Last Week’s Jams (10.14 – 10.18)

Leave a comment

There was so much new music dropping last week that it was hard to keep track of it all, but I think with 22 new songs out there, we managed to do our part. Greg Mendez was a big winner, with a brand new EP we loved; I also definitely didn’t turn away from the fresh Innocence Mission, which maybe one of my favorite they’ve ever concocted. We had a premiere of a new Sunnsetter tune, and also hit up the latest from The Great Divides, so we’re kind of all over the place musically, making this playlist a journey of sorts.

Wussy Share Sure as the Sun Single

Leave a comment

Having a new Wussy single to share is a gift, especially when one considers what the band has been through. Through this, Chuck Cleaver is still trying to find solace in the world, such as this track. It’s an ode to trusting in the people around you, loved ones and friends, and maybe just neighbors; it’s about believing in them through mistakes and down times, “until they prove themselves unworthy.” All of this emotion is set to a dark folk march, rolling through the roads of America like an old Volkswagen commercial. This track appears on the group’s new LP, Cincinnati Ohio, which hits on November 15th via Shake It Records.

Last Week’s Jams (9.9 – 9.13)

Seemed like a strange week for some reason, but there were some definitely tunes that just broke my heart, in the best way possible. I continue to be impressed by Merce Lemon‘s new stuff, and “Crow” was just a beast. Porridge Radio, too, offered up a song that just wanted to shatter spirits, though if that’s the case, I won’t mind one bit. Alas, there was some pop in the week, like the new record from Young Scum and new single from Jim Nothing. Plus, old favorites the New Tigers are back, as is Germany’s Roller Derby. Indulge yourselves by pressing play below, but be sure to start with the powerhouse hit from The Wickies.

Wussy Announce Cincinnatti Ohio

Leave a comment

If you were near the Internet yesterday, I hope you heard that Wussy are back, after a six year gap and the passing of guitarist John Erhardt. His role in that band built in a texture that made the group almost a rare gem in the scene, but perhaps that’s where the band picks up on their latest single, reflecting on the way John and others have impacted us, even when they’re not on the other end of the telephone. Musically, there’s a rollicking rock nature here, something that has this natural drive and punch to it, albeit with a quieted ambient wall behind, allowing the emotion to crest amidst heavy textural builds. Really looking forward to hearing how far they push themselves; Cincinnati Ohio is out November 15th via Shake It Records.

Chuck Cleaver Shares Terrible Friend

Leave a comment

Former Ass Ponys frontman Chuck Cleaver is prepping for the release of his new solo effort Send Aid, and with that, he’s got a new single to share out there. To me, this is like a barroom stomper; it’s got these two feuding guitar lines, one strumming while the other feeds noise to the listener’s ear. Chuck’s voice matches that juxtaposed vibe, forceful at times, while stretching to reach the more melodic tones throughout the verses; I like that after all this time he still has this fragility in his voice, the little sort of imperfections that turn listeners to fanatics. Send Aid will be out on July 19th via Shake It Records, with a tour up in the North East to follow.
