Adan & Xavi Ready Debut Album

adaIn case you weren’t aware, there’s a couple of Spanish degrees and minors floating around behind the scenes at ATH, so we’re always intrigued by Spanish lyrics, especially when they’re draped over warm pop structures. On this new single from Adan & Xavi, they blend a strummed guitar, slide guitar and super-steady percussion to build this casual pop background for the delightful vocals. But, just because this track gives into the influences of Adan’s time in Mexico City, don’t be entirely sold on them using Spanish, as they’ve also got another track floating around that pulls in some classic Rod Stewart vibes. Don’t be afraid of pop without pretension…it’s good for you. You can hear their self-titled debut on March 4th via Everloving Records.

Great Tune from The Growlers

groLast year, The Growlers found their way into our Top 10 Albums of 2013, but it looks like they’re aiming for a repeat with the release of their new record, Chinese Fountain.  They’re off to a great start with this swaggering new single they released the other day; it’s filled with ringing guitars work and a really catchy chorus…you know, the type you want to sing with your friends.  I guess I’m just one of those folks who can’t get enough from this band; they always mix a certain catchiness with a bit of hip grit.  You can grab their record from Everloving Records on September 23rd.

Growlers Ready New Album

The-GrowlersIf you haven’t gotten aboard the Growlers train, it’s time you all jump on this train.  They actually had two releases last year, and already they’re back with another one, lined up for later this year. Hung at Heart was a great LP, so we expect more of the same, especially after indulging in this latest single.  It’s got their soulful swagger, yet this song seems to hold more onto the traditional ballad format; that’s not a bad thing, just a slightly different spin on their sound.  Their new album is title Chinese Fountain, which will see a release of September 23rd via Everloving Records.

More New Music From The Growlers

thegrowlersThe Growlers just sent us this brand spankin’ new track “Dogheart II” and we just had to share it here.  It fits my current garage rock mood, but also adds a little darkness to give some character to the track.  Hopefully you can find something about the track that you also enjoy.

New album, Gilded Pleasures, will be out November 12th via Everloving Records.

The Growlers Are Back

thegrowlersCalifornia based band The Growlers have been on our radar for a long time and we’re glad that they’re coming back in 2013 with a brand new EP.  This track “Humdrum Blues” is a taste of the new material and it couldn’t get me more excited for some new tracks from the group.  If you weren’t already paying attention to these guys, you should be know fools.

New EP Gilded Pleasures is due out November 12th via Everloving Records.
