Blank Range – “Opening Band”

Blank Range “Opening Band” It’s hard to believe that Blank Range has never release a full-length album given that they’ve been releasing quality music since as far back as 2013. Fortunately, that will all change in August with the release of Marooned with the Treasure. The album was recorded over “a whirlwind 4 day session” in Durham, […]

GAY VIBES “Two Wrongs (Make Us Right)”

New track from GAY VIBES featuring Arlene Sparacia of HR LEXY finds that nice balance between dance floor electronic banger and 80′s new wave goth. The guitar outro is especially perfect for the mixture.  Look for the Summerwave Mixtape: Volume One on July 19th, 2017 featuring further collaborations with Leticia Wolf (The Dead Deads), Kyle Andrews, […]

Sun Seeker “Won’t Keep Me Up At Night”

In order to keep your obsession with Sun Seeker’s debut EP, Biddeford, rolling right along I suggest you dive into the official video for “Won’t Keep Me Up At Night” in which a group of party goers demolish a house that’s on deck for a 32 unit condo. The subtle nod to the questionable growing pains […]

Sun Seeker, Biddeford 

The beautiful debut from Third Man Record’s Sun Seeker is available everywhere today. Biddeford is six songs of melancholy pop perfection, awash in familiar 60′s influences but still maintaining a unique and fresh perspective. Everything from Alex Benick’s sorrow soaked vocals to the Buddy Hughen production to the mesmerizing artwork is a goddamn treat. 

Hammock “Mysterium”

The official video for the title track off of Hammock’s forthcoming album, Mysterium, was recently released and it’s a slow burning piece of ambient landscape. The black-and-white video is a blurred and textured affair; best experienced with your immersive attention. Watch it here and pre-order the album here. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Welles “Life Like Mine”

Very very into this acid-trip / mindfuck of a video from Arkansas transport Welles. The underlying song, “Life Like Mine”, is a pop gem inspired by the likes of the druggiest era of the Beatles and their ilk. That’s to say, there’s a lot of unexpected instrumentation supporting a wonderfully memorable chorus. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Save the Internet Today, July 12th, is a day of solidarity for companies and users across the Internet to raise their voices to our political leaders to maintain Net Neutrality. The basic gist is that the FCC ruled that the Internet is governed by a set of rules that maintain a level playing field in […]

The Southern Shame – Orion EP The newest release from The Southern Shame, the 7-track Orion EP,  is a ramshacklin’, country infused romp. While certain songs like “Woke Up This Morning” tell macabre tales of murder hangovers, the real treat comes with “The Ballad of Jimmy Ellis”, an ode to the Elvis Impersonator of the same […]

All Them Witches – Live on KEXP

Take some time to watch the full KEXP studio performance from All Them Witches in which the band plays a number of selections off their latest album, Sleeping Through the War (and a few from previous releases). They even chit chat a little with host Cheryl Waters about being considered a Nashville band, despite only one […]

Faux Ferocious “Solvency”

Friday, July 14th, Faux Ferocious will release a new EP via Drop Medium Recording entitled, simply, 12″. You can hear two of the three tracks, “Solvency” along with “Me and Jonny”, over on Soundcloud and I highly recommend you do. It’s not a NEW sound for the band but it’s a sensible growth from their previous releases; […]

The Lees of Memory - The Blinding White Of Nothing At All If you don’t recall, The Lees of Memory is John Davis & Brandon Fisher from Superdrag along with Nick Slack from SLACK. They make a unique blend of pop, psych and shoegaze. For a refresher, just listen to Unnecessary Evil. Currently, they are rounding […]

Volume 88 One would think that Summer would signal a lighter load of releases but the opposite seems to be the case as lots of great, bigger name, albums are coming down the pipe. This Volume of the podcast covers a handful of the larger titles and makes sure to mix in a few new-comers […]
