THE DASHING SUNSMy good friend, and you're favorite blog journalist, or "blournalist" (pronounced bl-urn-al-ist), Chuck Ryan posted a song by The Dashing Suns back before their LP Really Like You dropped. Well guess what? I like this song off that album too. Chuckie described the song he posted, "Future Thunder", as an earworm, which sounds gross. As it turns out though, these guys are just plain

Desde el pasado 24 de agosto se encuentra disponible "Really Like You", álbum de debut de la banda de Oakland The Dashing Suns. Se trata de un disco enérgico y vibrante, garage-pop en estado puro, en el que las guitarras suenan contundentes y las melodías resultan super pegadizas, en definitiva, música vitalista que en determinados momentos nos recuerda incluso el sonido de Weezer. Entre las canciones incluidas en el álbum se encuentran las dos que podéis descargar a continuación. Website [...]

Starting at 3pm, All Together Now enlists Religious Girls , electro-post-punkers Clipd Beaks , Grand Lake and a handful of [...]

Bay Area beach bums The Dashing Suns will release their debut LP, Really Like You , next week. But before the band introduces audiences to their breezy brand of garage and skuzzy sunburnt pop, the Oakland quartet wanted to offer up a few reinterpretations of other people's tunes. First up? The ramshackle "Billy Two" from underrated Kiwi rock troupe The Clean. Next? A reverb-y take on downtown 60s icons The Velvet Underground and their classic "Who Loves The Sun." These tunes should whet your appetites until next week when the band will be streaming [...]

der musikmarkt ist so breit, es wird immer irgendwo veröffentlicht. wer sich intensiv mit der materie beschäftigt, dem wird auch auffallen, dass es das vielbeschworene sommerloch nicht gibt. es ist maximal ein löchchen, das sich auftut, wenn die großen firmen etwas herunterfahren. aber alle anderen kämpfen weiter ums überleben. wir auch: aus chicago und neu auf abandoned love records , mit "piecemeal" wollen sie ab 17. august gewaltig durchstarten, allerdings eher auf samtenen pfoten, sehr feinsinnig, sehr schön: like pioneers - gift like a holiday [...]

I have been obsessed with surf pop lately. Oakley, CA's Dashing Suns has got that vibe that makes you wanna get out your swimsuit, bottle of SPF and go eat junk food by the nearest sandy shore. It's garage rock that's poppy, jangly and slightly fuzzy with reverb. Their LP, Really Like You , will be released on August 24, 2010. Dashing Suns - Future Thunder (mp3) (iTunes)
THE DASHING SUNSChuck here, your favorite blog journalist, or blournalist (pronounced bl-urn-all-ist), bringing your three swell diddies today. The first comes from a jaunty four-piece group from Oakland. That's in California. The band's name is The Dashing Suns, and what they play is fuzzy, rocky beach pop. Below you can find an earworm of theirs. "What is an earworm?" you might ask. Well, it
Grab the sensational tune at bottom. Really Like You will see daylight on 8/24. Watch 'My Best Friend' here. Visit The Dashing Suns on MySpace. MP3: The Dashing Suns - Future Thunder

Image: Simon Howden / FreeDigitalPhotos.net First off, apologies as usual on the posting. Freelance work and spotty Internet help very little. It's been pretty hot around Northern Wisconsin lately so that has put me in the mood for some surf music. Once I wrapped up work for the evening I hopped on my digital boogie board and hit the inbox waves and lo and behold, came across the Dashing Suns. Maybe they're not exactly surf music, or beachrock, or whatever eponymous (sic) term they want to consider themselves, [...]

I've recently started using social media. Well, okay, really- I've always had Facebook/Myspace/Twitter, but I've recently added a Blip.fm account, and set up a Page for SquirrelFood on Facebook - it just seemed like a thing to do. Someday, maybe I'll get them all working together nicely, but until then, you may as well go ahead and like/friend/listen/blip/whatev er to them individually... please? Oh, and here's some more music for you. Enjoy the weekend! Tracklisting: Carissa's Wierd - Die [...]
