Suicide Squeeze Records is set to release The World Is Too Much With Us, the new LP from Vancouver-based band, Peace. The band’s sound has been described as a “hypnotic thud”, which may owe much to the downpour that keeps Vancouver in wet and darkness for nine months of the year.

Negative Pegasus are a consciousness expanding, hard-psych three-piece from Brighton. The tracks on debut album Looming weave between primordial bone-shakers, stretched-out growls and ethereal retro-pop nuggets. For fans of Oneida, Ex Models and Can.

It seems to us that Tweak Bird have always been somewhat under appreciated compared with the plaudits heaped upon other bands like White Denim and Tame Impala. Not that those two bands aren’t fully deserving of the acclaim – they are. Its just that we think some of those plaudits and that buzz should be coming the way of this duo from Los Angeles by-the-way-of Southern … Continue reading New From Tweak Bird
