PANGS – Vanishing Point

Over the past year, PANGS has continuously released a trickle of singles that fall into the category of Absolute Bangers; high energy tracks with loads of keyboards and hooks. Their latest offering, the Vanishing Point EP, takes a much milder turn; on both tracks there’s a much softer Lindsay Bennett vocal back by a melancholy […]

The Subnovas – “I Cannot Stop”

Really excited to hear the new album from The Subnovas based on this album summary: “I Cannot Stop” is the lead single off of our forthcoming album Between The Light Years, a concept album involving themes of nuclear apocalypse, eternity, and other heady ideas. A space-rock influenced concept album about impending nuclear apocalypse and all […]

BULLY – “Feel the Same”

If you haven’t caught the killer stop-motion animated video from LAZY MOM for Bully’s “Feel The Same” – do so at your earliest convenience. The new album, Losing, is out now on Sub Pop. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Robyn Hitchcock – Robyn Hitchcock

Fun fact: I know nothing about Robyn Hitchcock. Of his 21 studio albums, I have heard only this 2017 self-titled release. Having seen him walking around Tomato Fest or hearing friends sing his praises, I still managed to have zero context about his work. So, with that in mind, I’m either a hilariously inappropriate person […]

Ghost Gore – Prevues of Coming Attractions

I recently learned that the intimidating vocal style used in metal songs is officially known as the “Death growl” but affectionally referred to as Cookie Monster vocals. An amusing but mind-altering new fact. This Ghost Gore EP is an onslaught of unrelenting riffs, intense drums and absolutely searing vocals; many of which are now undercut by […]

Joshua Morse – “Demon Seed”

If you’re paying attention, you may recall the name Joshua Morse from many a myriad of 8-bit / chiptune / VG releases. The latest in his arsenal is a single for “Demon Seed” – a ridiculously dancey piece inspired in part by the Castlevania III track of the same name. It’s a far cry from the […]

Teenage Dracula – Please Love Me

Total honesty policy, I was intrigued by this release purely based on the band name and time of the season. The concept of a Teenage Dracula could either be a huge hit show on the WB, a huge indie flick from Ana Purina studios or a hilariously kitschy show out of Australia. It could also […]

Volume 96: Halloween

In celebration of the ghoulish season I asked local music photographer and journalist / man-of-good-taste / Halloween aficionado Lance Conzett to curate an episode of the podcast brimming with his choice of local music spooky tunes. The resulting hour of selections is a delightfully surprising mixture of acoustic gothic tales, dark electronic and indie rock. […]

Datenight - “Too Good”

There’s not a lot of details around Datenight’s forthcoming album, Comin’ Atcha 100MPH, but if “Too Good” is any indication of what to expect, it’s going to be a blast of punk-rock energy with some memorable guitar licks.  Doing a tiny bit of research on the band reveals this two song Basement Sessions performance that, indeed, […]

Kim Logan – Pseudoscience: Chapter 3

Kim Logan continues her stream of Pseudoscience releases with Chapter 3, pairing new tracks “Ladyboy” and “Hitch your Wagon” together. The lead track has a rock swagger and layered chorus Sleater-Kinney would be jealous of. “Hitch Your Wagon” is a bit less in-your-face but highlights Logan’s slow-burning psychedelic side.Â
