get this great bit of dramatic pop that puts Coburn’s gifts on full-display. There’s this playfulness to the video version of the tune, something hinting at the magical notions that are toyed with in the lyrical content. Musically, this is pop of another era, though fittingly, right at home as everything old becomes news. Sweeping strings and bounding bits of old-time keys give the track proper movement as the tune pushes the vocals high into the mix. A nice introduction; we should know more about the new LP as the new year dawns.

Stream A Bad Dream in a Raging Sea

Leave a comment

The last several years, the mysterious Waves of Dread have teased us with single after single, walking that line between dream pop and shoegaze, consistently creating these tunes that wash over us with emotion. And now, we’ve finally got the debut LP from the group, fulfilling all the promise they’ve left us with through the years. Just take a listen to the opening tune; it opens with this trickling bit of pop, careful not to show its cards…and then it drops in and hits you with a wave of dread (see what I did there!). Throughout the entirety of A Bad Dream in a Raging Sea, you’re confronted with your own tastes and opinions…would you like them to sink into the melody or would you like them to step on the pedals? Either way, we all win; stream the LP below!

Who Is She Share 96 Ghouls

Leave a comment

Who Is She is going to be on everyone’s playlist this week I reckon, as the band’s a supergroup made up of members of Chastity Belt, Lisa Prank and Tacocat, leaving us with the impression that there’s no way you can’t like this! You immediately get this bob and weave from the bass line as you press play, flirting with that sort of frantic post-punk as the guitars knife their way into the picture. Two vocal pieces impact your listening, with a sedate vocal in the front of the mix, while you get an emphatic group chant jumping in to punch up the style. I’ve only heard one track, and I know I’ll be grabbing their Goddess Energy LP; it drops on August 25th via Father Daughter Records.

Groover From Exit Kid

Leave a comment

After a string of EPs over the last few years, London based outfit Exit Kid took some time in the studio and now have a full length debut LP ready for release later this year. Prior to that drop, the band just shared this new rocker called “Classic Life.” It features a driven guitar inspiration falling in a sort of alt-rock genre but with some brightness and delicate touches to make it softer around the edges. Stay tuned for more on the upcoming debut LP release date and surely more singles to come.
