Blast New Music from Girls Tears

girlsStarted off softly today, but I’m ready to pick up the energy as I head towards the weekend, and what better way than this new jam from Girls Tears. It’s a full-fledged guitar attack on your ears, with drums bashing in the background. I love the way the vocals were recorded, almost as if the band is containing a sense of madness that’s spinning out of control. But, if you know me, you know I like the underlying sense of pop sensibility, and that’s definitely at play here too! Look for the band’s Woke Against the Tide to hit stores on October 28th via Sinderlyn.

Sinderlyn Reissue Walter TV and Girls Tears

bandThe label group that began with Captured Tracks has blossomed into this incredible super group of small labels, some of which are focusing on reissuing lost classics.  Today one of those labels, Sinderlyn, announced two great reissues, Walter TV and Girls Tears.  The first single below is from Walter TV; it’s a bouncy post-punk piece with the warbling vocals lurking beneath the main mix; the band is also known for their touring work with Mac Demarco.  I’m also hoping the song’s title, “Master Ludi” is a Herman Hesse reference. Girls Tears is an LA act with more of a frenetic pacing to their punk rock sound.  The albums are titled Appetite (WTV) and Tension (GT), and thanks to Sinderlyn, they’re seeing physical releases for the first time ever on September 23rd!
