If you heard Mikey & the Drags on your friend's stereo, you'd assume it was a killer record she had snagged from her mom's collection of 60s garage rock vinyl. But it turns out these guys - based out of Houston, TX - are making music in 2013. And that's a great thing because it means you can expect more great music from them in the future. They recently released a 73 which you can grab over at their bandcamp . And you need to take advantage of that, [...]
Garage rock as a genre has witnessed extensive transformations since its inception a half-century ago. From the rebellious lyrics of MC5 to the speed and attitude of The Ramones to popular music’s most recent reincarnation in the music of The Black Keys, garage rock has dipped its toes into a multitude of other genres as decades of musical trends and styles have come and gone. At its core, the genre remains dedicated to the theme of carefree accessibility: anyone with an instrument and a band of friends can have their say, so long as their message is interesting and they [...]

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 [...]

Pig Welt // Root Porno Sometimes I don’t think people realize just how much music passes through music bloggers’ hands. I get it from my email inbox (good Lord, you don’t even wanna know), on Tumblr, on Twitter , even on Facebook . That being said, I’m not complaining. I put myself in this position and it’s one that I’m happy to be in. It just gets a tad overwhelming every once in a while. All that serves to make it that much harder for artists to stand out in a crowd [...]

The local artist of the week feature is typically reserved for bands that have an established following and are on the cusp of making it big on a national level. Instead, today I wanted to bring forth a group that is incredibly new but within their songs you can find signs of a bright musical future. The Karma Kicks are a rock trio out of St. Paul made up of Andy Arvidson, Dave Abbot, and Andy Vogl. Their official formation came in 2012 but they've been friends for the better part of a decade. They [...]

Krautrock and the music of mid-sized car commercials collide on the latest cut from San Francisco garage rocker Ty Segall, the looping, mesmerizing "Music for a Film 1." Brushing aside the conventional blues dispensations of other fuzz wizards like Jack White, Segall aims for something more eastern block and dreamlike. "Music for a Film 13 isn't the most innovative thing we've heard from Segall, but it does a good job of capturing the listener in its monumental, repetitive snare and refusing to let go.

Sonnyskyes (VS) ::: Facebook / Home ::: The Imaginary Friend Ship ::: Label ::: The Imaginary Friend Ship is een onverwacht lekker plaatje van Sonnyskyes uit Long Beach. Het album van deze 'lofi meteorologist rockstar' telt tien nummers en staat vol met aanstekelijke, door de sixties geïnspireerde, gruizig, lofi rock, maar zeker een aanrader! Meer lezen »

Singer/Guitarist John Galm has freed himself from his emo roots and has gravitated towards the dark and sleazy side of garage rock with his new band Slow Warm Death . Galm, the former front man of Snowings and Street Smart Cyclist, has always favored sounds from the 50s and 60s but was inspired by recent recordings from Jay Reatard, The Oh Sees, and Ty Segall which led him to discovering older material from The Oblivians and The Mummies. This long string of lo-fi, fuzz-laced garage rock influences has been spun into a web [...]

Hello friends, we’re Aztec Birds, a psychedelic rock and roll band hailing from the north east of England. We spend most of our time writing groovy tunes and scraping together cash so we can practice and record. We’ve just released an EP called ‘Acid Love’ with 2 songs on that we’re pretty happy with, you can listen to them on www.soundcloud.com/aztecbirds , but that’s only if you want to, we’re not into making you do things against your will. They’re pretty good though, so we recommend it. We’ve got some gigs coming up in May and June around [...]

Who today listens to just domestic music? With Australia cranking out catchy indie rock tunes and the U.K. turning out its usual steady stream of musical exports, exotic music is on the rise. However, with such easy access to foreign and domestic music, it is sometimes difficult to sift through all of the bands and new tracks. This calls for a musical Sacagawea. Here are some new songs that will hopefully ease your way through the unfamiliar music territory. 1. “On Fire” by Loon Lake- Australia Australia is just booming with amazing [...]

What's not to like about Velociraptor ? Not only are we fans of their party-starting, beach-ready garage rock, but this Brisbane outfit is comprised of not three, not five...but twelve Aussies. Yes, TWELVE. We can't help but feel like that's the coolest thing ever. Velociraptor: you are hereby certified rad. Strap on your swimming shorts and stream their track "Walk On By" below. "Walk On By" comes off Velociraptor's self-titled EP, which comes out May 20th via Heart Throb Records . STREAM: Velociraptor - "Walk On By"

I'm digging this new EP from Bournemouth, UK based garage punk quintet KLLR. Fusing fast-paced punk vibes with crunchy garage riffs and sleazy vocals, KLLR's debut EP sounds like a synthesis of Ty Segall and Mudhoney's best moments. It's a gnarly unveiling that never stops giving, whether it be explosive punk-fueled energy ( High Times, White Shoes ), greasy yet infectious grunge noise (Shake Them Bones, 40ft Monster, Flesh ), or slime-ball stoner stomps ( Sleeping With the Dogs ), KLLR [...]
Nothing new: garage music is back and grunge too! Quite possible that this year's summer soundtracks will come from these scenes. They might even be quite psychedelic. Sunny days, psychedelic nightmares and massive parties. Now the British band THE WYTCHES announced the release of their new single Beehive Queen and bring today's "Sound Of The The post Day: The Wytches - "Beehive Queen" appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

The Glockenwise, banda nacional oriunda de Barcelos, continua a afirmar-se no mercado alternativo português. Depois do álbum de estreia, 'Building Waves', a passagem por alguns festivais de nome em Portugal, gigs europeus e sobretudo muito trabalho, a banda regressa aos discos em 2013 para afirmar cada vez mais a sua pitada indie-garage-punk-lo-fi-rock com o álbum 'Leeches'.

"The live show of Honningbarna is hailed to be one of the most thrilling in Norway. Musically, and on record they kick just as hard. The songs have the flare of revolution frenzy, bringing to mind the likes of 'The Bronx', 'The Hives' and 'Fucked Up'. No wonder perhaps, that Swedish producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt, also collaborator with The Hives and Refused for many years, is overseeing the birth of Honningbarna's second album, which will be released in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, UK and Ireland this year, it’s all been happening so quickly. Just three months after releasing their [...]
