Brooklyn seven-piece Ava Luna will release their proper debut LP, Ice Level , on February 28th via Infinite Best. The band is the brainchild of Carlos Hernandez, who's father just happens to be a producer that's worked with Fucked Up -- small world. Hear a cut from Ava Luna's forthcoming record below. Good luck trying to pigeonhole this band. Ava Luna - "Wrenning Day" Hernandez's father also works as a soul DJ, and it's clear that genre is a point of reference for Ava [...]
COLLAPSIBLE MAMMALS Travel Themes 7" OJO Records This 45 arrived sandwiched between a sleeve made from a map of Brazil and Africa with a skull hovering over a pair of hairy legs in pink—the slightly uneven sides where scissors had cut along the western border of Chile and Madagascar were a personal, handcrafted touch. Collapsible Mammals is a mish-mash of sampling and what sounds like a spontaneous approach to instrumentation. They're adept at creating soundscapes that appear to border the haphazard and strange. A member of OJO, head-mammal Chris Avitabile has [...]
For a new feature here at Gimme Noise, I've decided to unleash my old box of Minnesota-made 7" records starting with one my favorites, the Hang Ups, and their "Top of Morning" single that was r
The Cathy Santonies Chicago rockers The Cathy Santonies and local punks Vortis will release a new 73 split on July 1 titled Rock N Roll Belongs to Everyone . Cathy Santonies singer Radio Santoni said in an email to Loud Loop Press that the members of Vortis came to the Santonies with the album idea. "We thought about it for like 30 seconds and then we were all 'Yeah!'," Santoni said. "Vortis is a pretty no-nonsense punk rock-style band, and so Santonies were seeing this as a [...]

American fans are still savoring the domestic release of Swedish chamber-psyche band Dungen . Skit I Allt ("Fuck It All") dropped this summer in the act's native country, but us Yanks have only had a couple of weeks to let their newest record sink in. Now, according to the fine folks over at Rolling Stone , around the time of that American release, Dungen was not only in the U.S. but in the studio with the very American Mr. Jack White . The band will be contributing a seven-inch single to [...]

Download: The Champagne Socialists "Blue Genes" (from "Blue Genes" 73 available now from Slumberland Records) The new Champagne Socialists "Blue Genes" 7" is only two songs, but the band maximizes their six minutes of bouncy, punk-infused '60s pop. It's just sugary enough, and the lazy-slash-sunny California tinge eliminates any pretension that tends to bog down a lot of [...]

Welcome Home Walker's new 7" not only has great art (with great moustaches), but shows that these boys from Portland have an infectious lust for the kind of Dion-meets-a-dinosaur five-chord guitar rock that has been sorely lacking in nearly every trash rock movement since the eighties, and never done quite as well as here.
Hey, it's contest time! We need a name for our weekly, "here's ten songs that we think are really good" column. Please submit a comment with your suggestion. The winner will win....stuff.

We think that last one is nifty, but we'll leave that option up to the winner. Contest ends on Sunday, August 2nd. [...]
This tune made it's best known appearance on Ryan Adams ' record Cold Roses , but its first appearance was on a significantly rarer, and much more raw seven inch, released on Adams' own Pax American records. As far as we can tell, the label only ever released three seven inches, all in 2004, and all comprised of Adams' home demos. The Now That You're Gone release (above), was perhaps the most notable, as it gave an almost-preview as to what was coming up from Adams. It contained two tracks from [...]
Some of The Seven Inches Boy do I feel silly. Since first coming across them sometime in the past, I've always purposely glossed over Leeds' Seven Inches . Why? I don't know, really – which is exactly why I decided to give their new Open-Ness and Honesty EP (released just yesterday on Tom's new Indie-MP3 Records !) a try! Sure glad I did, because, though unbeknown to me this whole time, The Seven Inches are actaully really, really good. Both the first and final tracks of this three-song EP are [...]
