Man Toronto based outfit Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs have just killed it with this new single “Ragnarok”. When discussing the new generation of power pop music, songs like this need to be mentioned before any other. If for some reason that style of music isn’t for you, well move on and let the rest of chant along and enjoy ourselves. Epic. Fun. Carry on.
Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs will release a self-titled LP on July 28th via Burger Records.
It seems like Sam Coffey and Iron Lungs are walking a perfect line between my past and present. Their earlier single, “Calgary Hill” sounded like perfect power-pop, blending melody into huge guitar chords. Now, on the next single, they take on an old school mod feel, like The Jam kicking it with the Clash; it’s a fine mixture. This is one of the great things about the band’s latest release, Gates of Hell, there are great nods to various genres, but it never seems to tire on the ears of the listener. The album is out this week on Southpaw Records.
After a long weekend rocking out at Austin Psych Fest, I’m a little bit drained, energy-wise, so I figured I’d share something that’s been able to help me push through this slow-moving morning. It’s the first single from Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs, and it’s got this great blend of classic power-pop and garage rock. The vocals, often infused by unison singing from the group, come off a bit ramshackle, adding a bit of innocence to the delivery. You’ll find the guitar sound a perfect way to kick off your morning. Look for the group’s Gates of Hell LP on June 24th when it’s released by Southpaw Records.
