Hear Two New Tracks on New Mozes and the Firstborn EP

Leave a comment

I’ve always been a fan of Mozes and the Firstborn; I found their debut filled with these really great hooks…and just enough rock to keep me interested. Late last year they had a single with Marianne/What Am I Worth, both good rockers…but now I finally get to hear the other tracks, which I have yet to see anywhere else. These tunes illustrate the softer side of the band, almost ballads. I just keep playing them, however, so that means they have to be good, right? I’ll let you decide, but go grab the Marianne EP andenjoy a few new hits!

Brand New Stuff from Mozes and the Firstborn

Leave a comment

mozesIt’s been a couple of years since the brilliant self-titled album from Mozes and the Firstborn got non-stop rotation on my stereo, and they’ve quietly returned with the new Power Ranger EP. It’s filled with four new songs that exemplify the band’s brand of quiet/loud/quiet guitar pop. These songs still have that infectious quality, and I’ve found myself gravitating towards “Justine” as my favorite on the EP. For those Austin fans, it reminds an awful lot of local boys, Growl. Plus, at the moment, it’s free, but you should offer some dollars so they can afford to bring us more tunes.

Pleased To Meet You: The Frowning Clouds

DIG FC2014 front coverDiscovery is the great thing about running this site; you stumble into things you didn’t even know existed then you’re so excitable you’ve got to share with the folks.  This week I’ve really been rocking to The Frowning Clouds, an Australian act I hadn’t heard as of yet.  They’ve got a bit of psychedelia in their tunes, but also this grittiness associated with garage rockers; it reminds me of the best moments of Mozes and the Firstborn.  They’ve got a new LP titled Legalize Everything coming your way next week via Rice is Nice, so if it’s your bag, grab at it!

A Night Out In Austin (2/5)

Leave a comment

Mozes & The FirstbornIt was a busy Wednesday night. We had some solid locals kicking off bills that featured some far travelling acts we have loved and some we wanted to see if they were the real deal. We straddled our two most frequents haunts, The Mohawk and Red7, despite the bone drying cold. I met Nate downtown, brought one camera, one lens. Instead of a normal show review, I am going to do the share few thoughts and plenty of pics thing.

Bands featured: Hundred Visions, Mozes & The Firstborn, The Sour Notes, Yuck and together PANGEA

Mozes and the Firstborn Release New Track + Video

Leave a comment

mozesYou can’t do everything with angst and energy on a Monday, so I felt like dropping off the latest single from Mozes and the Firstborn, whom I’ve discussed on these pages before.  Every time I listen to the band I have this wonderful sense of youthfulness; the songs from the bands seem to carry a sense of wandering and undying spirit.  This week the band released the video for “Skinny Girl,” which you can find HERE. It’s one of the many great songs on the band’s self-titled debut, hitting stores on February 11th via Burger Records.  Take a listen and let yourself get carried away.

More New Music from Mozes and the Firstborn

mozesA few weeks back I brought you “I Got Skills,” a mellow jam from Mozes and the Firstborn.  Now, they’ve got another new single with an accompanying video; it has the same swagger and cool that I enjoyed from the first single.  It’s the perfect pop song, with some hammering on the keys, shaking percussion and a solid melody that harkens to sunny days.  The group’s self-titled album is out now on cassette from the folks over at Burger Records, but you can also grab it from the band HERE.  Oh, and check out the video for this tune; it’s shows what appears to be a day in the life of MFB.

Mozes and The Firstborn Have Skills

Leave a comment

artworks-000046961608-2br5ga-t500x500Just this last week the folks over at Burger Records released a cassette from Dutch band Mozes and the Firstborn.  I like how the group opens up this lead single by jumping right into the chorus, than going backwards by offering up the verses.  The vocals remind me of Austin’s The Strange Boys, those there’s a different folk spin on the group’s approach.  A relaxed pace and a catchy chorus make this song worthy of repeat listens throughout your day, which will hold true for the band’s self-titled cassette.  It’s available now, so do what’s good for you and pick it up.
