Premiere: Service Bell Video from New Berlin

McAllen’s New Berlin are quickly making a name for themselves, with a handful of singles and tapes released over the last few years. They’ve finally gotten Basic Function out into the world, and this video should give those of you unfamiliar with the group the perfect taste of what they’re all about. The video’s a performance video, with the band quickly rocking out in a sterile garage environment, but don’t let that fool you, as they’re brandishing a heavier brand of rock. Bass lines bubble darkly beneath the guitars, backed by a near anthemic vocal, hooking the listener while the band hits hard. Grab the new LP from Super Secret Records right now!

Fresh Tunes from New Berlin

December 15, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You gotta keep an eye on the local labels in this town…especially the ones that have been doing it for a good long time, such as Super Secret Records. The label’s getting ready to release a special flexi-disc 7″ from McCallen’s New Berlin, which is slated for a release on January 10th (Release gig at End of an Ear). Immediately upon pressing play you can hear the danger coming…pounding drums, distorted guitar chords and a gloriously shrouded vocal. And just like that, the song’s done. But, don’t fret, the group also have covered Warsaw (you know, Joy Division) for the B-Side. Check it below.
