Another Scott and Charlene’s Wedding Hit

Leave a comment

scottandcharleneYep, this song rules. I think I’m in love with the direction Scott & Charlene’s Wedding are going, after offering up a pop hit from their new album…they turn to this more ramshackle ground. Now, that being said, there’s still some inherent pop sensibility, though with rougher edges…like a long lost TV Personalities track…or maybe early Parquet Courts for those just now catching on to things. This song features on the band’s new album, Mid Thirties Single Scene, which is being released by Fire Records on September 2nd.

Brand New Music from Scott & Charlene’s Wedding

Leave a comment

scottandcharleneTime for your weekly Australia feel, and I couldn’t think of a better way to dip my toes into Oceania than to turn up this rad new track from Scott & Charlene’s Wedding. While it definitely wears the influence of the current Aussie guitar scene, my ears hear it throwing things all the way back to late 80s college rock; I can almost hear Wire in the way the vocals are delivered too, emphatically shouted at various syllables. This tune will appear on their brand new album, Mid Thirties Single Scene, which is coming out on September 9th via Fire Records.

Surf City Lay Down New Tunes

Leave a comment

surf-cityAdmittedly, this Surf City tune slipped right by me. But, considering I’ve loved the band for quite some time, I had to make sure you guys heard this new tune.  This track shows the growth the band has made since we had them play our SXSW show a few years; they used to be coated in noisy distortion, but they’ve settled into a brand of pop that offers more accessibility whilst still holding true to their style.  You’ll hear this track on the band’s new album, Jekyll Island, which is being released later this year by Fire Records.

New Jam from Surf City

Leave a comment

surfcityFive years ago when we were just young bucks starting out on our site, we threw a small SXSW party at the now defunct ghost room.  One of the acts we were really excited to bring in was Surf City, and I’ve closely followed the group since those early days.  Through three albums, they’ve polished up their sound a little bit, bringing the excessive noise down a bit, choosing to replace it with more direct melodies.  They’ll have a new album coming out titled We Knew It Was Not Going to Be Like This, which comes out August 19th via Fire Records.  Should definitely be a good record to wrap up the summer.

New Tunes from Matthew Sawyer & the Ghosts

Leave a comment

It’s really been a slow summer, and a lot of big singles haven’t really crept out, so as I was clamoring for good tunes, I came across Mathew Sawyer & the Ghosts (via Catbird).  Ever since I came across this tune, I can’t stop playing it.  Using cello atop lightly strummed guitar while Sawyer’s vocals quiver a bit gets me every single time.  This track comes from his new album How Snakes Eat, which is out now on Fire Records.  Hope you enjoy.
