Start Monday with Alexander F

Leave a comment

Alex Toth has enlisted the help of some heavy hitters, with his new project Alexander F featuring members of Perfect Pussy, Skaters and Here We Go Magic (all bands we like). There’s almost a krautrock drive to the opening moments of the band’s new single, with lyrics seemingly stepping on top of each other. But, through the track’s progression, you’ll hear that burst of pop that you were hoping someone would run to kick off your Monday. It’s a pretty welcoming statement, letting us all enjoy in the power that pop music has to offer. The self titled album will be out on February 10th, so with this track, listen, rinse and repeat.

Sweet New Single From SKATERS

Leave a comment

DSC00746I’m sure some of you out there have already heard this badass new SKATERS tune, but I’m going for it anyway because it’s just too good to not have on our site. The song itself, entitled “Head On To Nowhere”, is a straight up rocker similar in style to a band like Waves with a little more edge to the sound. To be perfectly honest, if you aren’t feeling this one with me, something must be wrong with your musical taste.

SKATERS officially split from the major label and will be taking the DIY route for their next release. Stay tuned for more information as we receive it.

The temperature in town is heating up, and that means summer time rock shows are on their way.  We’ve got a great show for you to hit up tonight, featuring the much-talked about NYC band, Skaters.  They blow into town with a fresh bit of pop rock, supporting the release of their brand new album, Manhattan.  But, as if an adored band wasn’t enough, the bill will feature local heavy-hitters, Shivery Shakes and Grape St.  Both acts are growing forces in the local scene, and both are in the final stages of finishing new albums…we’ll share more on that later.
