Casual Technicians Announce Deeply Unworthy

Leave a comment

If you’re coming to our site, you generally jam a certain style of music, and with that, we want to make sure you’ve got Casual Technicians on your radar. They only released their debut LP a few months ago, and they’re already pushing forward with a fresh batch of tunes for us. When diving into this sea, you’ll be greeted by a nice little bob atop the waters, offering up a nice vibe, though nothing strikingly new. But, at the 25 second mark there’s a plot twist, offering up a different vocal that seems more earnest, and slightly Aussie influenced. They switch it up back and forth, always employing a snapping beat that kicks your feet up, and still pandering to those of us who think of Flying Nun as the Holy Grail. Deeply Unworthy is out November 1st via Repeating Cloud.

Teenage Tom Petties Share Kissed Me in Seattle

Leave a comment

The folks at Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home have been hinting at new music from Teenage Tom Petties all week, and boy do we deserve this treat. On this new single, there’s almost a classic ditty feel, something that would have been catchy as hell back in the 50s, but gets a modern dust up by fueling it with walls of distortion that take the hook into the present. They’ve been flirting with catchy hooks since their inception, but this might be the peak, as you’re not going to find something as infectious as this new tune. Bonus points for an Alamo nod! You’ll hear this on the group’s new self-titled LP, which drop via the aforementioned labels on August 2nd.

Mythical Motors Share Take a Trip

Leave a comment

I missed the boat on the first single from the forthcoming Mythical Motors LP, but I couldn’t resist alerting you to the promise of Upside Down World. The tune below is the opening number, and its opening guitar lines were enough to pull me right into the tune; they have this power-pop brightness that seems to swear we’ll have a better tomorrow, in emotion alone. Matt Addison’s voice has this gentleness in its presentation that you can’t escape either, taking the early wistfulness and pushing it to the next level. If you’re looking to find a sunny future, might we suggest you grabbing Upside Down World; the LP drops on April 12th via Repeating Cloud.

Oort Clod Announce Cult Value

Leave a comment

Both Repeating Cloud and Safe Suburban Home Records has been turning us onto some special hits the last couple of years, and now they’re adding Oort Clod to the mix. When I pressed play, there was something that felt nostalgic in the vocals, like a nod to the 50s rock n’ roll my mother played around the house as a kid. With that nostalgia, how does the band make it feel modern? They coat the tune in swirls of jangling guitar lines that twist and turn behind those doo-wop style vocals; the song gives off this sort of lo-fi gritty pop that should put the Manchester outfit on your radar. They drop Cult Value on April 5th!

Teenage Tom Petties Share Stoner; Announce Hotbox Daydream

Leave a comment

There’ve been lots of little breadcrumbs in the past few weeks leading to today’s announcement that there’s a fresh Teenage Tom Petties LP headed our way in November. Originally an outlet for Tom Brown of Rural France, the first record set the scene for fast-paced slacker rock, the sort that ripped through the speakers of your freshman dorm room. Now a full band, they’ve returned with that same ferocity, perhaps with a touch more sheen on the vocals and recording. Don’t get me wrong, the heavy-handed riffs are there, but this opening single from their new LP offers a lot more melody to listeners on its initial runs; the chorus has this calmed cool to it while you can hear the rhythm single waiting to break free from its leash and bound through the room. Hotbox Daydreams will be out on November 3rd via Safe Suburban Home/Repeating Cloud.

Teenage Tom Petties Share New AA Single

Leave a comment

Teenage Tom Petties won us over with the self-titled LP they dropped, but they don’t miss a beat with their brand new punchy AA single. Both tunes on the single are anthemic jangling pop-punk, perhaps with more allegiance to punk. Honestly, “Posters” is precisely the style of pop punk that has me screaming at the top of my lungs as I mow the lawn and frighten the neighbors; the riffs are fast and furious, with a steady rhythm and lyrics you can easily sing too. Plus, the brevity of the singles make it easy to press play and run through them both again and again, just to memorize the hook-laden fun! Coming to us courtesy of Safe Suburban Home/Repeating Cloud.
