"Without Your Heart" is a step back to a more nostalgic sound (the 50's) for Total Babes - yeah, they can play some fast paced garage rock - but they can also change it up with a beautiful ballad sprinkled with reverb and twinkling guitars. Their debut album, Swimming Through Sunlight , is available now - it's short and sweet and worth the listen if you love yourself some poppy garage jams…I sure as hell do. Pick up "Without Your Heart" and "Like They Always Do" below. You can purchase it via Old Flame Records . [...]

Medina (Cleveland), Ohio's Total Babes recently released Swimming Through Sunlight on Old Flame Records. The band, which contains Jayson Gerycz and Joe Boyer of the indie rock success Cloud Nothings, makes a fuzzy garage rock-infused with jump-and-shout pop/punk hooks. When news broke across the internet, mid-this year, the band was often called a "Cloud Nothings side project," but Dylan Baldi is not in the band, which is big-brained by Gerycz, who usually plays drums in Cloud Nothings. Brand it however you'd like, fans of aggressive [...]

Total Babes Swimming Through Sunlight Continental Mind/Old Flame Records [2011] Fire Note Says: Total Babes let the lo- fi rock fly - Cleveland style! Album Review: You can't go wrong with some good lo- fi rock n roll and that is exactly what you get from Cleavland, Ohio's Total Babes. The group consists of Chris Brown, Gary Spolarich and [...]
A side project of sorts from two members of Cloud Nothings, the Ohio-based Total Babes emit a catchy punk/pop vibe with their debut LP, Swimming Through Sunlight (Old Flame). Funny that such perky music comes out of Cleveland, home of rusty belts, unforgiving winters and the Browns. Single "Be So True" is loose and bouncy, like a [...]
Tweetvaso link The advance copy of Cleveland lo-fi four piece Total Babes' new album, Swimming Through Sunlight, got sent around to discerning bloggers back in the middle of August, which was surprising for me because I hadn't even listened to the first two songs they released from it, obviously rendering me something closer to non-discerning. ...
While this week's Best New Releases singles mix is smaller than most other BNR posts this year, it's chock full of fantastic songs from freshly minted albums that we recommend, especially for the first six or seven bands in this mix.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars When press first came out for Total Babes , a lot of attention was given to the fact that it featured a member of Cloud Nothings , and to a certain extent, that's a fair association, as the similarities are definitely visible. However, Swimming Through Sunlight , the band's debut on Old Flame Record s isn't just a re-imagining; it stand up on its own merit. If [...]

The extensive list below contains the names of several can't-miss bands, which hopefully will add some spice to our post Hurricane Irene lives. First off, Beirut returns with Rip Tide . We can't say enough good things about this full-circle, instrumentally sound group (shown above). The entire album might not strike every heartstring, yet that's here nor there. Tame Impala could be one of the most interesting bands were have come across in a while. The Western Australia guys combine a classic psychedelic tone with a youthful playfulness. Innerspeaker [...]

[mp3] Total Babes: "Be So True" We're back in action after a whirlwind tour of LA which found us in TV and recording studios, beach bonfires, desert hills, and scenery brunch locales. Yet, after all that it's great to be back amongst our beer-swilling, snarky, non-driving New York brethren. So on our walk to work this morning, with a fresh cup of Mud, this little gem came on to really sweeten the deal. Total Babes ' Swimming Through Sunlight drops next week courtesy of the great folks at Old [...]

While letting that one brew, we caught wind of Atlanta-based "Turf War" via Aquarium Drunkard . In September, Turf War will be releasing Years of Living Dangerously , and "Cheers to the Years" is one of the best straight-laced rock n' roll jams I've heard all year. Like a bag of potato chips, [...]
