This is fine.
I hope you’ll help me today in welcoming fresh on the scene German rock band Drens. The band has a great, garage pop rock sound best evidenced by their latest single “Curacao”. It features a blend of a guy like Ty Segall with more elements of pop rock music and beautifully constructed melodies. It’s likely we will be hearing more from this band very soon.
I know we’re all looking down the barrel of winter, possibly the worst one in years (if you believe in Ninos and climate change), so I feel like this Hollow Fortyfives track is a pretty solid track to keep you warm. It’s got that Cali shimmer of garage cum power pop that you know I adore you, offering you just a hint of warmth. You’ll even hear a bit of spoken words beneath the mix in the vein of a lot of old school surf/punk records, so it gets my stamp of approval. This is the title track off their Summertime Psychosis EP, available now.

Some days are for rock and roll, and thankfully the The Dying Shames are here to help. This band is a four piece from London who’ve got a brand spanking new EP up on their Bandcamp page for you to rock out with. They’ve got a bluesy garage sound to their lo-fi rock, and “The Bitch” below showcases this sound quite nicely. This self-titled EP is out officially in May, but take advantage of the tunes now; you won’t regret it.
Back in October I shared with you guys our first taste of NYC band Drowners in the form of new track “Luv, Hold Me Down”. Today the band are offering up another free track called “A Button On Your Blouse” found below. We are yet again treated to some great garage rock inspired pop music from these young gents. I expect more great things with the full album.
Pick up the new self-titled album on January 28th via Frenchkiss Records.
