Aliment is a garage punk trio from Spain that caught my ear with their brand new album, Holy Slap . The album has a frantic yet melodic vibe that sounds like Wavves and Circle Jerks colliding together in a pool of sweat. Oakland's Slop Bop Records , the label that put out the limited edition cassette, dub it party punk, and it definitely incites that feeling inside of you from start to finish. It's a quick listen but every track is driving, anthemic, and begs for repeat spins. It's already one of my favorite [...]
Nashville six piece Diarrhea Planet plug in four guitarists to form their explosive garage punk-charged brand of rock and roll. The outcome has made them one of the most buzzed about bands around the blogosphere, as well as one of the most touted live bands touring the US today. Later this summer, DP will release their sophomore album, I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams , through Infinity Cat Recordings. Separations is the first single from the album and features a more full-bodied and polished pop sound compared to what we heard on [...]
The prolific Fullerton, California based label Burger Records are readying the solo album of one of their most touted artists in Wyatt Blair , member of Feeding People, Peach Kelli Pop, Cosmonauts, Mr. Elevator & The Brain Hotel , and more. Wyatt's debut solo album entitled Banana Cream Dream will be available digitally and on cassette tomorrow (May 22nd) and features the addicting power pop hits Sweet Operator (Talkin' on the Telephone) and Ba Ba Ba (Life's A Bitch) available as a [...]
Arcade Fire label-mate shows annoying "Canucks" how shit GETS DONE! Merge, 2013 8.4 / 10.0 Mikal Cronin may not have the reckless, three-LPs-in-one-year abandon of his Bay area garage rock colleague Ty Segall,...
The Skywalkers - Lord Can You Hear Us? This isn’t a new one. When you press play you might believe that it’s a 60’s lost, rare jam! Actually, this Netherlands based duo released only one album 3 years ago and that’s it. After that came the complete slilence. When i’ve first heard it a couple days ago i felt all these thrills climbing up my body and slowly digged with methodic moves a tunnel through me! Raw in production, farfisa bulding melodies, psych pop in the most original term and absolutely [...]
I’ve always wondered why so many people turn up to a gig an hour or two after the venue opens its doors; if I took this approach, I’d have never heard some of my favorite bands. For example, the first time I heard Cork-based The Altered Hours was downstairs in the Roisín Dubh, where they were playing a support slot for O Emperor. I didn’t know any of the bands playing that night, but I left feeling quite satisfied with the night’s outcome. However, had I arrived an hour or two later, just before the headlining act took to the [...]
If you don't believe Brooklyn quartet The Great American Novel are perfect purveyors of propulsive pop, just allow yourself one spin of their new single, My Body Is Dumb , and shut the fuck up. My Body is Dumb by The Great American Novel Blanketed in animated guitars, danceable rhythms, jaunty tickles of the ivory, and an addicting woo-hoo-hoo-hoo smothered chorus, My Body Is Dumb serves as a caricature of growing up as Layne Montgomery's musings on aging implodes into the catchiest form of catharsis I've [...]
This one’s turning out to be my favourite song on the Calvin sisters debut album. It’s one of those garage pop songs that just gets better and better the more you listen to it. Give a spin to Dead In Your Head by Bleached below and see if it works for you as well.

Artwork por Kevin Boehner Sintiéndome algo decepcionado porque este nuevo release no fue una continuación como tal del eufórico bedroom rock visto en Fort Worthless , aún se rescata lo bueno del pop en sus versiones allegadas al folk/lo-fi que dan cuatro temas para ponerse al tiro con los calores infernales que azotan la ciudad. "Korean Girlfriend " debe de ser la mejor canción que tiene este EP, temiendo un poco en decir que de las que hasta este momento le conozco a Dylan Ewen ; es desvergonzada, verdadera y no sé si [...]
If you're a sports fan, and in Chicago it's damn near impossible not to be, then you probably know that tonight the mighty Chicago Bulls face the evil Miami Heat in game two of the eastern conference semifinals. Not only are the Bulls up a game on the star-studded and last year's champs Miami Heat in this best of seven series, but they beat the woeful Brooklyn (lol) Nets in the first round of the playoffs. For the Bulls, this is a pretty impressive [...]
A bittersweet summer jam full of longing and nostalgia, ‘All I Wanna Do’ is the first taste of Comfort , the debut album from Splashh due for release via Luv Luv Luv Records on June 3rd. Twisting breezy, sugar-coated riffs around singer Sasha Carlson’s daydreams of lazy days and better times, it’s as idyllic and paradisiacal as it is heavy-hearted and forlorn; a song with unrivalled powers of simultaneous intoxication and dejection. [...]
Faced with the yuppie invasion in their hometown, London's Fat White Family strive to wreak more havoc and deliver something real to their surroundings. Their highly anticipated debut album Champagne Holocaust , released April 1st on Trashmouth Records , does just that as the gap-toothed hoodlums shock and scintillate over eleven psych-trashed gems. Compared to "early Liars, smacky Butthole Surfers, and The Cramps" and called a "debauched, modern day Velvet Underground," Fat White Family delves out tunes perfect for society's discards to parade around [...]
Midnight Bruisers ' new self titled cassette released by EveryDayIsAMixtape is a short, spastic blast of pure garage punk energy. Members of Clippers, Lube, Sneeze, and No Fun form like Voltron to bang out six skronky tunes in nine minutes . Things really begin to get good at As I Fade Out and beyond as they crank up the catchy pop vibes even more. As I Fade Out As I Fade Out by Midnight Bruisers The album is available [...]

I started listening to this album stream the other night on The Needle Drop and loved everything I heard. Bromheads are a Sheffield, UK based garage pop two-piece with a deep admiration for 50s garage rock. Their new album, Choro , is set to release on April 15th and features a more raw and organic vibe than previous efforts. "We wanted to capture that excitement you get in the practice room when you first play a song [...]
