More New Music from The Legs

Leave a comment

legs-e1361513246175Not too long ago I brought you the first single from Legs upcoming album, Pass the Ringo, and I’m at it again with this new gem for your ears.  This track has a faster pace than “Two Colours,” and I’m personally attached to the way each verse sort of fades out just before picking up right where the group left off.  It’s surprising more people aren’t head over heels in love with this band, as songs like this are just too good to simply ignore.  You can pick up their LP next week from our homies over Log Lady Records.

Sorry I’m Late: Here’s The Fireworks

Leave a comment

LIFE099_Cover480Man, I hate myself.  In the recovery process that was post-SXSW, I forgot how much I loved this jam from The Fireworks.  The band just recently released their The Fireworks EP, and it’s this blistering bit of guitar-pop for you to digest.  On this four song effort, the guitar work is really what does it for me; it provides a gritty edge to the group’s poppier underbelly.  This tune in particular will have you tapping your toes, bobbing your head and hopefully picking up the EP from Shelflife Records.  You know what’s good for you, don’t you?

Dark Wave from So Sexual

Leave a comment

2756197706-1I’m really enjoying this new track from So Sexual, a Liverpool act who seem to have more in common with the sound of rival city, Manchester.  You can’t take away the nod to Joy Division, or perhaps even a darker version of the Killers.  I think the vocals have a higher tonal quality than they might lead on, so you can see that it’s more than just an average knock-off.  The band just released a single with Bleeding Gold Records, and you can grab that for cheap if you’re interested in the sounds. I dig it, if that counts.

Ballsy Rocker from Speedy Ortiz

Leave a comment

3ue5_IMG1780_1I feel like Friday is going to be really loud in my head, so I may as well find some music to accompany it, right?  Nothing seems more fitting than this new track from Speedy Ortiz, the Massachusetts quartet of creative noise-rockers.  Opening guitar lines and cool vocals fall in line with traditional indie rock, but during the chorus they unleash a wall of noise and discord, not unlike many peers currently making name with a loud approach.  On April 30th Inflated Records will release a 7″ single, which will feature this tune “Ka-Prow” as the A-side.

New Music from Coma Cinema

Leave a comment

1881Man, I’m digging this tune.  It’s so playful and casual, yet clearly well-written.  Coma Cinema is the project of Mat Cothran, and he’s got a bright future, if my words have anything to do with it (which I’m afraid they don’t–sorry Mat).  I like the backbone of the piano that works here while Cothran sings atop it; it’s almost bouncy, but not over the top.  And did he just say “fuck me in the graveyard?” Mat’s got a new effort titled Posthumous Release, which will come out on June 11th via Fork & Spoon Records.

Jangle to The Mantles

Leave a comment

1885I’ve been waiting for new music from The Mantles for what seems like a long time; you know, something like four years.  On their first single for their new record, it almost has the feeling as if it’s been recorded in the group’s home studio; it’s got an uplifiting guitar jangle to it, while the vocals hold on to a certain sense of earnestness.  If you need some charming pop music to get you through the day, then you don’t need to look any further than here.   On June 18th Slumberland Records will be releasing Long Enough to Leave, and it’s already in my year end lists, I promise you.

Cool New Tune from Creative Adult

Leave a comment

Promo2.1When I first listened to this new track from Creative Adult, as you might be doing now, the vocals took a second to sink in; they sounded as if they were almost slurred into the microphone.  But, the more I listened to it, the more I realized that it couldn’t be anything but that vocal to make this song so hauntingly enchanting.  Mood wise, it’s definitely a dark song, with the swirling guitar ring leaving a post-rock taste in your mouth.  It’s heavy, but it’s not fast…I appreciate a band that will mix it up.  You can grab the band’s new Bulls in the Yard EP on May 7th courtesy of Run for Cover.

Bright Post-Pop Track from Skint & Demoralised

Leave a comment

artworks-000040270891-ocqx0i-t500x500Not going to lie, the name of the band, Skint & Demoralised, is throwing me off a bit, but I can’t get the group’s latest B-Side out of my head.  The vocal delivery is spot on for what the band has done in the past, often using spoken word vocal approaches, though that’s not what you’ve got here.  I like the way the guitars seem to take an angular fade out, while the drums provide a dance-heavy beat to get your groove on.  You can find this catchy number on the group’s newest single, Breakfast at Sylvia’s, which just came out, so you’ll be glad to get your hands on such a hit.

Classic Brit Pop Sound from Tripwires

Leave a comment

tripwiresI’ve heard a few tunes from Reading’s Tripwires up to this point, but nothing seems as fittingly British as this new single that they’ve just released. It’s reminiscent of old Travis tunes, but there’s a bit more messing with the atmospheric attitude lurking in the background.  That sort of exploration shows a band growing in their confidence, but also a group destined to forge their own territory.  The group will be releasing their album, Spacehopper, via Frenchkiss Records; it’ll be in stores on June 18th. I think the group can go several ways, so I’m excited to see what direction they choose to pursue. I’m sure we’ll all enjoy it, regardless.

Surprising Psych Gem from The Numerators

Leave a comment

130405-numeratorsOkay, I’m being honest here. When I think of Lubbock, I occasionally think of Buddy Holly, but I almost never think of music.  That’s not the problem of The Numerators, and in fact, I don’t think the band could even care about what us Austinites think.  What we can say is that their hazy pysch rocker is sure to raise some eyebrows, and I’ll admit right off the bat that it’s a pretty respectable gem, which will be released as part of Suicide Squeeze Single Series. Personally, I think it’s a great thing when a band can shut the world up just with their music, so I’ll happily insert foot in mouth and let you guys enjoy the tune.
