I Believe in Hotpants – The Teenage Pregnancy Party

I Believe in Hotpants
The Teenage Pregnancy Party
Available Digitally

I know very little about I Believe in Hotpants but after having listened to The Teenage Pregnancy Party EP I am glad they reached out for some coverage. The band is comprised of two brothers (twins) and a drummer they discovered through “an extremely desperate Craigslist ad” making pop-rock the way it should be made. Big guitars, emphatic sing-along choruses and an energy that’s always moving things forward. Fans of Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr., Sugar or any number of mid-to-late 90’s indie rock should find this right in their wheelhouse. I certainly did.

Matt Moody is a man of many bands. You can often find him making music with Hands Down Eugene, A Country Gentleman and, lately, with By Lightning. But he’s also decided to start releasing tunes under his proper name – Matt Moody. The first release from this new undertaking is the single “Name Your Heart” – available here. It’s 3 minutes and 19 seconds of big guitars and a welcome introduction to what may be coming down the pipe.

For awhile there Birdcloud was posting a new video from their album on a regular basis. Then things dropped off and I was concerned they’d decided to stop promoting their phenomenal, and perfectly offensive, record. Turns out, they just had something much more grandiose in mind. The video takes everything up ten notches – greater production value, more non-subtle sexual innuendo and, in my opinion, one of the best tracks from the record.
