Slow Burner From Total Makeover

10349211_958184057527771_3071572823602145174_nNoah Stitelman made music under the moniker Neighbors for quite a while, but has since retired the group for greener pastures in Brooklyn.  From the ashes of his old group comes his new project known as Total Makeover.  Below you can find the debut single called “New England Highway” which is a slow burner type of pop music featuring a chill vibe.  Eventually the chillness builds into a nice and noisy ending sure to get your pulse going.

Total Makeover will drop their debut EP on August 21st.

Tour Cassette from Neighbors

neighborsSeattle band Neighbors have definitely won me over with their earliest single, but I think that this new tour cassette, Power Country, has completely sold me on the act. There’s not a lot of frills on these tunes, just straight up rock n’ roll with catchy hooks to sell you on the goods. I think the lead-off track is the perfect introduction to this group, for those that haven’t gotten to hear them yet. It encompasses the combination of grit and pop sensibility that I enjoy about the band.  And, for those of us in Austin, they’ll be hitting up our fair city on October 16th at Cheer-Up Charlies.  If you’re not in our fair city, check their schedule, as they’re hitting the road hard.

New Hit from Neighbors

Just when I swore to the world that I was going to swear off dance-y music, I come across this new number from Neighbors, which is the preview to their upcoming August EP, which the band will release for free on May 24th.  Sure, those beats just hang there momentarily, but the vocal resemblance to Matt of The National is what really sucked me in, as I’m a sucker for baritone/bass voices when recorded.  I suppose there are other things to hate in the world, such as all the kids filming their favorite song during a concert (I’d like to see the band, not your camera), so I’ll hop back on the electronic touch here for a bit, as long as it sounds this good.
