Ton Share Movement Single

When I heard the opening guitar lines of this single from Berlin’s Ton, you better believe I had some nostalgic connections to their sound; it should feel obvious that they’re pulling from the past of post-punk classic. That said, the band offered a different presentation in the vocals, which while still stylistically in the same vein, maybe had more of a punk ethos than anything, embracing a bit of cocky indifference to the audience. Then, like the old school bands of yore, they twist the song, break it down, pop in briefly, then recede to lock into the groove, only to pop back in with a sense of ownership that should have you intrigued. Be on the lookout for the group’s Room EP, out this February.

Feeling Figures Share Movement Video

On their last trip around the singles market, Feeling Figures offered us this brooding bit of indie rock that felt like it had drifted from the Pacific NW all the way over to Montreal. This go round, well, they’re adding in a bit more “movement,” should I say, bringing this frantic energy that kicks off a bit of riotous bounce. Personally, I love the way the guitar lines seem to be work in opposition, one sort of meandering about in the mix while the other pairs with the rhythm section to drive the song forward; they somehow meet and fuse from time to time, creating this synergy that livens the vibe. Plus, the vocals have this almost maniacal how, pushing this snotty playfulness that I absolutely love. Spend some time here, and grab Migration Magic from K/Perennial Death on November 24th.

Detox Retox

Detox Retox are an indie band hailing from our nations capital that we’ve taken a liking to over the last few days.  The group mixes the right elements of Phoenix style beats along with some occasional aggression in the vocals eerily similar to our friends Cursive.  The group recently released new EP, Movement, which can be purchased online via Amazon or iTunes.  You’ll hear sounds on that EP similar to “Caroline” found below and should get your head nodding along to the catchy tunes.  You may not hear the Cursive comparison after a listen to the radio ready single below, but trust me, you’ll hear it after a few spins of their new EP.  You might also hear a hint of Ted Leo in there somewhere.  We dig it all.
