Weakened Friends Return with NPC

Leave a comment

One of the record on the horizon that I’m absolutely begging to get my hands on is the new LP from Weakened Friends, and today they give us another glimpse at what’s in store…with a little help from Buckethead! With the front half of the tune delivering the band’s mastery of classic pop rock, they threw in a plot twist that completely caught me off-guard, slowing to a crawl as they await the setup for Buckethead’s guitar solo; it makes sense that they’re manipulating the expectations, especially on a song that deals with the concept of a pre-programmed lifestyle. Their new record Feels Like Hell will be ripping through your speakers on October 9th, courtesy of Don Giovanni.

Last Week’s Jams (7.7 – 7.11)

What a crazy week of music it was. We had new shit, cool shit, trendy shit, weird shit, dance shit…just a bunch of really awesome tunes. Austin had a lot of representation, with new jams from K. Boswell, Die Spitz and Day Friend and Thanks Light. There were several outright rad tunes that you need to crank up, like BRNDA and Weakened Friends, so be sure you click to give those the proper love. Some cool electronica style bops too, from the likes of Angel T33th, Brown Lemon and Solo Career. And, if you know what’s right for you, you’ll swing below and turn on that new Shame track…or find something weird in between.

Weakened Friends Rip Through New Single

One comment

Hopefully you have already heard the news that there is a brand new Weakened Friends LP on the way, but in case you haven’t, well, here we are. I’ve been writing about the band since around 2017, just before they dropped Common Blah; I even managed to book them at an impromptu SXSW show…so if I’m being honest, they’re one of my favorite acts of the current pop rock circle. Sonia and Annie play with abandon, offering listeners this forceful sincerity that you can’t escape; I think this song captures that energy perfectly as they smash into the chorus with such melodic ferocity that I’m already anticipating cranking this up for some air drumming at a stoplight near you. Feels Like Hell will be out this October through Don Giovanni.

That New Weakened Friends Single

Leave a comment

Yesterday, I mentioned in passing booking a rad show with Rosie Tucker amongst others; well, one of those others was my favorite pop rockers, Weakened Friends. The trio unleashed a new track yesterday, their first since the vastly underrated Quitter dropped a few years back. This song churns out relatable lyrical content, filled with hope and self-doubt simultaneously, particularly relating to a new romantic relationship. And, if you’re looking for a good pop rock chorus, you know that Sonia Sturino’s going to deliver it with a huge wallop and a hook, just as you get here. Love to have them back, and hoping there’s a new LP on the horizon. Don Giovanni helped get this tune out there!

Honestly, I’m pretty over lists at this point. They’re arbitrary and don’t really reflect anything but someone’s tastes, except here where they reflect the tastes of three individuals…because that’s how we roll. So, take this list with a grain of salt. These are the records we thought were the best, which mostly just means these are the ones we listened to on repeat throughout the year! Feel free to leave a comment on what you think we missed, or why we’re dumb; we love good comment trolls.

Also, because this list is really about crediting the art that made us happy, we wanted it to make you happy too, so we included purchasing links where we could. Read more

Leave a comment

Well friends, this is going to be a short week, and we’ll likely run some stuff today and tomorrow, then take off the rest of the week to detox before hitting the home stretch of the year. But, like every Monday, we like to start things off just revisiting what we were able to accomplish or cover last week…so you know…here we are and stuff. We’ve got some tunes from ATH faves like Papercuts and Abram Shook, as well as some of the acts I’ve been more recently in love with like KEG or Suep. So, browse, enjoy, and hopefully you start off your week on the right foot.

Weakened Friends Release Final Single off Quitter LP

Leave a comment

I’m obviously really high upon the forthcoming LP from Maine’s Weakened Things, and it’s going to be one of my favorite pop rock records to pick up this year. Today we’ve got the last single before Quitter hits the streets, and I think this might have the best set-up yet. It takes off slow with Sonia Sturino seemingly operating solo, working her distinctive vocals atop careful guitar notes; the song still seems muted when Annie and Adam join up to flesh out the sound…but, everything still seems slightly muted, only building the natural tension for the listener. Don’t worry listeners, as the trio unleash their power around the 1 minute mark with another delicious chorus that’s been making this LP a surefire singalong when it drops. Speaking of releases, Quitter is out Friday via Don Giovanni/Big Scary Monsters.

Last week had some jams, I tell ya! I’m looking at our playlist and seeing only a bit more than a dozen tunes, but I’m also seeing a few that might squeak into my year end list. I mean, I can’t stop playing “Bunny Man” for fuck’s sake! Plus, hits from new acts to get turned onto, like Cola and Whoop. Plus, that one band The Red Pinks and Purples has another release coming! Thanks to friends for also turning me onto stuff like Courtesy and the Antelopes! Sit back and enjoy!

Weakened Friends Share Tunnels Lyric Video

Leave a comment

With Weakened Friends new record Quitter on the horizon in a few weeks, I just can’t get enough of the band’s new single; I’m pretty sure I’m responsible for half the plays today alone. I hate to use the cliche language of timelessness, but everything about this track is just the perfect dose of pop rock, seeming like it might just be one of the best jams to come out this year. There’s something about Sonia’s delivery of her vocals that’s effortlessly distinctive; it seems biting yet somehow punches you with this melodic hook. I mean, I dare you turn away from this chorus and not fall absolutely in love. This is how all pop rock should be written. Definitely ready to be the old guy at the show full of youngsters screaming along at the top of their lungs to this jam! Quitter is out November 19th via Don Giovanni/Big Scary Monsters.

Here we are kicking off another great week in life, am I right? We wanted to start your Monday with a glance over our shoulders at last week’s hits. I think we covered some pretty great stuff last week, some of which you might have only been able to find through us, some of it you just need to be sure you check out. Love the new Ovlov track, and can’t stop playing this Smallgoods album; you’d also do well to visit that Japan Review tune too! Tons of different vibes, which is always our vibe. Have a good week loves.
