Products Band Share Steady/Sugarless

Leave a comment

We spent a lot of time spreading the world on Some Sudden Weather, the last LP from Products Band, so we were excited to hear there was a fresh tune from the Minneapolis outfit. Trickling in with a quieted vocal, the song erupts with a crash of distortion that rip right through your speakers. As the tune pushes forward, the song pushes this bit of urgency, driving the vocals into higher pitches as the song builds and builds, only to halt suddenly. Then its over. You’ll have to go back and press play again and again to fully digest the littlest nuances that make this a solid Friday jam session.

Another Jam From Heart To Gold

Leave a comment

If you are not yet listening to the new music from Minneapolis based Heart to Gold, what are you even doing with your life? The lads have really nailed this whole power pop-rock revival with loads of energy soaked tunes, all at a blistering pace. This new track “Blow Up the Spot” continues the band’s efforts to go at full, breakneck speed with no sense of slowing down. Check it out below and also listen to the previously shared “TNT” if you’re still in the dark.

This track is part of the new Heart to Gold album entitled Free Help due out November 15th via Memory Music. Pre-orders are live now.

Heart To Gold Return With TNT

Leave a comment

Minneapolis based outfit Heart to Gold really came onto my radar around this time last year with their stunner of a single “Chloe.” Since then, I’ve spent some time delving into the bands back catalogue and you can now consider me a full on follower and supporter. Adding to their ever growing library of hits comes this new song “TNT” which continues the heavy Minnesota based post-punk meets alt themes which really got me into the group in the first place. Gonna be hitting repeat on this one all morning long.

Straight Rocker From Heart To Gold

Leave a comment

Minneapolis has long been home to an incredible DIY and gritty musical scene dating back to the late 70s and into the early 80s. For me, Twin Cities based outfit Heart to Gold carry that banner with them with their punk inspiration, but with a more upbeat, poppy, and modern sound. As an example, new single “Chloe” features just a ton of unbridled energy and fun with absolutely expert instrumentation throughout. Also gotta love anytime a three piece can sound this LOUD and full. Carry on.

Green/Blue Share In Lies + Prep Paper Thin

Leave a comment

Shout out to my friend Joe for pushing me to jam to this new album from Green/Blue; it’s an album that’s right in my wheelhouse for the current post-punk revisiting. The driving nature of this song puts some pace into it, though it’s not quite as frantic, allowing for the vocals to kind of set up the mood. In contrast to the swirling sound around, the vocal harmonizing creates this sweet pop center; it’s like a post-punk tootsie pop, and it only takes a few licks to immerse yourself in the band’s sound. If you’re into this ripper of a tune, get ready for Paper Thin, which is dropping on Jun 10th via Feel It Records.

Night Moves Share Twangy New Track

Leave a comment

Minneapolis based Night Moves really caught and held my attention in 2019 with the release of their stunning LP Can You Really Find Me. For a year or so after the release, like most bands in the Covid era, things were slow and not much was heard from the group. But to no one’s surprise, the dudes were holed up in a friend’s cabin to record a whole slew of new material in the coming year. Having already shared two recordings from the sessions, today I am pleased to share with you this new single called “Feel Another Day”. I feel like this band continues to fill this void in need for country inspired, twangy pop music that I just don’t seem to get much more here in TX. Thanks to my Minnesota brothers.

Driving New Number From Graveyard Club

Leave a comment

For those not in the know, Minneapolis based outfit Graveyard Club released the impressive, and critically acclaimed LP Goodnight Paradise during the summer of last year. After the success of their last album, the band eagerly began work on new material and are ready to share some of the work with this new single “Valens”. The song is an epic number featuring the band’s familiar dark pop/new wave style, but with a new driving element showing small hints of The Boss or similar artists. Seems like two very different things to mash up, but it works quite well on this new stunner.

More From Night Moves

Leave a comment

As Night Moves prepare to release their new album Can You Really Find Me later this month, the band is dropping more new music in anticipation. Today the boys sent over this new track “Recollections” which is more of a mellow, slow grooving song when compared to previously released banger “Strands Align”. The track is helping to set up what will surely be on the best, and most well balanced albums of the year.

Can You Really Find Me hits streets on June 28th via Domino.

Absolute Banger From Night Moves

Leave a comment

As I look out on yet another dreary and rainy spring day in Austin, I am finding myself in need of a little musical inspiration. Much to my pleasure, this new song called “Strands Align” from Minneapolis based pop hit makers Night Moves just pinged my inbox. It reminds me of a time before The Killers sucked if their sound had some elements of Tame Impala mixed with driving rock songs. Basically, it’s a hit and you should check it out right now.

Night Moves will release new album Can You Really Find Me on June 28th via Domino.

Have Some Fun With Strange Names

Leave a comment

Drudging my way through an insane week leaves me in need of some upbeat music I can dance and sing along to. If you are in the need of the same, look no further than this delightful new track “Into Me” from NYC via Minneapolis based band Strange Names. Seriously, this thing is a fun piece of dance inducing beats with elements of electronica, disco and of course pop. I dare you need to stand up and move to the beat. Double dare.

Strange Names will release a new album of tunes sometime in 2018.
