Not gonna lie, I was starting to worry that we’d heard the last from Evan P Donohue. It’s been quite awhile since his last release but he’s back! The first single, “She’s Mine I’m Yours” is just a taste of what to expect from his forthcoming full-length, Stairway to Evan. Yes, that’s the actual awesome title.Â
You can also snag the track over on his Bandcamp and see him at The Stone Fox on July 10th (that’s tomorrow).
Ryan Burleson has re-released his Girls of the SEC EP, Lost Summer, with some bonus tracks. If you missed it the first time, don’t be a dummy this time around – get it. It’s a helluva soundtrack for the warmer days.
Bad. Ass. Can’t wait for this full album in September.
There’s something about this video that freaks me out. Is it possible that we’re seeing the beginning of a cult form? Regardless, it’s a solid video and a great summer tune. Well done EL EL.
If you haven’t been paying attention you may have missed the fact that Meadownoise has continuously been adding to his slow-release album, Dark Digest. “Casi Mato”, “Red Again” and “The Thrush” are now available for your ears to enjoy. Dive in.
A new track from faves All Them Witches just popped on Bandcamp and it’s listed as an EP. My initial thought was more must be on the way but that one track is 25 minutes long! You can’t call yourself Stoner Jam unless you actually jam every once and awhile.Â
Maybe I’m revealing a bit of myself here but this Useless Eaters 7" is strangely sexy in its fuzzy execution.Â
Members of Blank Range, Cy Barkley & The Way Outsiders, Chrome Pony and No Regrets Coyote get together for 24 hours to record 3 songs. The results are well worth a watch. The Making Of video is an entertaining bit of late-night struggle over at Club Roar or you can just dive into the results below. Quality all around.
FIST – “My Way Home”
FIST – “We’ve Got You Surrounded (My Latin Baby)”
FIST – “Headed West”
Good to see that Todd Evans is continuing with this dreamy undertaking, The Golden Sounds. I’ve always enjoyed that a band with such a positive name really seems to carry a musical vibe that is striving to match that optimism. It’s melancholy but it works.
I believe the proper genre for this is Math Rock Screamo? or Post-Rock Screamo? Or Melodic Screamo? Or Throat Mauling Math Rock Screamo? Whatever it is, there’s some legit screaming going on.
I am, admittedly, a sucker for many things. So, when you combine a group of girls copping a slightly macabre vibe mixed with hard rock leaning pop songs I’m inevitably going to fall for it. It might not make your “most deep thinking record of the year” list but maybe you can shake loose the chains of indie rock snoot and just enjoy it. I did and it feels right.
Have you heard The Prudish Few yet? Now is your chance. And then go see them on Saturday at The 5 Spot with Baseball Bat and Tower Defense. No brainer.
