Repeat Drop Brand New Single

May 16, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Swedish outfit Repeat have just dropped this glorious ripper that I have cranked up super high, but I the more I listen the more I realize that perhaps the song, despite its noise, is just a classic pop song. There’s this incredible heavy-throated vocal, coming at you like you’re being stalked, with huge riffs just tearing at the cones of your speakers, but look underneath. The Swedes have a knack for building in this underlying pop feel, without losing their edge in the songwriting. There are times here when I swear I’m listening to the punk version of the Killers (and honestly I don’t mind that). This is a brand new track, but you can circle back and hit up last year’s Rat Race while you’re at it.

Melt Your Face With Two New Songs From Fuzz

July 22, 2015 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Look, I’m not here to tell you how to live you life, but when it’s halfway through the work week and you’re dragging along, one thing that always refreshes me is some good old fashion face melting rock and roll. Fuzz, another outfit from Ty Segall and company, are here to aid in that refreshing process with the announcement of their second full length album called II, and with the gift of two new tracks from that upcoming record. This new album will be out October 23rd via In The Red Records, and while we await that record, we can taste what’s to come with “Pollinate,” and “Rat Race.” While both of these tracks bring the psychedelic rock and roll to your ears, they do so differently: “Rat Race” is more of a straight up rock track with punk influences, while “Pollinate,” is a grungey psych rock slow burner. I’m digging both, what are your thoughts?
