Another big riff rock track coming in HOT from The By Gods. This is the second song to be released from their forthcoming January release, Get On Feelings. There’s a decidedly 90′s aesthetic to their music but the sincere vocal delivery really makes it work. 

The first single from EL EL’s forthcoming 2016 album has been released. I can’t tell if I’ve heard this song before or not but there’s something incredibly familiar about it. Or, MAYBE, it’s just that relatable of a pop song? You know the type.

The aesthetic of Bootleg Glory would leave you to believe they are a rawkous country outfit looking to have a good beer swilling time but the music within is much more of a dark, brooding, psych rock or indie pop. Sometimes appearances really can be deceiving. After listening to the above track, be sure to check out “Young Ambition” and “I’m At The Lake” – both showing off an enjoyable diversity from these guys.

Despite forming in early 2015, I’ve somehow managed to miss the output of Only; comprised of members of WOTT favorites King Arthur and Echo Group. The latest single release is, hopefully, a taste of a full fledged album in 2016. The music has an 80′s pop tone to it, ala Echo and the Bunnymen or even faint whiffs of The Cure, with just the right Pained Melancholy vocal style. 

In case you missed it, the entire Some Paranoia EP from Idle Bloom is now available for streaming. It’s incredibly good and I imagine requires many repeated listens.

Another preview track from the forthcoming Idle Bloom release, Some Paranoia (out tomorrow – Dec 4th). Sounds like they’ve really fleshed out and pushed their big riff rock sound even further. Loving what I’m hearing.

Is there an irony in calling your band Direct to Cassette and then only releasing the songs digitally? Probably but that’s not the matter at hand. These three tracks are an experimental undertaking between Andrew Harlan and Josh Marberry – two long time friends and film composers. The results are ambient, drone-y, a bit noisey and pretty perfect for zoning out to. 

PUJOL thrives in a live environment. It’s definitely a different beast than his records (especially lately) but that’s a good thing. The songs take on new life; often much more emphatic and a bit manic. 

Like Jeff Buckley or other R&B soulful crooners with an underlying Jazz vibe? Well, Woman Dance Unfortunate may be up your alley. It’s plenty of piano and drums combined with introspective ooh’s and aah’s inside sorrowful love tales. It’s got a lot of drive and building tension to it as well and some rather simple cover art.
