Last Week’s Jams (5.27 – 5.31)

A strange week we had last week; I blame the Memorial Day holiday for that, as it started us all off a bit slow. For whatever reason, we didn’t get a lot of fresh tunes, so I, of course, was out there digging deep to unearth some stuff you’re probably not going to find in a ton of other spots, like the new T.G. Shand or Holding Hour singles. It was good to get another single from the next the Martial Arts LP, plus our old friend Stephen popped up with his new project Shortcuts. And, as I’ve been trying to do more, there were some great records like the new Neutrals and Oh Boland LPs I wanted to nod towards too. It’s all in the playlist below.

Friday Album Streams: Neutrals, Oh Boland, and More

This week wasn’t as dominating in terms of brand new singles and what not hitting the site; I’m not sure why there was a lull in single releases. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t an abundance of great LPs you can enjoy today too. Some even come with brand new videos like THIS ONE from the new Plus/Minus LP. We’ve gathered up our favorites of this week, all of which have featured heavily throughout the last few months, so find a record to enjoy below!

Last Week’s Jams (5.20 – 5.24)

Sorry for being absent, but gotta take a day off when the government allows. Looking back at last week, we covered a ton of stuff, and I couldn’t even post it all, as there’s a few tracks missing from DSPs like the new Dennis Callaci/Heimito Kunst collaboration. But, my new flavor of the year, My Best Unbeaten Brother returned with a new tune, as did Oh Boland, so all sorts of really sweet pop made its way in here. Stoked to see there’s another Nightshift album coming out from Trouble In Mind later this year, thus you’ll hear that early in the mix. Somehow ended up with several great tunes stretching over 5 minutes, so if you’ve got time, be sure to not skip ahead! Bunch of tunes from your favorite ADHD curator! Also, if you’re on the site, be sure to check our friend Michael Maly’s photos from the recent Idles set here in town!

Oh Boland Offer Grass Walls

You should already have Western Leisure are your anticipated albums list, if you’re making one. If not, then just crank up this new Oh Boland track today, which is the opening track from the forthcoming LP. There’s something about it that reminds me of the Clean at their most rambunctious, just kind of taking their hooks and letting them rip in whatever direction they can muster. That said, there’s also a bit of Modern Lovers in the constant driving stomp that wraps around all that exuberance; I personally love the way the vocal delivery has an emphatic punch at the end of each line. Be sure to order Western Leisure from Meritorio Records before it drops on May 31st.

Last Week’s Jams (4.29 – 5.3)

Well, I somehow managed to break the streak! This week we only have 23 songs to offer instead of the customary 28 per that last four weeks! Alas, I was sick, so were my kids, and a few of the tunes weren’t streaming. So, what did we cover? The good stuff. I was blown away and waxing nostalgic with the new Royal Headache announcement and accompanying single. It was good to see acts like Oh Boland, Neutrals and Stephen’s Shore give me my pop goodies. Plus, Austin powerhouses Urban Heat and Font were out there backing up hype with great new singles. Oh, and did you catch out great Rock n’ Recipe feature with R.E. Seraphin? Well, there’s still plenty to digest below, so enjoy yourselves!

Oh Boland Announces Western Leisure

Irish act Oh Boland might have the surprise hit record of the year, at least if we’re going off this opening track. There’s this natural enthusiasm that bleeds through the speakers, matching the thumping drum work with the emphatic vocal delivery that serves to work the listeners into a frenzy. You’ll find this natural frivolity in the tune that will likely recall any number of Flying Nun acts, so for those in search of a freeing bit of rock n’ roll, might we suggest you crank this one up really loud? Western Leisure will be released on May 31st via Mertirio Records.

Last Week’s Jams (4.1 – 4.5)

New music comes hard and heavy during the Spring months, as its the perfect time to set up summer releases and tours. We tried to get to as much as we could, and grabbed 24 new songs for you to settle into on this Monday. New stuff from Austin’s Variety assures the band is still on the rise in my eyes. I’ve been really into the tunes from Bibi Club‘s new LP, and they throw a plot twist with some English sparkle on it; it matches up well with the dark wave from Houses of Heaven. Friends of the site like Gabriel Birnbaum, Kaspar and Snowy Band all had new work to share with the masses., plus be sure you taste the new Babehoven tune hanging out for you at the end. Press play for joy!

Oh Boland Announces Western Leisure

Slow day on the scene as of late, but wouldn’t you know it, Meritorio Records had something up their sleeve just for us: Oh Boland. The Irish outfit has just announced their latest LP, Western Leisure, filling our ears with this joyous barroom rock n’ roll. For my two cents, its not too far away from what Paul Westerberg wanted, taking this sort of rock-steady guitar sound and infusing it with a bit more punch and twang. At times, you’ll find it hard to ignore the sheer exuberance from the boisterous gang vocals that seem to celebrate life. Here’s your chance to turn it up and just have some fun; Western Leisure is out on May 31st.

New Music from Half Forward Line

Well, it’s all going to be new music from Half Forward Line, as the group is a brand new project from members of So Cow and Oh Boland. This tune kicks off with cutting guitar chords, pushing toward power-pop stardom, enhanced by a bubbling bass line working under the mix. On the vocals, they seem to have more melody than what one would expect (thinking of past projects), which actually makes the track all the more endearing. It’s guitar pop of the best sort, and there’s eleven other gems waiting for you if you grab their debut, The Back of Mass, over at Jigsaw Records.
