Introducing >>> The Stammer

Philadelphia natives The Stammer have just released a self titled EP via Bandcamp that is chock full of flourishing guitar lines, vintage synth leads and hypnotising vocals that combine to provide a most promising debut. Drawing influences from post-punk, art-rock, and authentic garage with a garnish of classic 80s indie the four-piece are understandably, and for once justifiably, starting to create quite a buzz for themselves. … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Stammer

Introducing >>> The Lonesome Savages

The Lonesome Savages are a Madison band featuring members of Dead Luke as well as ex-members of Zola Jesus. They have a debut four track 7″ EP out on the ever excellent Kind Turkey Records titled All Outta Love. Singer Max Elliott howls over a punkabilly masterpiece that teeters on Cramps-esque infatuation but thankfully goes way beyond simple pastiche or plagiarism. No sir, this is just honest 50s … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Lonesome Savages

Introducing >>> The Shamefaced Sparrows

Like most music blogs we get a lot of music submissions. Sifting through them becomes, after a while, a process that is akin to shortlisting candidates for interviews. Sometimes we get minimal information “I’m Billy-Bob a singer-songwriter from Arkansaw, folks call me Bubba, I think you’ll like my music” and sometimes we get huge long press releases with photos, reviews, and lists of influences that … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Shamefaced Sparrows

Introducing >>> Paradise

The sound of Paradise is one steeped in fuzzed-out garage stomp and unhinged visceral jams. The title track from their forthcoming album Diary Of An Old Soul is so authentically primal, so reverential in its steady blues chug and psych-pop overcoat that is should come with a “If found, please return to the 60s” sticker. Marvellous stuff – listen for yourself. The album is out … Continue reading Introducing >>> Paradise
