Last Week’s Jams (9.9 – 9.13)

Seemed like a strange week for some reason, but there were some definitely tunes that just broke my heart, in the best way possible. I continue to be impressed by Merce Lemon‘s new stuff, and “Crow” was just a beast. Porridge Radio, too, offered up a song that just wanted to shatter spirits, though if that’s the case, I won’t mind one bit. Alas, there was some pop in the week, like the new record from Young Scum and new single from Jim Nothing. Plus, old favorites the New Tigers are back, as is Germany’s Roller Derby. Indulge yourselves by pressing play below, but be sure to start with the powerhouse hit from The Wickies.

Plus, there were some solid releases dropping this week we wanted to remind you of. This section just needs the streams and the links, so you can make up your own mind!

Last Week’s Jams (8.19 – 8.23)

Well folks, I’m back in the game full time, teaching, coaching and all that jazz. So, I didn’t hit my previous mark of nearly 30 songs in a week. But, we still had some really great stuff on the site, so it’s organized below in its usual playlist fashion. One of the best group’s in the game, Feeling Figures, bounced out with a rad new single, plus our old pal Caroline Says also announced her first LP in some years. We gave a shout out to some great records by Fake Fruit, Chime School, Hits and more (and yes, I missed Wut and the Softies). Oh, and new jams from UV-TV and High Water Marks closed out the week, so I guess you could say, it was a pretty good time!

Kal Marks Shares A Functional Earth

When you press play on the new Kal Marks tune, you’re going to feel a little bit anxious; there’s this echoing bit of distorted guitars that just pulses in the background, sort of in and out and in and out, all the while the front of the mix offers this primal rock groove. It feels like there’s impending doom headed our way, which is actually the point, as the song takes on the subject matter of humanity’s current damnation. And although that groove feels stationary, a repeat listen will show you peaking just as the song does, rushing into this chaotic jam that seemingly celebrates all that the world, and the tune, have to offer. Dig into this, and look for Wasteland Baby, out on September 13th via Exploding In Sound.
