Last Week’s Jams (2.17 – 2.21)

Even with Presidents Day offering a slow musical roll, we covered a ton of music last week, at least in our brains. There were some standout tunes from the likes of Triathalon, Now and Scrounge…but also got to hear from one of our old favorites, Pia Fraus. We started to dip our toes back into the SXSW scene, with RayRay grabbing an interview from Gold Star. Then we made sure to rep our friends in Keeled Scales, who had a big week with new Will Johnson and Emily Hines. You’ll get to hear some off the beaten path post-punk from Private Lives and Low Monroe. Speaking of the Low Monroe tune, it’s strange that the two longest tracks on the playlist are both Aussies (the other from Tropical Fuck Storm), and they’re both labeled to have an identical running time. Who knows what that’s about. Press play below.

George Children Prep Kitchen Sink Drama

If you’re going to hit the road, one of the best ways to make a little extra cash is to have solid merch on hand. So, with a tour on the schedule for George Children, they’ve prepped the Kitchen Sink Drama EP, which will only be available on their West Coast tour…or via Dandy Boy Records! This song feels like looking out onto the world, searching for any signs of positivity (as I’m sure we’re all doing right now); it operates with this uplifting guitar strum, as Jordan Chipman narrates a car ride with a “beautiful stranger.” It’s light in nature, but some notes just dig deep into your soul, and this is one such song. You can grab the new EP by catching the band live, or grab the cassette before its February 20th release date.
