Youth Valley Ready Lullabies for Adults, Share Single

Leave a comment

Grecian outfit Youth Valley are all set to release their new record, Lullabies for Adults, so figured we’d toss our hat in the ring here and let you sway to the sounds of their latest single. “February” immediately takes you deep into the cavernous world of post-punk, letting the guitar work and the brooding rhythm beneath move the track, and the listener. But, just as the song feels like it should erupt, it settles into more of a soar, like a bird just catching the wind beneath its wings and riding it out to the end. Where other artists might force a climactic push, Youth Valley hold tight to their calm…letting it guide you, letting it hold you. If you’re digging on it, the new LP is out on June 23rd.

Youth Valley Share New Single

Leave a comment

Grecian popsters Youth Valley really have the charms to get us into the rest of this week; they’re bringing in this delightful new track, with promises that their will be more like-minded gems come the release of their LP this Winter. Listening, there’s definitely something faintly Morrissey in the vocals (before we all decided that guy was awful); they have this shyness to them that seems fitting for the band’s lyrical parable on how we’ve all grown to shy to go out and enjoy the night. And, if the voice wasn’t enough to seduce you, listen to the sharpness of those guitar chords, dancing and distorting in the distance, twirling their little fingers through your hair, playfully; it’s all sheer charm, and I can’t wait to hear more from the outfit.

Villa Boas Share Tora Single featuring Stella

Leave a comment

The wonders of the digital age are that there’s so much musical material just waiting to be revisited, like this Villa Boas tune; it features Greek artists Stella, but while its being unearthed today, it was actually recorded in 2018 before her star began to rise. It’s got this sort of sloppy house party punk rock vibe; the sort that is energetic and kitschy all at once; its got enough edge to get everyone slam dancing but enough pop that your neighbors won’t be telling you to turn it down. Plus, it’s being released with this great street skate video with members of the Lovers Skate Collective, putting the Athenian culture on full display. It’s all been part of a huge collaborative effort by the Villa Boas crew, with more joint hits available HERE.

Jittery Pop from Film Jacket 35

Leave a comment

I feel like I’m always in search of the next great pop song to whet my appetite, to hold me over until the next pop hit. Today, I’ve stumbled upon Grecian act Film Jacket 35, offering up this shimmering guitar pop number built for club floors and late night dance parties. Those guitars are jagged and cut just the right groove into the track, while the vocals come off in a “too cool for school” fashion; they throw in some insatiable backing vocals too just add an extra dose of catchiness. Kick those heels up friend and have a little fun.

Fuzzy Rocker From The Noise Figures

One comment

untitledSometimes we could all use a little bit of rock n roll in our lives to awaken the demon within.  Thanks to Greek duo The Noise Figures, my inner rocker is being awakened with this sweet track “Holy One”.  If I was pressed to describe the song, I’d call it a fuzzy rock n roll track devoid of gimmicks and tricks.  Nope, this is just a straight up rock song and I’m in need of such a thing today.  Enjoy.

Pick up Aphelion later this month on the 28th via Inner Ear Records.

Wonderful New Tune from The Cave Children

Leave a comment

cavechildrenThis tune from Greek outfit The Cave Children drifted across the ocean and into my consciousness, sticking there most of the last few days.  It’s a casual bit of pop music, relaxed in its approach, softly bouncing through your speakers.  I appreciate how they’re really able to hold steady throughout the song, not rushing but not going slowly, just wrapping their arms around pop sensibility and really going for it.  They’re releasing their debut album, Quasiland, this week via Inner Ear Records, and I have a feeling you’re going to love it.

Rock Out With The Noise Figures

Leave a comment

artworks-000060092096-x3y55p-t500x500When a band resides in a country across a major ocean, in this case Greece, it is obviously difficult for we Americans to catch on immediately.  Such is the case with Greek rockers The Noise Figures.  These guys just released their new self-titled album last month via their countryman’s label Inner Ear.  Though the band is from the other side of the world, their sound is eerily reminiscent to the current California punk/noise rock scene that the ATH crew has consistently supported.

You can buy The Noise Figures new album digitally on bandcamp or try and get a physical copy shipped your way from Inner Ear Records.

Rock Out With The Callas

Leave a comment

the-callasHere’s a great little rock n roll number from Greek rock band The Callas called “Anger”.  The song title is appropriate, as the song seems to have a bit of power and anger driving the force through the song.  Who knew the Greeks could rock?!

New album Am I Vertical? is due out November 19th on Inner Ear Records.
