Kill the Pain and Power Solo Share New Ditty

Leave a comment

You’ll recognize the names of Melanie Pain (Nouvelle Vague) and Phoebe Killdeer (together working as Kill the Pain), but I acknowledge that their partners in this new morning jam, Power Solo, are brand new to me. Together, they have united to create this sort of rock-a-billy meets garage punk sound, fueled by Melanie’s penchant for pop music crossing-over into hook-laden territory. I mean, if you catch onto the refrain in the song’s latter half, it begs the questions of “if you wanna have fun?” Well, do you? If so, keep an eye out for the joint venture on 7″ for Crunchy Frog Records, coming at you real soon.

Autogramm Share New 7″

Leave a comment

As the year picks up in releases, we’d like to turn your attention towards Vancouver’s Autogramm, who share their new 7″ single with the masses today. Once you dive in, you’ll immediately appreciate the group’s frivolity coursing through things; they operate with this joy that makes their songs instantaneously fun…and in this case, a little anthemic. While there’s an obvious nod to classic punk meets synth pop vibes, they still operate in that modern indie rock territory that embraces antics, like a sharper-edged version of OKGO. On the flip side of their new 7″ is a cover of Diodes “Jenny’s In a Sleep World,” which takes the pogo-style punker and turns it into a space-aged pop tune for the masses. Love how this lot manage to make everything so sing-a-long-able! Their new 7″ is available today via Dirt Cult Records (NA) and Goodwill Records (Europe).

Leave a comment

One of our favorite Austin acts is channeling the great radio alternative, so tune in below to the latest hits from Semihelix! You can hear the riotgrrl spirit coursing through these tunes, as Geannie consistently just rips right through these licks and vocal lines with the perfect amount of indifferent cool. Both of these new jams will appear on a fresh 7″ from Bleached Records, and to celebrate this, the band will be hosting a Release Party over at Antones on Sunday evening, and they ask that you join them! That 7″ will hit the masses on Monday, but you can get a sneak preview by playing the tunes below. If you can’t make it, don’t forget to grab the 7″ while supplies are limited!

Video Age Drop Record Shop 7″

Leave a comment

As much as I enjoyed Away from the Castle, I think that Video Age might have upped the ante on their songwriting skills with their latest 7″ as they prep for a European tour. This one’s pulling on the jangling string stylings of acts like Lucksmiths, texturing backing vocals that build crest after crest of pop vibes that repeatedly soak the listener in melody. Personally, the change in attitude around the 2 minute mark only adds a sense of effortless cool that I couldn’t pull away from, taking their craft one step beyond. Hope the group have fun while their overseas and come back with more songs like these! That rhymes!

The Gaby’s Announce New 7″ EP

Leave a comment

If you run in the cool-kid indie circle, mention of the Gabys yesterday was all over everyone’s timeline, rejoicing in the news that there was a fresh EP on the way. We’ve only got this one track to go off, but it sees them dwelling in that brilliantly mellowed pop realm. There’s a lonesome quality to the guitar lines, trickling and bending ever-so gently, almost weary as they lay down before the vocals. Those vocal notes are pretty near perfect, rising just beneath the ride of the cymbals to offer a calmed resolve that’ll certainly have your pop ears ready for the release of their new 7″; it drops via Fruits and Flowers on August 23rd.

Soot Sprite Share Home Among Your Bones

Leave a comment

Having already covered the A side to the new 7″ from UK’s Soot Sprite, it feels apt that we should also share the B side, as that’s now available with the full release out. While “I Went Swimming” has this sharp bite to it, you’ll find “Home Among Your Bones” a bit more like a soothing bit of aloe on a freshly burned bit of skin; it shimmers with warm melody from Elise Cook, while the band build up this little dose of texture give depth to the bedroom pop vibe. They save the loudest bits for the punctuated end, so be sure to stick through until the close, and grab a copy from Specialist Subject!

Soot Sprite Share I Went Swimming

Leave a comment

Over in the UK, Specialist Subject Records have been dropping some fire over the last few years; they’ve been behind various releases from Witching Waves, Fresh, Martha and more…and now there’s Soot Sprite. Songwriter Elise Cook takes on the subject of shutting down amidst signs of a trouble in a relationship; the dark subject matter fits perfectly as the band wrap their torrent of distorted guitars upon the listener. Cook’s voice sails throughout, occasionally recoiling, as one might be wont to do in a relationship. A powerfully abrasive jam with a pop rock center, be sure to look for the group’s new 7″, which drops July 26th.

Fun Pop from Menahan Street Band and Roge

Leave a comment

From time to time, I like to indulge the site in my obsession with tropicalia, samba and cumbia, which is sort of the middle ground where this new single from Menahan Street Band & Roge pops into our coverage. Sometimes, when you let your inhibitions go, you’ll find that your body will just respond to what’s before you. The Menahan Street Band have created this celebratory vibe, bursting with horns and sharp percussion that naturally makes your shoulders shake and your feet shuffle. Rising star Roge definitely does his part, playing into the soulful feel that I’m hoping makes your day. This new track appears on a fresh 7″, available from Diamond West Records.

Qubinoix Share Everyday is Sunday

Leave a comment

Today seems as good a day as any to throw some noisy pop from Japan right your way, and thus I’m here with Qubinoix. The tune below is the B-side from their forthcoming Girls Are Alright 7″, which is being handled by Brooklyn label Living Waters. The founding members of the band have decades of experience crafting the shoegaze scene in Japan, and when they go at it hear, they’re melding influences of metal, shoegaze, alternative…really its an amalgam of pop music that hits just the right notes with Ichimaki’s vocals. Those vocal notes have this brightness to them that sort of shines through the dense cavernous music they’ve created, ensuring you get the sweetness balanced perfectly. You’ll be able to grab a copy of the 7″ tomorrow for Bandcamp Friday!

 

A Place to Bury Strangers Announce Chasing Colors 7″

Leave a comment

When I first turned on this new track from A Place to Bury Strangers, I thought for a brief six seconds that maybe they were going to start flirting with the realm of indiepop; they employ a jangling guitar line immediately, and it runs through the whole track. But, almost as my brain recognized one of my favorite sounds, the group bring aboard a heavy wash of fuzzy riffs to layer atop the tune. When you set that alongside the soft coo of the vocals, you get that sort of nostalgic Jesus and MC vibe going on here, and that definitely doesn’t hurt my feelings. Another banger in their 7″ series, that you can grab from Dedstrange today.
