"On most of the tracks, after the nervous strum of the guitar sounds, you’d almost expect Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley or Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge to break out singing about crashing a house party or brushing up against a crush’s lo cker." Best Coast - The Only Place (2012) 4.0/10 Mexican Summer « When I’m with you » had the record player scratchiness that a picture would have being bleached by Californian sun, bringing to mind a dog-eared portrait of laughing youngsters with just enough candidness so as not to fall into to prepubescent teen-pop and conjure up a kind of universal nostalgia of summers past – conveying [...]
"Another delightful effort centered on failed relationships and longing for the beaches of California..." Best Coast | The Only Place Best Coast’s 2010 debut album, Crazy for You , was the type of record that made a person feel like going to the beach to dance at a luau under a palm tree. Their breezy tunes, indebted equally to the melodies of The Beach Boys and the guitar fuzz of lo-fi indie , provided the listener with fun hooks and served as a very effective summer soundtrack. Their new album, The Only [...]

Shimby Presents: Live at the Empty Bottle works as more than just a live album. Recorded by local musician and music archivist Shimby McCreery , it's an audial snapshot of tweener Chicago, which has taken stock in thrashy garage rock that sometimes is played with a metallic fierceness and others a near quirky looseness. But perhaps more importantly, the record seamless integrates local favorites with popular indie buzz acts proving that Chicago knows what's up. Near the record's mid-section, the [...]
Best Coast's The Only Place is fast becoming one of the most hotly-anticipated records of the year. This, its first single and title track will do nothing to change that. It's a cleaner, ever-so-slightly poppier take on the fuzz-rock of their debut, with more rounded, shinier production. If that sounds bad, don't worry, it's great. It will be interesting whether or not the album will handle the expectation vs. delivery conundrum that has stumped so many second albums before it. So far though, so very good. The Only [...]
Gone are the days when I used to spend me lunch-hours dropping into a booty bear call near me place of work. Now are the days when I lunch at me desk and get excited by the BEST COAST announcing that their sophobore long_one, THE ONLY PLACE , is set to come in your ears come May 15 2012. Her tracklist will be : 1. The Only Place 2. Why I Cry 3. Last Year 4. My Life 5. No One Like You 6. How They Want Me to Be 7. Better [...]
Tweet A quick update on the music news for the week before I get started: The Righteous Brothers ' cover of "Unchained Melody" is on jukeboxes everywhere; anticipation for The Beatles ' up-coming album "Help!" is reaching fever pitch; and The Ronettes ' latest, "Is This What I Get For Loving You?", has flopped, rather embarrassingly. That's right: it's 1965. Relax, you've not really gone back in time. But there are moments on El Paso-fivesome The Royalty 's self-titled debut [...]
Album number three is only five days away for this Brighton fire-startin', sample-lovin', Indie-Pop meets Electronic Hip-Hop-Danceabilly-rockin' ensemble otherwise known as The Go! Team . Back in October they released the first single from the album "T.O.R.N.A.D.O." , then they released the video for it and that's it so far, but a couple of months of no new music is all made better by having the entire album to listen to for free! Having gone through it myself I can safely say that if you're a fan of their previous albums you're gonna love [...]
So as 2010 winds to a close (not before Xmas/my birthday!!) and 2011 comes into view it's time for the old blogaroo to name the best albums of the year. Here goes. 13. Massive Attack - Heligoland This one kinda came out of left field for me. Paid absolutely fuck all attention to it around the release date and it probably would've slid under the rug were it not for True Blood using one of the songs from it ('Paradise Circus') in a key scene . I had to [...]
Review/Listen – Best Coast – “The Only Place”
When this album leaked, many Best Coast fans began a roller-coaster journey that I was able to witness while trying my hardest to get a hold of a physical copy. The first step was to ostensibly scream about the album while leaving a trail of download links and photos of vocalist/guitarist Bethany Cosentino and lead guitarist Bobb Bruno everywhere. This intense jubilation was followed by what I consider to be the biggest pivot from child-like delight to intense frustration and anger towards [...]

[Album Review/Listen] – Radical Dads – “Mega Rama”
Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - MP3 | CD Radical Dads don’t have the greatest band name, which sounds like something those midlife crisis dads who still have instruments lying around their house that they barely play would call themselves when set up in a garage. Lindsay Baker, Chris Diken, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah ’s Robbie Guertin have something completely different in mind with debut album"Mega Rama", [...]

Seapony continues to give us Summer ridden tracks that we're surely not complaining about. "Where We Go" is the latest single from there debut Lp "Go With Me." Visuals are above.
[Watch] – Four New Videos By The Go! Team
Yeah you read that right, four new videos by The Go! Team. That's four over the course of a few days which is fucking impressive/insane/awesome. Maybe they're doing what others have done with special releases of their albums and included a DVD with videos for each of their songs. Usually they're more visual accompaniments as opposed to the regular kinda music video, but The Go! Team have gone full shit on this one. It was only yesterday that I posted their entire new album "Rolling Blackouts" for you to listen to so if you can't get [...]

Video: Best Coast - "Crazy For You"
Cats and kitties and catnip and video directors oh my!

We've preferred Bethany Cosentino's act over her [...]
