New Jam from Legendary Wings

In what has already been a great year for Dirtnap Records, they continue with the latest release from Legendary Wings.  The group has a little bit less power-pop then recent releases from the likes of White Wires or Mean Jeans, but what it lacks in the pop vein is made up with a sincere rock n’ roll enthusiasm that’s bound to be the soundtrack to my Friday.  There’s an obvious spirit to the band, and it shines through in the tune we’ve got below.  If you dig it as much as I do, pick up their album, Making Paper Roses, which comes out on October 9th. Nooge.

New (ish) Rocker from Mean Jeans

As we finally get our feet back under us after the work leading up to SXSW, I really wanted to toss out this track that’s been living in my inbox.  The song comes from the new Mean Jeans album, On Mars, which will be released by the excellent folks over at Dirtnap Records on April 17th.  If you’re in need of an energetic boost to get your Monday off, then be glad I saved this number until today; it builds with infectious hooks, then bursts off into a snotty vocal delivery.  You’ll definitely find the cure for a case of the Mondays by turning this one up!
