Hailing from sunny Edmonton, Canadian trio The Velveteins are a rock n’ roll band dealing in raucous, heavyweight guitar pop that takes its cues from surf-pop and garage rock as well as such luminaries as the Kinks, and the Libertines. New single is Don’t Yah Feel Better? and comes with a sweet guitar melody inspired by classic Indian influences. Well worth a listen. Stream it below. … Continue reading MM Shorts 902: The Velveteins
A slightly quieter week due I suspect to Thanksgiving, but still we have eight new songs from you. Check out tracks from Father John Misty, Cate Le Bon, Howe Gelb and Tim Cohen (of the Fresh & Onlys), another taste from the Lower Plenty’s album Sister Sister, as well as excellent new singles from Proper Ornaments, Beachheads and Matthew Squires & The Learning Disorders. Over … Continue reading Eight Songs You Should Have Heard This Week
San Antonio’s We Leave At Midnight recently announced their new album The Holy Rolling Flower Band will be released on December 9th via Texas Is Funny Records. Mixing together swirls of vivid psych, shimmering pop, indie rock, folk, upbeat power-pop, garage rock and alt-country, the band have created a sound that resides somewhere sonically between The Beach Boys and Of Montreal. It’s a headtrip with … Continue reading Introducing >>> We Leave At Midnight
Happyness will release the successor to 2014’s excellent long player Weird Little Birthday next Spring and they have shared the first taste of what the album will sound like in the form of new single Falling Down. It has echoes of early Fleetwood Mac, a touch of Interpol perhaps, even a synth outdo, but essentially it remains as resolutely and defiantly true to their laid-back melancholia as always. … Continue reading Happyness Share Falling Down
Here are eight new songs to end the week, including two from the mighty Ty Segall – a track from his forthcoming self-titled album and a cover of a Harry Nilsson track that was released as a split seven inch with Loch Lomond. We also have an appropriately apocalyptic track (in every sense) from POND, a re-worked version of an album track from Fear Of … Continue reading Eight Songs You Should Have Heard This Week
Permit is a Bloomington, IN based duo whose debut six track 7” reflects their love of 70s-80s classic rock, punk, and power pop. Think Thin Lizzy, but twice as fast. Listen to the catchy, if unimaginatively titled, Track #6 below, and order the 7″ from Bandcamp here. Continue reading MM Shorts 893: Permit
Leeds duo Menace Beach recently announced details of a new album Lemon Memory (due 20th January, on Memphis Industries – pre-order here). They will release a new single, Give Blood, on the same day. It harnesses their raucous and scuzzy energy, but in perhaps their most “pop” moment to date. It’s good. Have a listen. See them live 31 Jan – Sheffield, The Picture House 01 Feb … Continue reading Menace Beach – New Single, New Album, Tour Dates
Here is another from punk-pop four-piece The Regrettes – Seashore is a feminist anthem of sorts. Slightly slower and dare we say calmer than the previous tracks we’ve posted, it allows the defiantly barbed lyrics to take centre stage and it is all the better for it… Listen below. Continue reading More From The Regrettes
We posted a couple of excellent tracks from Swedish indie-pop quartet Hater’s debut EP Radius this summer. Now they’re back with new music in the shape of new single Mental Haven, the first from their upcoming debut LP You Tried, which is due on 10th March 10 next year. Listen below, it retains the urgency of their debut, along with a heavy dose of both emotion … Continue reading Hater Announce Debut Album. Share Mental Haven
