Shane Olivo (Guitar/Vocals), Radish Beat (Drums/Vocals) and Jessi Nakles (Keyboard/Vocals) make up the Milwaukee, USA based indie out-fit The New Loud , which has been around for about 6 years. The New Loud Clouds of steam normally emanate from my ears when I hear from... yet... another... US Indie band, they invariably sound like a bad copy of a poor band. The New Loud however quickly extinguished the steam as they generate something of genuine interest. For sure [...]

They say the 902s should be "coming back" any time now-if they ever went away. Shane from The New Loud knows this. His band has a new single called "Wrapped In Plastic." The track was inspired by the cult classic TV show Twin Peaks and the song was written from the point of view of the dead 90s icon Laura Palmer . This week, we have not one but two acts with a special connection to that [...]

When I was in high school, I really wanted to start a band that included a sweet synth keyboard a la The Anniversary, The Get-up Kids, and most other Midwest emo bands from the late '90s. I didn’t want to start an emo band necessarily, I just really loved that sound of the synth; that glorious Moog sound. I still have a soft spot for those bands, but I have lost a bit of desire to start a band in 2010 that makes music such as that. There are still some people who do want to make late '90s sounding [...]

This week was one of those weeks that's puts things into context. Covering music is a bitch. Between Sasquatch! , Arcade Fire , Belle & Sebastian , The National , Smashing Pumpkins , and all the festival lineup announcements , I think I speak for everyone here at CoS when I say we're a bit tired. And that's even after a four-day work week. So, while we catch our breath, use this time to check out the following mix of music's best new singles, covers, and remixes, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you [...]
Click here to listen to the SOTD “Wrapped In Plastic”. The second single from The New Loud's upcoming LP Measures Melt due out June 8th, is a nod to the seminal 1990 David Lynch TV series, “Twin Peaks,” as told from the perspective of the murdered icon, Laura Palmer. “Wrapped In Plastic” emulates the cloaked normalcy and edgy atmosphere of the series by tweaking a pop song template, adding change-ups in time signature and dissonant harmonic keyboard hooks. Undercurrents climax when a foreboding noise pad in the bridge overtakes the mix for a second before being tucked neatly [...]

Words: Gareth O’Malley It’s not often that a band not knowing what kind of music they want to create is a good thing. There’s a fine line between diversity and indecisiveness after all. Milwaukee’s The New Loud have only a general idea of what kind of band they want to be; nothing in particular. It works quite well for them, however. The group are placed perfectly between electro and rock, abruptly dipping into one and then the other, whenever the mood takes them. One thing that’s consistent about ‘Measures Melt’, however, is that there’s [...]

mp3: Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band -- "Leaving Trails" Seems deeper, maybe more fuzzed, maybe less playful than the previous release, though no big changes. Still a good song.

St. Helens Vietnam Band 's new album, Where The Messengers Meet , is out in August. mp3: Sunglasses -- "Whiplash" Really like this band from GA. Get [...]

The New Loud pays homage to old-school, 8-bit era video games with their latest music video, “Secrets”. Opening with a couple arguing, director Jack Packard sets “The Boy” character on a quest from reality to a video game world where he is determined to win back his love by replacing his slacker outfit with clothes of a career driven adult. Live band footage was shot at the Historic Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI, a thriving music venue which has hosted acts such as Passion Pit, OK Go and The Magnetic Fields. With explosively colored outfits and back drops, the [...]
