Hey DOODZ! Nice to see you! And it's great that you're here, 'cause you know they say: "A Shit That Comes Out Today a day keeps the herpes away." (If STCOT came more than once a week we'd really be on to something!) Anyway we've got all the new hard and heavy jamz to make [...]

Last week Soft Swells electrified San Francisco at our Noise Pop Happy Hour. Today the buzz-worthy band releases their debut proving the buzz isn't just hype.
With a big week behind us and an even more monstrous one ahead, the Buzz Bands LA show glides into the weekend with a special program today on Moheak Radio . Besides new music from Rademacher, the Dead Ships, Marriages, Wildcat! Wildcat!, Dot Hacker and the Record Company, I will be joined in the noon hour at the Wavaflow Studios by Tim Williams and Matt Welsh of Soft Swells , whose debut album comes out on Tuesday and whose songs have been regulars in recent BBLA playlists. A little conversation, a couple of songs, a good time — [...]
Besides its obvious charms — agile melodies, caffeinated percussion and twinkling keyboards — the debut album from Soft Swells feels like a pep talk from a old friend. It's full of polite but candid imperatives. "Say It Like You Mean It." "Put It on the Line." "Shake It Off." "Never Leave Home." "Make It Go Away." Songwriter Tim Williams has obviously given a lot of thought to what is righteous and true, introspection likely triggered by his move to Los Angeles from New York in 2009 after open-heart surgery. Williams' three previous solo albums were fine singer-songwriter meditations, [...]
"Every Little Thing" by Soft Swells packs a lot of punch.
Download: Julian Stephen "University of Julian 23 Mixtape Queens buzzmaker Julian Stephen has joined forces with The DJBooth and Rocksmith Clothing to bring fans his latest street release, the University of Julian 2 mixtape. Hosted by DJ Zeke, the project offers fans a glimpse into the life of a self-proclaimed “ultimate underdog” as he strives to make his way in the music game. Included among the project’s 17 tracks are reader-approved, Booth-premiered leaks “Silly Faces” and “Ignorant.” Joining Stephen on the guest tip throughout University of [...]
"Every Little Thing," the first single from Soft Swells , is a tight, tuneful day-brightener that bleeds optimism with every echoing chord, percussive jab and twinkling key. Funny, then, that the video for the song counterposes its sunny disposition against the overheated despair of the Salton Sea, but the desert does breed its own kind of hope. And who couldn't use some reassurances that "Every little thing's / gonna be all right / Every little wound's / gonna heal up tight"? The song, now available as a 7-inch (b/w "Lifeboats") on Modern Outsider Records , is the brainchild [...]
But that's the name of the band's new song - "The Conqueror." It's now streaming on Fit for an Autopsy's Facebook page, assuming you're willing to click the "like" button, which you should be, 'cause this band is br00tal, and you like br00tal things. In case you didn't read about Fit for an Autopsy the [...]
This past December we gave you the heads up that Guy Kozowyk’s Black Market Activities had signed Fit for an Autopsy, the actually good deathcore band that features fromer Through the Eyes of the Dead vocalist Nate Johnson and guitarist Will Putney, who has already produced such killer records as The Human Abstract's Digital Veil. Now [...]
![[Listen] Tim William - "Clouds" Feat. D.A. Wallach (of Chester French)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3321306_lg.jpg)
Kidz In The hall/Gym Class Heroes keyboardist Tim William debuted a new track earlier titled "Clouds" featuring D.A. of Chester French. Not much detail given on this new track, but we assume that it will appear on William's sophomore effort sometime this year. Check it out after the jump.
Soft Swells, whose new single we premiered on Wednesday , has been added to the bill for Buzz Bands LA's show next Tuesday at the Satellite. The new project from singer-songwriter Tim Williams will play the late set, replacing Hot As Sun , who were forced to cancel because Jamie Jackson is recovering from a bout with pneumonia. Army Navy (watch this space Monday for details about the L.A. quartet's new album) headlines, and Sing the Body Electric and A House for Lions open. Tickets available [...]
In 2009, after three releases for Dovecote Records and one open-heart surgery, Tim Williams was ready to turn the page. He moved from Brooklyn to a strange, strange land, Los Angeles. "I needed to get out of New York and come to a place where I didn't know anyone," he says. "Sometimes you have to go to a place where you don't know the streets, the people, the cool bars, the good record stores ... I like to throw myself out there, and this has been a great place to recharge." The [...]

For a few months I've been haunted by the Tim Williams' track 'I Hit Another Wall'. Its gentle melody possesses a slightly hypnotic quality that the troubadour to shine The Brooklyn native uprooted and moved to LA to find a new perspective. Instead... he found love resulting in a new set of introspective songs which he recorded [...]
“As the sun appeared over the eastern horizon, a man arrived from over the seas, carrying a box made of metal. The man looked over the praying people with a wordless smile, … then began circling the tower.” Where we came from It doesn’t matter that game designer Suda 51 has probably never met retired game designer Shigesato Itoi . It would be nice if they met. Itoi a real-life copy editor, Suda one in spirit, they consider words and pictures and sounds and thoughts to [...]
If you're looking for the perfect soundtrack to the dark cold days of winter ahead of us look no further then Tim Williams' latest release Careful Love , a record that is loaded with melancholy songs detailing the fragile nature of our lives. It's a deep, touching piece of work that should certainly challenge for spots on many year end lists, and one that continues to build the style and scope of Williams' music as he becomes a better and more refined songwriter. Tim was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to provide us with [...]
