Last Week’s Jams (7.24 – 7.28)

July 31, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We may have gone a bit overboard last week, as I see that we covered over 25 different tunes last week. But, that being said, we also ran some gosh-darned freaking hits. I loved that new jam from Split System, and have played it well over 50 times at this point. That, and that new track from Prewn pretty much made my week. I mean, there’s new stuff from Woods, Night Drive and all sorts bonus EP coverage for Death Bells and Bedroom Eyes. Plenty of stuff to dig into, so why not get on it, eh?

Jeff Rosenstock Share Another Tune from Hellmode

July 27, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’m really hoping that folks realize that even your favorite punks can jam out some solid acoustic ballads, especially if they listen to this new tune from Jeff Rosenstock. For the most part, listeners are pulled in by careful string strums and Jeff’s dynamic vocal delivery; he reminds me of Jeffrey Lewis a lot on this performance. As the track progresses, Jeff stretches his vocals a bit, perhaps letting diehard fans know he’s still trapped in the box you’ve put him inside. Don’t forget, the album Hellmode will be out on September 1st via Polyvinyl.

Jeff Rosenstock Announces HELLMODE

June 27, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You can count on the Internet going wild when there’s a new Jeff Rosenstock track that pops up, particularly when it comes to a new album announcement. I wanted to be sure that I was on top of that, as I really love this new single, and have fingers crossed that HELLMODE will be equally as good. This tune drops in perfectly, with the first hint of Jeff’s ability to deliver a hook coming in as he drops a change in the vocals at the 52 second mark; his vocals throughout this song are really the little bits and pieces that sold me here. For all its steady calm, the track doesn’t hesitate to rip up a little bit when you get to the latter half around the 2:52 mark; it sheds the softer piece to add an emphatic growl to the tune’s whole. If you’re into screaming along with your favorite song, this is setting up perfect! Polyvinyl will drop the new LP on September 1st.
