The Painted Hands Share Drawn & Quartered

Leave a comment

As of late, I’ve been delving into a big old pile of pop, and honestly, I’m totally cool with that, but digging the fact that The Painted Hands are here to blow my hair back a bit. They’ve got a pretty straight-forward approach here, sort of taking on that heavier brand of garage rock you’d get at a riotous punk show. It’s all about energy and push, though we hope you’re pushing with kindness if you’re running that circle pit around your local hood (and masked too!). This jam goes out to all the old folks like me who missed the 666th Oh Sees show at Hotel Vegas this past weekend. You can turn it up real loud, then be sure you sample the rest of the fun that the New Orleans have up their sleeve on their recent LP, Gloss!

Pink Chameleons Announce Peace and Love

Leave a comment

Toady we bring you great news, with Finnish outfit Pink Chameleons returning to the fold with their debut LP, Peace and Love. Those of you that were into garage rock will want to lend a close ear here, as the band have a banger of a tune. It’s all fuzzy riffs and nods to power pop hooks that leave you with anthemic sing-along choruses you won’t get out of your head. The pounding drum work feels like the band’s marching up to your door clapping hands to the beat and ready to drag you outside for a day in the sunshine! Infectious and fun, you’ll be stoked to get your hand on the band’s debut album, dropping May 21st via Soliti Music.

Fun Rocker from Steakfry

Leave a comment

Just a few months ago, Steakfry dropped the Gunslinger EP, and now he’s turned around to churn out a full album’s worth of news tunes…one of which is down below. What’s presented below is that classic guitar rock sound; it constantly feels like its losing itself within the confines of the song, but its held together by the vocals. Not unlike Jay Reatard, there’s enough melody to hint at classic pop sensibility in the voice, and it truly is what ties this song all together. Fun way to start off a Monday I reckon. Album should be out later this year.

More From Brother Sports

Leave a comment

If you weren’t aware and trying to hate, the ATX music scene is still very much alive and well with new music coming out all the time. My evidence of the vibrant scene comes today from locals brother sports and their new track “I Still Remember (siempre)”. I like the relaxed, cool vibe of the song which plays nicely with the infectious beat and hazy themes. It seems as though we better start paying attention to this up and coming band as they continue to put out solid new music.

More From Drens

Leave a comment

It’s wild to hear such a garage inspired, sludgy, surf rock number like “Heat” coming out of the Dortmund. Not that the city isn’t capable of producing such sounds, it’s simply refreshing to hear a European band like Drens with some edge and grit. Pairing this new one with their last single “Curacao” and the band really seem like they might be on the verge of breaking it big over here. Stay tuned for more information on these upstarts and a planned debut LP coming soon.

Jettes Share Another Ditty

Leave a comment

Having already introduced you to one of the catchy tracks from Jettes debut EP, it only seems fitting that I would back that up with another of the duo’s infectious tunes. This one has Melody Connor taking on the vocal duties while the pace is furious and fun; it’s in the vein of the garage lore we all know love. Laura Lee’s backing vocals jumping from time to time only solidify the band’s hook factor; this is especially true when they come in offering a more anthemic note to support Connor, likely the perfect moment in the live setting. There’s a lot of fun here, so go ahead and blast this one through your speakers!

Gritty Pop From Vacation

Leave a comment

Summer presses along this week with no more soccer to watch but plenty of rocking tunes to add to your playlist. On this lovely Monday morning we have this new track called “Deflector Head” from Cincinnati based rock group Vacation. The song has a very nice, gritty, driving pop/rock sound to it perfect for your next pool party or adventure.

Vacation will release new album Mouth Sounds #2699 on July 27th via Let’s Pretend Records.

Get Rowdy With Calva Louise

Leave a comment

It’s Thursday, the weekend is in sight, and I’m ready to party. At the moment, the band who seems the best prepared to party with me is London based artist Calva Louise. The trio has just sent along this new track “Outrageous” and it’s a raucous and fast rock n roll song. Imagine if a band like Death From Above added a lady lead singer like Marissa Paternoster from Screaming Females. If nothing else, it’s sure to wake your ass up this morning.

Real Banger From Table Scraps

Leave a comment

Man when things get busy around here, they really get busy. I’ve been pushing through quite a hectic time with the ol real job recently, but I can always find some time to publish new rock n roll tunes. Today I’m back on the wagon with this real banging garage rock tune called “Sick of Me” from Birmingham, UK based band Table Scraps. This thing is basically a simple, straightforward rock number similar to something you might hear from Ty Segall or the like. You shall enjoy.

Table Scraps will release Autonomy on February 3rd via Zen Ten Records.

Silent Pictures Offer Throwback Garage Rock

Leave a comment

unnamed (5)Bay area indie rock band Silent Pictures has just sent over this new single “Twisted Smiles” and I thought it might be something you guys would be interested in. This one sounds like a bit of throwback style garage rock to me with some elements of psych and dreamy brit pop mixed in nicely. I’ve already played this one about three times this morning and I’m positive many of you will be doing the same today.

Let it Be will be released on July 15th via Green Fuse Records.
