Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory Announce Debut LP

Leave a comment

I’ll be upfront here; I did not enjoy the last Sharon Van Etten record. I love her voice, and its got such huge range, but that LP let me down. So, here we are on new horizons for the artist, as she’s enlisted her band in the songwriting process, creating something that feels a little bit like a darkened twist on her previous work. For me, the synth stabs that operate in the shadows while Van Etten offers a shimmering vocal performance are what make this quite a jam for you. It kind of feels like the band have allowed her to revisit the darker side of her craftsmanship, so we’re looking forward to seeing what Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory is really all about; the debut drops on February 7th via JagJaguwar.

Hilken Mancini Band Drop New Single

Leave a comment

The old pages of 90s rock n’ roll industry are littered with Hilken Mancini’s name, but she hasn’t slowed down one bit, putting her energy into building music programs and rock n’ roll workout programs…though today we’re here to talk about the Hilken Mancini Band. The band are announcing their new self-titled record for Girlsville Records, offering up this classic rock n’ roll ripper that should guarantee you’ve got your eyes on the prize come this October. When listening there’s clearly the same knack for writing huge hooks that brought Hilken’s name fame early on; she builds this tune with a driving alt-rock guitar line, then turns around and delivers a delicious power hook in the chorus. Plus, there still feels like there’s a whole lot of “take on the world” attitude, reminding us all just how much Hilken brings to the musical world. Be sure to check out Hilken Mancini Band when it drops on October 25th via Girlsville Records.

PAWS Bring Another Hit

Leave a comment

Late last month, Scottish indie rock legends PAWS shared news of an upcoming album along with the hit single “One Nation Under Dog”. Understandably our interest was peaked with the new tunes, and today brings even more excitement and buzz with another new single called “Uncertain.” It sticks with the theme of a bleak outlook on the current state of things while growing older, all while cranking through some gnarly guitar solos and straight slacker rock.

The new PAWS self-titled album will hit streets on October 27th via Ernest Jenning Record Co. Pre-orders are live now!

No Drama Announce New EP, Share Happy Dog

Leave a comment

If you’re looking outside the traditional circle of indie rock, might we suggest checking in on Touluse’s No Drama, who’ve just announced their self-titled EP via Hidden Bay Records/Seitan’s Hell Bike Punks. Immediately you’ll feel the weight of the track, as it hits with this big wash of noisy riffs before settling into that melodic groove that runs through the core of the song. Despite being from France, the band are locked into the current style of noisy pop prevalent in the states; it’s capable of making you swoon just as easily as it will encourage you to turn the speakers all the way up. Sink into the charms of No Drama today!

Species Traitor Drop Self-Titled LP

Leave a comment

Over the years, Vancouver’s been delivering some quality acts, so let’s go ahead and add Species Traitor to that list of rad bands from the area. Having just released their self-titled LP, I wanted to point folks ears in their direction, particularly for those in love with the sounds of Silver Jews. A great many of the tracks have that playful folk style, drawing on heavy vocal tones and the ambiance of the accompaniment. I tossed up the song below as it gives a bit of a glimpse of the band’s capabilities when they put their foot on the pedal, as it picks up a bit more flare and drive. Something I reckon you oughta check out now that we’re back in it!

Stream Two New Tracks from the Ovens Reissue

Leave a comment

While the world might not be entirely aware of Ovens and their history, the indie world surely knows of Tony Molina and his gifted songwriting. He released several great LPs via Slumberland and has since dropped a few more, but we’re here to talk about his earlier work in Ovens. The San Fan band are getting the reissue of their work via Tankcrimes, and there’s now two more tracks available from the collection. Honestly, you’d be best suited to jump to Bandcamp and play these songs in succession. They’re perfectly matched, “Good Idea” offering Tony’s softer side, teasing his craft of melody before jumping right into the ripper that is “Bad Day.” The Ovens collection drops on December 2nd.

Another Banger From Jaws The Shark

Leave a comment

London based artist Olly Bailey has really been delivering some solid, rocking jams recently under his recording moniker Jaws the Shark. Today his new single called “Reno” is yet another real example of a true knack for crafting some catchy, raucous, and energy packed rock tunes. Take some time to give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.

Jaws the Shark will be releasing this track as part of a self-titled EP due out on November 25th via So Recordings.

 

Ovens Announce 44 Song Reissue

Leave a comment

I’m an avowed Tony Molina fan, and knowing part of his history, Ovens is definitely a huge piece, which is perhaps why the band are releasing a huge double LP 44 song reissue of their work via TankCrimes. There’s a couple of tracks to enjoy from the release, with one certainly nodding to the pop riffs Weezer was pulling off about the same time, but it includes the noted Molina brevity. The other tune still has a nice little bounce, but a little cleaner sound, hinting at some of the work Tony would pull into his later catalog. Regardless of whether you’re a TM fan or not, the collection has a bit for everyone, if you’re into power pop, punk, metal, emo; it all fits into the Ovens LP, which will drop on December 2nd.

Hazy New Single From S.C.A.B.

Leave a comment

Just like many bands in 2019/2020, Brooklyn based group S.C.A.B. was hit pretty hard during the dark times of lock down/quarantining. In 2019, the band released their promising debut album Beauty & Balance, but unfortunately couldn’t do much to tour or continue or promote. Well the band pressed on and managed to record a whole new set of songs as part of their upcoming sophomore, self-titled LP. New single, “Why Do I Dream of You” shows a sludgy meets haze brand of indie rock which might be for fans of Deeper with a hint of New York Garage rock. Welcome back dudes.

Pre-orders for the upcoming S.C.A.B. LP, due out November 11th, are live now.
