We were big fans of Jackson Scott’s 2013 release Melbourne and his sophomore full-length release Sunshine Redux is out in April via Bloodmoss Records. This track is PRPLMTV, a brilliant excursion into sonically charged psych-pop that submerges hazy vocals beneath a viscerally slow guitar burn. He says, “PRPLMTV is inspired by some kids I used to hang with in college. My generation loves apathy. There’s a secret message … Continue reading Jackson Scott – Sunshine Redux
Wild Pacific embraces a sound as raw as the garage/surf music of yesteryear with music encompassing oceanic views from rugged coastlines to tourist friendly, southern beaches.

It is these very tunes that will be featured on the band’s debut … Continue reading Introducing >>> Wild Pacific

At times bouncy-Ramones, with splashes of Dylan, Pavement, The Strokes and Lou Reed, SOFT feels concise and poppy, with plenty of darkness lying under the surface, dusting its cotton candy melodies with a fine layer of grit. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than on the latest track to be … Continue reading Rathborne – SOFT
Chris T Popper mentioned over the weekend how much he was liking the new single from Scottish indie rockers Idlewild, and although it has been around for a while, as we found it still lurking in our in-box we thought we’d give it a spin and share it with you. So listen to muscular new single Come On Ghost, and the equally powerful previous one Collect … Continue reading New Album From Idlewild
