No Peeling Ask Can I Pet That Dog?

Leave a comment

There is a long history of punks and hardcore kids kicking out frantic jams in a short span; I think of acts like Tony Molina or Snooper (or the band I worked for, These Enzymes!) who’ve garnered a lot of love recently. Well, let us introduce you to No Peeling, a band working on the same process, cranking out these smashing punk vibes in a super-jittery fashion. From the moment you press go, they rush in with smattering of drums and these riffs that seemingly dance about in the cramped musical space. There’s a coyness in the vocals, which creates a sense of playfulness that certainly accompanies the on-going question of “can I pet that dog?” The Nottingham outfit are offering their No Peeling EP via Feel It Records on September 5th; surely you’ve got time to cram 7 songs into 8 minutes!

Maura Weaver Shares Prince + Readies Strange Devotion

Leave a comment

The latest single from Maura Weaver is going to feel like somewhat of anomaly in the masses of the current indie climate; it’s got an opening that hits on dreamy bedroom pop, akin to various other acts, but then goes completely left turn and hits on on the alt rock vibes of the 90s. It’s a brilliant switch, catching the listener off-guard, and crafting just enough DIY aesthetic to pull the cool kids along into the delightful world of pop music. It makes sense that there’s nods to Liz Phair, as you can hear that sort of crossover magic, where folks from all walks of listening habits will pine over this new single. It’s all accomplished with a sincerity that feels like Maura is just writing on their own terms and finding what feels right; it all feels gloriously right, so Strange Devotion should be out on September 19th via Feel It Records.

Show Preview: Artificial Go @ Chess Club – Tonight (6.9)

Leave a comment

Monday nights can be such a drag, but Chess Club is giving you the perfect opportunity to get out of your house and enjoy a sweet little rock n’ roll show. Cincinnati outfit Artificial Go are blowing into town on the backs of their most excellent Musical Chairs LP (Feel It Records), and they’ve made several lists like the Stereogum Best of 2025…in case that sort of thing matters. Musically, they’ve got a bit of Raincoats, a bit of New Zealand and a bit of Dry Cleaning, but all spun in a truly unique fashion that has this dad willing to leave the house on a Monday night. Bonus points for all the great openers like Wet Dip, Variety, and Guiding Light…all acts we’ve covered on our end. Doors are at 8 PM – $15. See you there!

Premiere: Lung – Clown Car Video

Leave a comment

Here we are again with another rad tune from the confines of Cincinnati, forever reminding us that labels like Feel It Records are the backbone of the current scene; this time they’re letting us share a great new tune from the duo, Lung. The entirety of the new record began with roots in the tune below, giving birth to this mystical character named the Swankeeper, and while the mythology behind the character grew up here, I’d love it if we merely focused on the musical side for a minute. Sharp drum hits from Daisy Caplan burst into the tune within seconds, letting Kate Wakefield start to deliver her vocal work. Not a moment later, you’re greeted with this cacophony of discord, billowing with anxiety and putting you on edge; I still marvel that this much danger and noise comes from Wakefield’s manipulation of the cello. In a sense, it reminds me of Sleigh Bells, building minimalist hooks in this artistically refreshing way; you’ll want to be sure you order a copy by the time the Swankeeper hits on May 30th.

Artificial Go Release Hallelujah Single

Leave a comment

Not sure what is up with the water in Cinncinati, but the music scene there is ridiculously rich at the moment, and you can add Artificial Go to one of the hottest acts coming out of the city. Personally, I’m crossing my fingers for a Serfs/Artificial Go joint tour, but I digress. On their latest single, they take their sound and employ a little bit of what we’d expect from an Australian/New Zealand outfit…like a ringing Flying Nun nod, albeit one drenched in American alternatives, particularly in the bass work. The steady stomp matched up against those angular jangles hits all the right notes, giving us this little DIY shimmy I’ve had stuck in my head since yesterday. Musical Chairs is out on May 16th via Feel It Records.

Kilynn Lunsford Releases Promiscuous Genes

Leave a comment

When we reflect upon music as a commodity, we forget that our favorite acts were first and foremost artists, creators; they didn’t aim for algorithms or sponsorships, but rather lived, breathed and died for art. If you find yourself searching for such projects, might we suggest the latest from Kilynn Lunsford, who feels a bit like the demon spawn of Yoko Ono and Kim Gordon. On the latest single, your first greeting is this trudging stomp through some unknown hallway whilst echoes from spirits bounce across the horizon. As you push on, the song evolves into this anti-club banger, working on a heavy beat as Lunsford spouts free verse lines at the listener. Eventually, the song falls into madness, echoes abundant and everything seems like the world is falling apart beneath you. You won’t find a listen quite like this. Her new album, Promiscuous Genes, is out on May 16th via Feel It Records.

Artificial Go Play Musical Chairs

Leave a comment

We get a lot of emails, and I have a strange way of listening to the lot; I open 20+ tabs and just bounce back and forth between them to see what sticks in my brain…but then there was this Artificial Go track that just kept coming on and on again, and I couldn’t stop playing it. Going back to the email of the tune, it was talking about C86 and Sarah, but the more I played it, the more something felt very Raincoats-ish. It’s got that same sort of punk sentiment, using sharp guitar sounds to crank out melodies with a snappy little drum kicking right behind to maximize the hook. Then, soak up the vocals; they’re joyous and bouncy, except when they’re not, and they hit a sharper attitude, all throwing caution to the wind and bounding forward with exuberance. Their new record Musical Chairs will be out on May 16th via Feel It Records.

Gentle Leader XIV Share Title Track, Joke in the Shadow

Leave a comment

In a world full of immediacy, for which I’m admittedly a sucker, Gentle Leader XIV are offering up an entirely different brand of electronica than our typical fare. For starters, the drawl of the drum sampling seems to be tugging at the time stamp, holding it one place for the track’s duration. Even when the synths take on their full approach, there’s restraint; just listen to the nod to Depeche Mode after the 30 second mark. All of this work leaves plenty of space to be filled, and while the vocals entering adds another layer, even there, the song has space to move and wiggle. You get a ripping guitar cutting into the song’s middle, yet it all feels tethered to the percussive march, and in the end you’re left with this brilliant blanket of modern pop that greets you on its own terms. Their new record, Joke in the Shadow, is out on April 18th via Feel It Records.

Why Bother Announce You Are Part of the Experiment EP + Share Listen

Leave a comment

After churning out a couple of killer LPs last year, Iowa’s Why Bother, the group are set to return with a brand new EP titled You Are Part of the Experiment. We’re pleased to bring you the opening track from the record, but be forewarned, excessive volume is likely to blow through your speakers. Listeners will be treated to some audio samples, and then suddenly, you’re hit with a barrage of buzzsaw guitars; they’re gritty and blown out, giving off the vibe that you’re being chased through the hallways of some insane asylum. Vocals are delivered in a rather disaffected manner; the kind where each lyric is spoken as a matter of fact, but the melodic nature pokes its head out from time to time, like when the line of “I don’t care/I’m not going to listen anymore” is followed by a few syllabic harmonies. If you love to let your speakers live on the edge, turn this one up, then grab the EP from Feel It Records before the April 18th release date!
