Greg Mendez Shares Alone Video

Leave a comment

This is Greg Mendez‘s world, and we’re all just living in it, and gratefully so. Just recently he announced his singing to Dead Oceans, with plans of an EP and a Reissue of his S/T LP. Now, there’s a brand new single that completely breaks your heart, and there’s no way from avoiding it; you’re going to find yourself willingly driving head-on into this downpour of melodic emotion. Something about Greg’s voice just breaks you; you can hear it strain, while the strum of the strings reverberates in your speakers. That added vocal texture on the tune only deepens the appeal, making this new 7″ an absolute must have; it drops this Friday!

Hamburger Offer Quick Pop Ditty

Leave a comment

Bristol pop rockers Hamburger have a new EP rearing to go before the year comes to a close, and why not give it a little love by sharing this grungy pop number. It opens with stretching vocals and a bounding bit of keyboard work, and then the hooks drop into the show. The guitars match up with the bounce of the piano, and you’re hit with a crunchy bit of grunge-pop, blasting you with this melodic powerhouse before receding back to where they came from. Beat Back the Ghouls is going to offer up a lot of joy when it hits on November 29th, courtesy of the fine people over at Specialist Subject Records.

Icarus Phoenix Shares Homeostasis

Leave a comment

We’re barely removed from Icarus Phoenix latest release, I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said, and it seems like there were just too many ideas for Drew Danbury and company to cram into that LP, as “Homeostasis” is a playful little number that didn’t quite make the cut, or perhaps is meant for a story down the line. It’s a short number, but there’s almost a natural hop to the construction, letting Drew swing his vocals up and down through the tune, sort of like he’s spinning you and serenading you right in the middle of your living room. There’s a nice little acoustic version accompanying this new single, as we get a peek inside where the story began.

Swansea Sound Share Toxic Energy Single

Leave a comment

The Swansea Sound/Heavenly team have apparently arrived on US shores, and with that, they bring a fresh new single primed for morning listening rotation. In this song, the band has pitted Terry Hall (played by Hue) against Elon Musk (played by Amelia); Terry pushes the punk ethos that cranks up the sonic energy, while Elon plays the foil, almost taunting him with this incredible pop structure. They trade musical barbs back and forth, with the song infused by the group’s balance between their love of pop and punk…not to mention their political values, or rather just human values. Plus, the video’s perfect, and no cyber truck was purchased in the making of the video. Even though I begged them to come to Austin, you can only catch them on the West Coast this week; tonight in Olympia!

Waves of Dread Release The Tide

Leave a comment

For the better part of the last few years, Waves of Dread consistently tossed great new noise rock our way, but it’s been a minute, or a year rather, since they dropped new stuff. All that’s out the window with their new EP and lead single “The Tide” now out in the world. Several of the new tunes, like the one below, are fairly short, all things considered, so it’s a little bit of a focused move towards the group’s pop focus, though they still adhere to the noisier elements that got them here. This release indicates that the group are toying with some new vibes, so we’ll keep you posted, as we hope there’s more on the way!

JW Francis Shares Feel It + Drops Sunshine

Leave a comment

You’re possibly browsing the net, looking for something to download and enjoy today, so might I suggest this new JW Francis tune. While some of the tracks on his brand new record, Sunshine, embrace a more pensive fashion, this single’s an absolute joy; it reminds me of a poppier version of the Strokes (or just their last LP as a whole). There’s a stomping nature to the rhythm section, driving the song forward and encouraging the listener to release their inhibitions, riding out with the rhythm and the wind at their back. If you’re enjoying what you hear, crank up the volume, then check out the rest of Sunshine, available today from Born Losers.

Capitol Release Twenty-Eight in Drag

Leave a comment

You’re going to have a hard time not getting swept up in the energetic opening of the new Capitol track; the rhythm section kick things off with some snappy grooves before the tune pulls back to deliver the verses. They bring up a bit of synth wash to set the mood, let the vocals sway within the confines of the ambiance. While they offer a lot of punch in this tune, there’s a middling section where it’s almost all about the emotional feel of the track, filling a breakdown with these shimmering keyboard notes that stay in the picture to add texture to what’s on the surface. The group drop Sounds Like a Place on November 8th via Meritorio Records.

Trauma Ray Share Bardo Single

Leave a comment

This new Trauma Ray record is going to get a lot of play at my house, and this new single sees them reaching back into my own early listening habits as a teenage, bringing back to the present. The track wastes no time in hammering you with noise, hurtling riffs right at you as they lock into a pseudo-metal thrash. Still, there’s something in their craft that reveals little melodic moments, sort of like the light shining under a door in a darkened hallway; it reminds me a lot of when Deftones switched to more melodic notes during White Pony, but were still able to bring the noise. They release Chameleon on October 25th via Dais.

Eliot Eidelman Shares Silhouette Video

Leave a comment

This new Eliot Eidelman song is fantastic; it’s just a generally good song, and saying that, probably doesn’t do the track justice. Maybe I could tell you that Evan from Wand, etc plays and records the tunes, but even then, that’s all hype. So, when I was listening through, and watching the video, I reveled in the performance. The song works with this steady trot, taking a light strum then building it into something that operates with a bit more force and the subtlest backing vocal. All good things, but please dive into the video, embrace the fun. Eliot offers up a silliness that, unfortunately, seems rarer these days; he’s joyous whilst still penning a solid tune, and that’s made my day. Sure, the world’s a hellhole and hurtling downward, and while I spend far more time on that negativity, Eidelman reminded me of the goofball that I hope is all inside of us. And, he did it while offering up a jam you’ll keep coming back to, again and again. This tune is the title track from Silhouette, which drops on January 1st!

Unlettered Share She Is Inside You

Leave a comment

Are we at Friday yet? No, well, if you’re getting a little angsty trying to get over the edge and into the weekend, might I suggest digging into this track from Unlettered. While there’s this forceful growl working in the foreground, you get to hear disorienting riffs bend and break in the far off distance, twisting the song around the mantra-like vocal delivery. Just as your ears adjust, the tune speeds up before the 3 minute mark, switching directions, with a more prominent bit of attitude driving the track to its dark, distorted close. This song appears on the group’s new album, Five Mile Point, out on November 22nd.
