Warm Ryders - “High in the Countryâ€, “Bad Eggâ€
Prior to their debut performance at Exit/In, Warm Ryders dropped by Lighting 100 to perform two songs. Some great harmonies there and I fully support anything Evan P Donohue is involved with.

El El “Kiss Kiss†– Official Video
The official video for El El’s “Kiss Kiss†was JUST released and it’s quite the celebration. If you like seeing people lose their minds, this is the video for you. Kudos to the whole crowd, some seriously well executed freakouts here. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
People Zoo – People Zoo
Anyone that has been reading this site for any amount of time knows that I have a deep affinity for any band that is capable of finding the balance between upbeat pop music and melancholy vocal delivery. With that in mind, when I stumbled upon People Zoo and their debut EP I was quite pleased. […]
Mystery Twins “Now & Thenâ€
Typically you think of Mystery Twins as an explosive bit of garage rock but their softer side packs just as much of a punch. This two minute performance of “Now & Then†is beautifully shot and just a touch of haunting in the vocal performance. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
The Lees of Memory – 33 1/3
Want to know a surefire way to take already enjoyable, immersive, shoegaze music to the next level? Take the audio intended for 45rpm playback and set it at 33 1/3 speed. That slowed down sludginess provides just the right amount of disconnected, time-warp, ethereal immersion.Â
Friendship Commanders - “Animals of Prideâ€
Last we heard from Friendship Commanders they were releasing their GARFIELD cassette with a full-length to follow shortly. According to their site, they scraped that album and started anew. The results are DAVE – to be released this February – and you can hear the first sneak at their efforts in “Animals of Prideâ€.  Preorder the […]

The Dead Deads “Super Tinyâ€
I don’t mean this despairingly, but there’s a mixture of Mad Max and Harry Potter to the latest from The Dead Deads. The crew meets up in a questionable biker bar with leering men, takes them on with lazer guns and then rocks out after a contemplative moment in the bathroom with a holographic makeup […]
Anchor Thieves – Monolith
The specificity of it is hard to describe but there’s a raw confidence throughout the latest full-length release from Anchor Thieves that really carries the album. The fuzzed out guitars and dreamy vocals are expertly executed through the ten songs but the variety of small details that crop up in each song are what have […]

All Them Witches “Under Pressureâ€
The infamous Queen + David Bowie cover does not seem like a likely target for brooding psych rockers All Them Witches but it works surprisingly well. I credit the particularly dark lyrical vibe to the song. Oddly, the ATW version is surprisingly short, a song factoid you’ve never heard applied to this band previously. (Source: […]
