The second full-length album from Promised Land Sound has a much more laid back sound than I previously had them filed under. Jangly guitars, earnest vocals with just the hint of melancholy and maybe even a dash of Tom Petty influence underlying in there. Rather enjoying the full album andÂ
I’m all for a novelty Halloween song but a collection of Halloween themed beats?! Oh yea. These two genres need to intersect a whole lot more often. Thank you Brer Sunshine.Â
Ender Bowen – Lemonymous Ender Bowen has accomplished a particularly impressive feat. He undertook the task of remastering and re-releasing his 2005 release Lemonymous for its own ten-year anniversary. He even threw in an entire album of remixes entitled Lemonymix. Re-releasing a record in and of itself isn’t impressive but doing it because you felt […]
There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to BLVCK PØW∃Я – are they a Nashville band or are they, as they claim, a Danish outfit creating Witchhouse jams? Is this a one off project or a legitimate endeavor that we’ll hear more from later. What we DO know is that they’ll be playing at this […]
JEFF the Brotherhood - Global Chakra Rhythms JEFF will release their tenth album on Nov 13th of this year and you can preview the first track “Radiating Fiber Plane†over on Stereogum now. The album is, reportedly, a “return to slacker fuzz vibe of their early days. “ Sounds good to me.
Cassette Store Day 2015 is right around the corner (Oct 17th to be exact) and Friendship Commanders are coming out swinging with this new release of fast paced, big riff rock. There’s still some well placed ooh’s and aah’s hanging out in there but, make no mistake, this is driven rock-n-roll at its finest. Oh, […]
Clearly, it’s safe to assume that the Boo Dudes are making some ridiculous Halloween music based on their band and album names. However, the absurdity is entirely amusing. They did it. They sought to write songs about Dracula getting a DUI or a Kreepy Kegger and they accomplished it. Without being annoying either I might […]
Released in 2009, this collection of songs never seems to get old to me. Granted, the songs are about ghouls, experiments gone awry and the undead but they are stories I continuously want to hear over and over. Honestly, I listen to this once a day during October, at least! I implore you to do […]
Another entry in the V to Z monthly releases project. This new track features Jason Moore on vocals along with some space-y keyboards and floaty atmospheric vibes.Â
Dive into the first official single from Porcelain Teeth and then go see them play their album debut at The Belcourt on October 13th. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
It’s been a minute since Happy Little Trees released anything out into the world (2011 to be more exact) but the feel good pop rock onslaught hasn’t seemed to have slowed any during that time. It’s only two songs – as the title clearly states – but they’re packed full of a punch and energy that […]
There is something decidedly reminiscent of this EP that harkens the works of The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Church. To put it more ridiculously, it has a feeling that one might equate with going to a sombre german college in the 80′s. But that’s pigeon holing it a bit much. The influences make […]
