Slick New Track From The Gloomies

May 23, 2018 RayRay Leave a comment

It’s been a second since we’ve heard anything from San Diego based band The Gloomies, but I am pleased to report that the band is still alive and kicking. Proof of their continued existence as a duo comes from this slick new track called “Palms”. It reminds me quite a bit of the earlier work of a band like Yeasayer if the vocals were a bit more reserved and completely in tune with the music. You’ll find a certain groove to the sound that’s sure to have your body moving along in unison.

The Gloomies will release Romance on July 13th via Thrill Me Records.

Wistappear Share A Fresh New Song

November 14, 2016 RayRay Leave a comment

Coming in to today I knew not one thing about SoCal based group Wistappear, but I’m looking to remedy that today with this promising new single. The song, entitled “Overflowed” is reminding me of the frequent rhythm changes of Dirty Projects mixed in with the fun and open vibe of a say Here We Go Magic. My comparisons aside, it’s definitely a reason to start paying attention to this band and their upcoming new album.

Knack for Whatever is out on November 18th.

Great New Track From The Gloomies

October 13, 2015 RayRay Leave a comment

SoCal band The Gloomies just sent out this killer new track “LSD” over the weekend and it’s been on repeat since Saturday. I think they sound a little bit like Portland newcomers Wampire with maybe just a tad more psych rock to the style. It’s definitely filled with some familiar sounds, but I think the band are creating something truly unique and all their own.

You can pre-order the band’s new 7-inch via Thrill Me Records (Out Oct. 16th).
