Jangus Kangus Drops Double Lives

Leave a comment

It’s all about guitars and sunny riffs over here with Jangus Kangus; this song opens up like a fresh blossom on your favorite tree, which I’m hoping coincides with Spring time! The guitar notes on this song danced brightly from the get-go, magically spinning listeners before the vocals join in the party. While there’s some immediacy in this track, I appreciate the way they pull you back and forth, spring you forward with brightness, then pulling you back into a more contemplative realms of dreamy pop goodness. This is just another offering from their forthcoming debut LP, which is shaping up to be a nice ray of sunshine…look for it this April!

New Single & Video From Jawdropped

Leave a comment

Los Angeles based outfit Jawdropped came onto our radar during the winter of last year with their stunning single called “Star.” Luckily, they are returning this year with more new tunes planned and a debut EP coming soon via the Californian’s new label Fire Talk. For today, we have this new single and video called “Skully” highlighting again the band’s ability to hit on some late 90’s alternative nostalgia while dropping in some of their own flavor with straight lovely dueling vocals and later intensity. I like.

Jawdropped will release their new EP entitled Just Fantasy via Fire Talk on April 25th. Pre-orders are now live.

SXSW Interviews 2025: Gold Star

Leave a comment

It is here folks. It is somehow time to start planning and prep for SXSW 2025. Things are happening a bit earlier this year in March so we are going to start churning out coverage now with less than a month to go before things kick off in Austin. It seemed like a no brainer for us to continue our quick hit interview sessions, offering a brief glimpse into the lives of these musicians and creatives. Starting things off with a bang this festival season, we have Los Angeles based artist Gold Star. You will find his full interview, along with current known show dates and streaming music, after the jump.

Cryogeyser Share Stargirl

Leave a comment

Los Angeles based trio Cryogeyser hit one of my top songs of the year in 2024 with the summer release of the stellar track “Sorry.” This year brings not only news of a full album, but also a new song called “Stargirl” which is an early front runner to hit my top songs playlist again. This one is sure to sort of lull you in with a slower and intimate start but of course things ramp up with those lovely, heavily distorted guitars. Gotta check this one out.

Cryogeyser will release a self-titled album on February 14th. Pre-save that sucker now.

Sam Blasucci Returns With Witching Hour

Leave a comment

Sam Blasucci really caught my ear around this time last year with the release of his debut solo LP Off My Stars, which was a heavily spun piece by me. Blasucci doesn’t have any plans to slow down with his new solo work as another new album of material entitled Real Life Thing is due out on November 1st via Innovative Leisure. Prior to the full album, Sam was kind enough to send along a preview of the new material with this single “Witching Hour.” It turns a little bit, and delivers a more piano driven, slight Elton John undertone of inspiration, sound. I am here for it.

Dane Schumacher Shares New Track Timebomb

Leave a comment

Dane Schumacher is a name you might know from his time spent in the Los Angeles based indie rock band Subtle Orange as the primary songwriter and singer. While his previous band had a fairly straight rock focus, Dane recently stepped out on his own and has been creating tunes still in an indie rock genre, but with a more bedroom, or even dreamy pop focus. His latest single, “Timebomb,” shows this mixture of genres as you can hear a hint of garage rock intertwined with a more dreamy beat throughout. You can definitely see the influence of producer Teenage Priest on the song as it is equal parts mellow and sort of joyful at the same time.

Cryogeyser Release Sorry

Leave a comment

It has been nearly three years since we last heard from L.A. based band Cryogeyser with their album timetetheredtogether from 2021. Today the group have returned in full force with this stunner of a reintroduction called “Sorry.” I think you’ll find it plays lightly between darker, grungy elements and delicate pieces of dreamy pop at the same time. I’m finding it to be a nice wake up call on this slow moving Monday morning. Stay tuned for more details on what is hopefully more singles.

One More Milly Jam

Leave a comment

You’ve probably read my praise for Los Angeles based Milly and the new music they’ve been pushing out this year. It should come as no surprise then that when they dropped this brand new track “Bittersweet Mary,” I had to share it with all my reader friends. While I still pick up on the post-emo vibe, I’m also getting these hints of like mid to late 90s alt-rock akin to maybe Silverchair or similar bands. Who knows, maybe I am way off base. Either way, you should check it out below and enjoy.

You should of course pre-order the new Milly album Your Own Beginning from Dangerbird Records. It drops on July 28th.

Milly At it Again

Leave a comment

If you were paying attention to our website back in 2022, you may have noticed a multitude of posts about the Los Angeles based band Milly. Likely due to our newfound love and resurgence for the post-emo days, the band has straight hit a chord with me personally and turned me into a forever fan. This year the group has another sure to be stellar album planned for summer which will feature this new single “Spilling Ink.” You can give me a million more songs just like this one and it’d be a solid day for me.

The new album from Milly entitled Your Own Becoming will be out on June 28th via Dangerbird Records. Pre-orders are live now!

New Single & Video From Love Fiend

Well we are cruising through another wild week after coming down from the Record Convention, and the new tunes just keep flying our way. If you’re down for a little kick of energy and fun, I suggest you check out this new track “Hard Feelings” from the L.A. based group Love Fiend. Certainly you can hear that quirky new wave sound in there which is set off and given a driving beat with a hint of post-punk. I am sure you will love it.

This new song appears on the upcoming album entitled Handle With Care which is due out on July 12th via In the Red Records. Pre-orders are up now.
