Another dose of great pop now available from Brett Rosenberg, aka Quichenight. The Minor Sea continues his exploration of lo-fi, vintage tinged, beachy good times with a dose of sarcasm and snarkiness. There is definitely a cleverness to his work and that holds true for this quality collection of new songs.

I distinctly remember meeting Brandon Jazz and telling him that he was rock solid evidence that I was too old to understand what The Kids were into these days. I’m going to double back on that statement and claim that I still don’t fully grasp it but I get that this is just about having […]

This may be the first official release from PANGS and I’m quite curious to hear more. Catchy, female fronted, pop rock with plenty of energy and danceability. Oh, and it’s backed by a classic Wreckless Eric track – a cover that puts them in good company.

Big congrats to Photo Ops on two fronts:  1) the song “Maybe We’ll Change” is prominently featured in the trailer for the new Jemaine Clement movie People, Places, Things.  2) Jemaine himself tweeted out a link to buy the track – featuring artwork by We Own This Town favorite, Elizabeth Williams. It’s a solid song (and […]

The easiest classification of The Alarms is Rock Music. Lots of soaring choruses, jangly guitars, driving drum beats and flourishes mixed in throughout.

Very excited to see that Steelism has a series of new EP’s coming out. The first track, “The Serge”, is from The Drawing Room, Volume I and is available to pre-order on CD here. 

It’s been nearly a year since since BEDROOM released anything but Noah Kittinger has roused from his slumber and released another breezy lo-fi summer track for all to enjoy.  

I rather enjoyed the previous release from Omniscient Art – The Rift – and WE WILL seems to continue in the same vein. Instrumental explorations with hip-hop, ambient and avant-garde roots. 

First off, accolades should be given to these guys for shortening their name from Ben Spinks Supermelt to, simply, Supermelt. It more properly embodies the bombastic rock they’re capable of without giving you some sense of silliness before you even hear a note. Secondly, GREAT work to them for putting together such a fine record. […]

It came out in 2008 but the G.E.D. Soul series of 7″’s holds strong. The best place to start is, clearly, the first in the series. If you haven’t noticed, GED Soul has been slowly but surely putting out some very worthwhile tracks.
