Boo Dudes – Master of Pumpkins

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 […]

Shaboi – Curse Walk

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 […]

Happy Little Trees – 2 Songs

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 […]

Blinds – EP

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 […]

Fuzz Ghost – Fuzz Ghost EP

Fuzz Ghost manages to find that magical combination of lo-fi recording style, languid vocals, a melodic chorus and a driving energy throughout. It’s also, smartly, just five songs – so there’s not much room for error or boredom. 

Volume 69 Admittedly, it’s been a few months since the last edition of the podcast. However, it hasn’t been that long since I actually compiled one, it’s just been a regrettably long time since I released it. You should have been enjoying these fine songs all summer long! The upside is that truly good new music […]

Heavy Hitter – End of the Road EP

Hopefully they take no offense to this but I think it’s safe to say this collection of four songs fits squarely into the Screamo genre. I hesitate to lump it in with the rest of the 90′s throwbacks that have been sprouting up all over the place but it’s definitely a nice reminder of a […]

Volume 69

Download M4A Download MP3Stream Podcast It has been, admittedly, a few months since the last edition of the podcast. However, that does not mean it’s been a few months since I’ve actually compiled one, it’s just been awhile since I released one. The delay is unfortunate but it works out favorably because these songs are […]

Kyle Andrews – Live from Tootsie’s at the Airport?

I can’t decide which is more surprising, that Kyle Andrews released a country inspired record or that it’s entitled “Live from Tootsie’s at the Airport?” Yes, with the question mark. It’s probably the title that wins out for the oddest part of this release because the music isn’t that baffling – it’s a more straightforward batch […]

Porcelain Teeth – Hurry Up and Wait teaser

From the ashes of Umbrella Tree rises Porcelain Teeth – a new band that seems to be promising quite the audio-visual affair at their album release show on October 13th. Watch that teaser – it’s amazing! If the show can sustain 25% of the goodness seen and heard in that video, it will be an […]
