Start Monday with Alexander F

Alex Toth has enlisted the help of some heavy hitters, with his new project Alexander F featuring members of Perfect Pussy, Skaters and Here We Go Magic (all bands we like). There’s almost a krautrock drive to the opening moments of the band’s new single, with lyrics seemingly stepping on top of each other. But, through the track’s progression, you’ll hear that burst of pop that you were hoping someone would run to kick off your Monday. It’s a pretty welcoming statement, letting us all enjoy in the power that pop music has to offer. The self titled album will be out on February 10th, so with this track, listen, rinse and repeat.

Lightning Pop from Joanna Gruesome

comicYeah yeah, this song was everywhere. But hey, I’m not going to jump off the Joanna Gruesome train anytime soon. I love that there’s two sides to this tune, which seems to represent my own personal tastes.  The first offering you get is this fast paced riot-girl rock, but they pull back quite a bit to offer a glimpse at the pop sensibility they maintain with ease.  This song is 1 of the 4 off a new 7″ that’s being released as a split with popular Perfect Pussy.  It’ll be accompanied by a nice comic book too, which is the work of Phil McAndrew (his sister rocks in PP).  You’ll want to get your hands on this when it’s released by Captured Tracks, Slumberland Records and Fortuna Pop…a pretty solid triumvirate of rad labels.
