Happyness have just announced a brand new double A-side single release in the form of long-time fan favourites Montreal Rock Band backed with the contrastingly upbeat It’s On You. The former is the track that won the band an NME Award for Best Lyric back in February. “I’m wearing Win Butler’s hair / There’s a scalpless singer in a Montreal rock band somewhere”. Awesome! Stream the … Continue reading New Single From Happyness
We have already shared the first two excellent singles from Du Blonde’s forthcoming album Welcome back To Milk which sees the light of day on the 18th May. Now we have a third, Hunter shows the other side to Beth Jeans Houghton’s reinvention – this time we have a heartbreaker ballad complete with massive emotional chorus that contrasts dramatically with the riff-heavy aggression of her previous singles. … Continue reading New Single From Du Blonde
My Me is the new single from T. Hardy Morris’s forthcoming long player Hardy & The Hardknocks: Drownin On A Mountain Top, out June 23rd via Dangerbird Records. It is a straight-up whiskey-fuelled rocker that sounds like it was just made for the wide open road, a high octane muscle car and some serious rebelling. Obviously we love it. Stream it here. Pre-order the album here. … Continue reading T. Hardy Morris Shares New Song
Mixing up flowery bubblegum fuzz, Nuggets-era garage beat and drugged-out psychedelia, Betrayers take the listener on a hallucinogenic journey across an eerie landscape inspired by late nights, bad behaviour, warped love, and total freedom. The Edmonton based six piece released their debut album Let the Good Times Die early last year, and now they’re back with the feverish rumble and freaked out grooves of the … Continue reading Betrayers – Love Rat 7″

Having already shared Just To Tear Me Down earlier this month, we are loving Poolside Boys, another new tune from Flesh World. It too is taken from their upcoming album, The Wild Animals In My Life, out via Iron Lung Records on the 2nd June. As with the previous track, the post-punk influences ranging from Felt to the Cramps are there, but there is a brooding, … Continue reading More From Flesh World
Brooklyn’s The Teen Age released their new two-track digital single earlier this month on Old Flame Records, and now the band has shared a video for title track Low Cunning. What starts out as a typical night in with the essentials quickly turns strange for the foursome, who develop injuries and black eyes over the course of the three-minute track. You can watch the booze-fueled, … Continue reading New Video: The Teen Age – Low Cunning
