Toronto's Little Girls offers a sound ripe in fuzzy surf noise madness and their first EP Tambourine just dropped June 2nd digitally through Paper Bag Records . According to the band's bio , Josh McIntyre was posting tracks on myspace under this new moniker of his to garner "unbiased" commentary from fellow musicians and friends. It is when his work garnered attention from big music blogs that he decided to step out of the shadows to reveal himself as the other half of shoegaze duo Pirate/Rock . He now has a whole band [...]
Holiday Shores - "Phones Don't Feud" ; Welcome back once again to the year of lo-fi. If you're still feeling it despite the horrible WAVVES breakup this weekend then please proceed to one of the finer examples being offered this year from a brand new act that is sure to pick right where the last one self destructed. If you are sick of it at this point please feel free to skip ahead at any point. Grade : B+ [...]

For some reason – well, probably because we don't automatically get their promo discs in our inbox (and our effort on keeping herohill running is only trumped by our general laziness and sense of entitlement) – I usually forget how much I like Paperbag 's roster. Luckily a promo email triggered my memory. Bottom line? June is going to be a big month for the Toronto label. First up, today marks the release of the Little Girls Tambourine EP. The songs – originally just the [...]

Little Girls - Thrills 123 Limited Edition of 500 Out in May from Mexican Summer Little Girls - "What We Did"

Yesterday Sonic Boom hosted a pretty full afternoon/evening of free music in honour of International Record Store Day and although I wasn't able to stay for the whole thing, I did catch the first four bands. In the spirit of musical appreciation, diversity was the order of the day with all of the bands bringing something unique to the table. My vote for most improved band goes to Hooded Fang , whom I have now seen three times in only a few months. I always liked them, [...]

Well its pretty much official with this release, Mexican Summer cannot be stopped. They've got the clout and they've certainly got the taste which is only proved further by this limited 12" from Valet. Honey Owens returns to her amorphous state of floating in time, breathing vapor and exhaling the tenderest of hushed tones. Two longer tracks start this off and get you fully engulfed into Owen's subconscious before she absolutely kills on a cover of "Rainbow" by Boris and Michio Kurihara. Mex Summer shows no signs of drought in their upcoming release schedule with 12"s on the horizon from [...]

THERE IS AN MP3 AT THE END OF THIS POST // Thanks to GVSB Read the title attached to this post, "greatness, at present (by and in large), does not exist". I believe that. I really do. The historical value in quality of worth and influence is time-honored. Few people throughout our desolate human past have traversed this gap into greatness amid the existence of present. Its a fucking sand trap. Presssssssssss-ent. We're all fucked. All of us and all our our stupid shitty hard work. All our dimes and nickels. [...]

Last night's post was almost too much for me to handle, so I'll start off today with some of the remnants from the night before, plus a couple new songs from The Thermals and Little Girls , and yet another TV on the Radio performance. Abe Vigoda will release their new Reviver EP February 17 ( pre-order here ) and I'm sure I'm surprised as anyone else who knows the band when I heard that they covered ... Stevie Nicks(?). It's a pretty big departure from [...]

I briefly mentioned the murky, lo-fi noise-pop of Toronto 's Little Girls a couple weeks ago, and the group has since made us aware of a couple of impending releases that you should know about. There's a 7" coming soon on Captured Tracks (home of Blank Dogs and Dum Dum Girls ), with a 12" called Thrills to follow on Mexican Summer ( Ariel Pink, Marissa Nadler , etc). " What We Did ", which will appear on [...]

Eula are Alyse (vocals, guitar) + Jef (bass) + Nate (drums). They describe themselves thusly... "Pulsating, sincere on verge of unraveling happy distortion. Running down complex flourishes with clarity melodious squares. Beat Beat crash crash slap swelling to precise fullness pooling on the floor." I can summarize for you: indie rock filled with postpunky goodness. The Connecticut trio are releasing a physical copy of their latest EP, Language Of Threat in March (I think). Take a listen. Downloadables: "Housewolf" (box.net mp3) "Fight Riff" (box.net mp3) Eula have [...]

" Girls " are clearly in line to be the new black/wolf/f**k/crystals for 09. So far we've got Vivian Girls , U.S. Girls , " My Girls ," and just Girls (not to mention Women ), and now, riding the dirty wave of ultra lo-fi yet extremely melodic/endlessly hummable noise-pop that seems to be building right now comes Toronto's Little Girls and TX's own Fungi Girls . Fungi Girls' upcoming 12" We first heard about [...]

I've got a pocket-full of reasons why I need you by my side" -Good Goodnight The Stargazer EP has been in contant rotation on my Zune since it's August 26 release. Amidst a summer full of Ep's this one has engaged me more than I expected. The EP's point of reference starts with the song " Faster Still" off their last full length 'Secrets Keep You Sick'. The first three songs on " Stargazer" being more experimental, electronic and [...]
