Hot Head Show Release Debut Album
We’ve been sat on this for a little while trying to work out how best to describe it, and while we’ve not found a definitive answer to that conundrum, it was no good reason to not post about Hot Head Show. The trio are experimental certainly, but that’s like simply saying the sun is quite warm. They are hugely unsettling one moment and sweetly melodic … Continue reading Hot Head Show Release Debut Album
New EP From Woodsman
Woodsman can be firmly filed under the psychedelic genre in your iTunes library. Skilfully avoiding the trap of self-indulgence and overcooked noodling, they mix swirling, spacey guitars, reverb washes, tribal drum patterns, vocal delays and ominous repetition into a mesmerising, pulsating whole on the excellent In Circles, the advance track from new EP Mystic Places. Doobie optional! The EP is out on October 25th via Fire … Continue reading New EP From Woodsman
Introducing…Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt
Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt is a musical project spawned from craziness, pick-me-ups, and late nights. The result is an 11 track album about crazy people, oceans, and murder. Sounds good to us! Created by a secretive and somewhat reclusive 19 year old Bloomington resident, most of the songs were written in his basement and bedroom in the late hours of the night. The style has been described … Continue reading Introducing…Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt
Introducing…Team Genius
Team Genius are from New York and formed back in 2007, releasing an EP and LP the following year and (as far as we can tell) this four song EP titled Pop Songs is their first release since then. They make catchy indie pop that fizzes with irreverence and good humour and is, we think, pretty much guaranteed to put a smile on your face. … Continue reading Introducing…Team Genius
Introducing…Guadalupe Plata
We couldn’t think of a better band to follow on from our Sex Beet post earlier. In the words of Michael, our doyen of good taste at Crash-Avenue, “Guadalupe Plata are Spanish dudes doing screamin’, amplified Delta blues by way of chunky, nasty Memphis and Detroit punk.” Think of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion duelling with The Dirtbombs in the Castilla La Mancha…and, er, you’ll not even … Continue reading Introducing…Guadalupe Plata

They’re due to be recording their debut album with King Khan in the next couple of months. They are shortly going back out on tour and have sent round this track, Dreams, a demo from … Continue reading New Song From Sex Beet
New Single From Mummy Short Arms
A while ago we posted the debut single, Cigarette Smuggling, from the marvellously named Mummy Short Arms, an off-kilter, woozy slice of surreal indie rock. The Glasgow based band have announced the release of their second single, a maverick slice of melody entitled Change. The influences remain, spanning Captain Beefheart, the Velvet Underground and Tom Waits. It is out on the 14th November on limited … Continue reading New Single From Mummy Short Arms
Introducing…Colossal Gospel
Colossal Gospel hail from Alabama and spent six months recording their debut album Circles. The band is made up of just Chris Johnson & Stephen Weibelt, and yet throughout the album they are able to create a gorgeous, warm intimacy that somehow sounds bigger than just a duo. Theirs is a traditional folk sound, but one that benefits from carefully constructed lyrics and smooth, choral harmonies that … Continue reading Introducing…Colossal Gospel
