Last Friday, Benjamin A. Harper released his latest solo effort, Get Thee Behind Me. The undertaking is a lush one – filled with harmonies, a wide arrangement of styles and something a little special in each song that pops out the more you listen (i.e. that vocal stutter in “Leave This Place Aloneâ€) The output of Mr […]
The first preview track from Magic in Three’s full-length September album, Return of Magic in Threes.It’s the instrumental, R&B, funky, soul journey that you’ve been meaning to take for awhile.
Badass new video from Magnolia Sons depicting the liberation of women through the total beatdown of The Man. It’s an excellent homage to classic 60′s and 70′s action films, down to the desaturation and cheesy projection backgrounds. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
My dabblings into the works of The Breathe In, Breathe Ou and their EP, Lungs, has taught me that “Honey Guzzler†is, for me, their finest jam. It’s dark, builds in tension and the vocals are as offputting as they are alluring. Honestly, it’s that somewhat manic style that kept me listening – I’d love […]
It’s interesting to hear a full fledged release from BUMMRcity. On one hand, it a bit more drug addled and lo-fi  than the prior “Freakout†track on their Spaghetti Split. On the other hand, its dumb to judge a band on the merits of a single song. Additively, there are some solid covers on this EP, […]
Pretty much the perfect combo of teasing anticipation and enjoyable weirdness. Kind of like JEFF in general. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Who’s in the mood for some jangly guitar pop with just the right mixture of optimism and melancholy in the vocals? You are, that’s who! The new Minor Toughs EP offers a nice bit of variety in just three short songs – jangly pop, introspective musings and big thick rock. Be sure to wait for “Way […]
take Corey Chisel, Jonny Fritz and Robert Ellis and you’ve got Traveller. Their first song is a simple one but showcases their talents well. Looking forward to more. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Listen to the first track from the forthcoming Warm Harm album. Primary lylas creator Kyle Hamlett says the song came to him in a dream, fully formed. That’s a helluva dream.
Following up on the announcement that Forest of Tygers has a brand new 7″ available via Acteon Records, here’s a video for their side of the vinyl. Much like the song, the video is brutal. Appropriate I’d say. Go for the suicide, stay for the cameo by drummer Rachel Valosik. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Forest of Tygers / Act of Impalement 7″ The debut vinyl release from Forest of Tygers by way of Acteon Records will be this split 7″ featuring “Pay of Pigs†and will be available July 7th (at least, at press time that was the word.. let’s see if that happens!).Â
How about a new, instrumental, soulful track from the Grips designed to play as the soundtrack to your summer BBQ? Yes, I will have some, thank you.
