Poison City Records Announce A Collection of Songs from Palm Springs

Whoa whoa whoa! Don’t get confused…we’re not talking about Palm Springs, California, but rather the songwriting project of Melbourne’s Erica Dunn, who also plays in Mod Con and Tropical Fuck Storm. Poison City Records just announced they’ll be releasing A Collection of Songs, which compiles out of stock 7″ and early tape releases that are probably pretty hard to find over here in the States. Just wanted to give you all a little sample of Dunn’s work, and by jumping into this introduction maybe entice you to go back and listen to her work. I chose this single as it’s got this striking bravado balanced with Erica’s powerful vocals, so it comes off as brave and angelic, ultimately just striking the listener in the face! A Collection of Songs will be out on December 10th.

Last Week’s Jams Today (10.18 – 10.22)

We were back on our game last week, for the most part. We had tons of great tunes, so we’re hoping you caught wind of at least a few of these on the site. But, if you didn’t, Monday’s a great day to just sit back in your chair and relax. I also threw in a few tunes from the likes of Spirit Was, Keg, Power Supply, Belaver and Dummy who all released most excellent albums last week. You get 20 songs to ease you into this week. Might I still suggest listening to Japan Review. That Rural France tune isn’t half bad either!

Mod Con Share X-Ray Single

In what is looking to be a huge week of releases, Melbourne’s Mod Con add to that with their forthcoming Modern Condition, dropping this Friday via Poison City Records. They drop their latest single, fueled by these guitars knifing their way in and out of the mix, gritty and distorted, though sometimes sharp and angular. I love the vocals too; they feel like they’re from another era in a sense, filled with bravado and boldness, still dripping with a bit of a hook in there. Sounds like Crucial Taunt, with a whole lot more attitude. Be sure to get a copy of the band’s LP this Friday; link it HERE.
