Ben Auld Announces Loserdom

Leave a comment

Let’s get this out of the way; this new Ben Auld song absolutely rips. It’s heavy in the right spots, poppy when necessary, and if you’re turning it all the way up, you’re likely going to piss off your nextdoor neighbor this morning. In terms of like-minded artists, you’re going to line Ben right up along the side of Teenage Fanclub or Tony Molina. The songwriting definitely takes the pop sensibility of Tony, not to mention the single name moniker strategy. But, the heaviness feels like its steeped in the history of the Teenies. Loud melodic rock n’ roll hasn’t sounded this good! Look for Loserdom via Safe Suburban Home/Repeating Cloud on April 1st.

Mythical Motors Drop Dismantled Man Tells You

Leave a comment

If the world were short of catchy hooks, I’d turn to Matt Addison and Mythical Motors to solve the world’s problems. On the latest single from his forthcoming LP we find him flirting with a bit of power-pop, subtly whipping in some sort of doo-wop harmonies into the vocal mix; it sets the song up with just the right amount of contrast, and the sated moment in the middle of the song just has you licking your lips with anticipation of that sugar high the group create. But, before you get your fix, the song fades to a close, so you’ll have to circle back and hit that repeat button. Tremolo on the Punch Line is out on April 10th via Repeating Cloud and Best Brother.

Mythical Motors Announce Tremolo on the Punchline

One comment

Don’t think we’d ever pass up an opportunity to rep Mythical Motors, particularly as the project has continuously brought us hit after hit. And, they’ve now announce a new record, which will be their first ever on vinyl (despite a deep catalog)!. Enthusiasm greets you when you press play upon this new single, with the vocals pushing into classic power-pop territory…yearning and melodic as they match the crunchiness of Matt Addison’s vocals. The brevity warrants repeat listens, with an intermingling of hooks and rock to make everyone come back for more. Tremolo on the Punchline drops on April 10th via Repeating Cloud/Best Brother.

Daily Worker Share The New Insicerity

Leave a comment

Seems to be a great day for really solid rock vibes, which doesn’t mean they all have to hit you over the head. Just listen to this new tune from Austin band Daily Worker, who manages to bring a whole lot of swagger to an acoustic strum. After years in Cotton Mather, Harold Whit Williams knows how to provide listeners with the perfect hook, but it might be the accompanying vocals behind his voice on this one that cement the joy, almost bringing in a late 60s classic rock swell…which isn’t too far off from the meandering psychedelic guitar notes. Always great to hear new music from the project, and even better news that they’ll release Prefab Maverick via our friends at Repeating Cloud on February 20th.

Sweet Nobody Drop Forget Me

Leave a comment

Through their first few handfuls of singles, the folks in Sweet Nobody have been turning out really charming pop rock, but today they make their boldest statement with “Forget Me.” I was first caught by the confidence and power of the vocals, hitting some notes that fall between Sharon Van Etten and Jenny Lewis. But, cementing the power of the vocal hook is the way they build up the tune, using stuttering riffs to kind of add tension to the track, then rolling out the red carpet for the melody to walk right up and blow you away. If pop rock is your bag, there’s not better you’ll here today. They release Driving Off to Nowhere on November 7th via Repeating Cloud.

Sweet Nobody Release Another Pop Ditty

Leave a comment

The new record from Long Beach’s Sweet Nobody is shaping up to be quite a listen, hanging on the edge of pulling from nostalgia and updating it for pop fans everywhere. On their latest single they let the rhythm section take complete control, with the pace of the vocals and each little saccharine note matching the snap of the beat beneath their feet. Speaking of those vocals, they offer up the best version of pop on this side of the dial, making you swoon with this near dreaminess that launches into pure beauty at the 3:40 mark as the song comes to a close. If you’re enjoying their new stuff, be ready for Driving Off To Nowhere, out on November 7th via Repeating Cloud.

Teenage Tom Petties Share Tough Cookies

Leave a comment

If you haven’t made room for Rally the Tropes on your purchase list, then you might want to reevaluate your budget this month, as their new single solidifies the forthcoming Teenage Tom Petties record as a must have. Like most TTP tunes, there’s a natural grittiness to the recording process, giving the tune a huge edginess and DIY mentality. But, while I adore that aspect and its lo-fi aesthetics, their penchant for hooks and guitarmonies, making everything they do infectious and with just enough punch to keep the cool kids off my back. Love looking forward to this new LP, which drops via Repeating Cloud // Safe Suburban Home on October 24th.

Teenage Tom Petties Announce Rally the Tropes

Leave a comment

I cannot wait for the rest of ya’ll in America to really get behind Teenage Tom Petties, especially as they’ve got a new record, Rally the Tropes on the horizon. This first single is just a straight ripper, indicating that Tom Brown and company aren’t done with kicking ass in 2025. The entirety of the new record is a celebratory experience, with Brown reveling in the joyousness of the group’s creation, as well as the power they’re now cranking out. The stuttering start that sets up the hook at the 16 second mark rules, recorded perfectly so that when the tune drops in you’re bouncing off the walls with the world’s largest grin stretching from ear to ear. Rock n’ roll is supposed to be fun, and no one is having as good a time as this lot. The new LP is out via Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home in October.

Jeff Tobias Shares Gimme Coherence

Leave a comment

When I listen to Jeff Tobias latest single, I’m instantly reminded of acts like Gary Numan or Devo, at least in the construction of the musical element; it has that leaning towards pop construction via manipulated sounds, and the playfulness is spot on. That said, the way that Tobias delivers his vocals seems to work in contrast to the beat itself, illustrating how far he’s pushing his creation, but also how one can manipulate every facet of the tune. You get more of that wave of inspiration as the track breaks down into a saxophone induced freakout, with a nod to some of Jeff’s other roles in the musical world. Really excited to hear how he toys with listeners in a creative and confident fashion when One Hundredfold Now In This Age drops via Repeating Cloud on October 17th.
