Exciting Stuff from Factory Seconds

Leave a comment

I love how Art Is Hard Records always manage to unearth a golden gem from an up-and-comer; they were one of the early champions of Joanna Gruesome for instance. I’m really digging this Factory Seconds tune on their new Postcard Singles Series. There’s a little bit of indifference from the way the vocals are delivered, but the impact of the song is instilled in listeners via the sounds haunting the background. At times there’s these fading guitar chords staggering in the speakers, while little sonic blips also burst through. The group’s fairly new, but what an exciting bit of promise from the get-go.

Enjoy the Whooperups

Leave a comment

Just yesterday a ran a track from Wolf Girl, and there’s some similarity in The Whooperups, namely Becky who plays in both bands! Even more important to this Spook School superman is the presence of Anna Cory. All the band’s have a similar sound, with spirited guitars played with a jagged edge, though this act is all female power! The tracks below are super catchy and brief, giving you enough enough to whet your whistle and send you back for more listening. They’re releasing their Sensible Daydreams EP today via Everything Sucks Music, and I know a bunch of folks that are going to rush to pick it up…so be one of them!

Hazy Pop From Heavy Heart

13680794_1062590187111474_356682200736920488_nI’d like to take a brief second of your time and introduce you to this up and coming band from London called Heavy Heart. The group has been releasing a song every month this year and they just sent over their August song entitled “Fever Dream”. I’d liken the band to haze pop greats POBPAH but also with a little bit more bite with that heavy break down about 2 minutes in. This guy can’t wait to hear what they put out next month.

Another One From Over Sands

Leave a comment

over-sands-press-photo-2Man these dudes in London based Over Sands continue to impress me as they release more and more new music. Only about a month ago we heard new track “Memory House” and now they’ve given meyet another beauty called “Woke up Haunted”. It’s sort of like if Grizzly Bear and Efterklang got together to make bright, soaring, and downright enchanting pop music. Keep ’em coming.

Over Sands has delayed the release of their new EP Roman Rooms, which will now be released on September 2nd.

Stream New Music from Hunck

Leave a comment

hunckThere’s something undeniably catchy about this track from London’s Hunck. That being said, I can’t put my finger on the exact reason for its familiarity, or my own personal attraction. The vocal melodies have definitely grabbed me on each listen, and the music has this power that grabs you instinctively from the moment you press play. I think in all that, it accomplishes a great deal, remaining impactful, yet failing to be pigeonholed into some meaningless genre. As of now, no release news, but enjoying this song nonetheless.Plus, their press photo looks delightfully wicked.

Get Dreamy With Geowulf

Leave a comment

unnamed (7)I’ve been saying all summer that one of my goals is to make sure all of you have plenty of material for your summer playlist. So I’m getting another dreamy summer tune in before the season ends with this new single “Saltwater” by London based Geowulf. Man this song is so sunny and full of good flowing vibes. It’s perfect for this time of year.

“Saltwater” will appear on a new label compilation entitled Odd Numbers Vol. 1 coming from London based label 37 Adventures on August 5th.

Bright & Airy New Single From Over Sands

Leave a comment

over-sands-press-photo-2Nathan and I became fans of London based pop group Over Sands last year and we’ve been doing our best to share their music with the world. I’m excited today to share you their first bit of new music since last year with this promising new single entitled “Memory House”. Once again we are treated to a soaring bit of pop music, but this time around they’ve added some killer beats and a bright guitar throughout the song. If you haven’t checked these guys out yet, you should now.

Over Sands will drop a new EP entitled Roman Rooms on August 19th.

Enjoy This Beauty From Swimming Tapes

13237662_1095128163888521_9221963997744131932_nThis new song entitled “Set The Fire” by London based band Swimming Tapes premiered elsewhere yesterday and it’s too good for me not to share despite my tardiness. To begin with, this song is just so damn dreamy, it’s giving me all the warm feelings this morning. I’m not sure how I hadn’t heard of this band prior to yesterday, but with promising sounds like this, I’ll be paying closer attention from here on it. Stay tuned.
