Whistle the Dirges is the debut album from Savannah’s General Oglethorpe & The Panhandlers and was released earlier this month.

More from Wavves

A couple of days ago we posted the one minute forty four seconds of ramshackle lo-fi that was the track, TV Luv Song – a new demo from Wavves. Barely 72 hours later we have another new track Horse Shoes. This time it is an altogether weightier four minutes plus…and reworked from a Daytotter session…and pretty hectic!

New from Timber Timbre

Canadians Timber Timbre’s self titled debut album rightly picked up a lot of plaudits for its spooky, sparse, sinister, and sometimes downright malevolent take on folk music. The restrained approach served the album exceptionally well, and we were particularly looking forward to them playing at the End of the Road festival last year. Sadly circumstances prevented them making it on the day, but we’re glad … Continue reading New from Timber Timbre

More from The Angry Years

On the night before Christmas we introduced you to the rather spiffing The Angry Years in the shape of Dress Yourself As Someone Dead and admired a band still going hard at it on Christmas Eve. So we’re happy to share their latest offering with you now. Another great song title in The Depressing Resurgence of One Liner Comedy and encouragingly it is more spiky indie rock … Continue reading More from The Angry Years
