The Growlers combine garage-surf vibes with delightful psychedelicness- it's a sweet sound. This Dana Point, California five-piece have just released their latest album Hung at Heart . We wanted to find out a little more about the band, so The Growlers' vocalist Brooks Nielsen took the time to chat about being stung by bees while playing, Someday , and what they were doing before The Growlers began! AMBY: How would you describe The Growlers' sound to those unfamiliar with your music? The Growlers: [...]

Mexican duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete are one of the most exciting psych / dream pop acts in the world right now. Big statement but take a listen to either of their LPs and see if you disagree! ' The December Riots ' comes from their sophomore album 'Corruptible Faces' (available now through Captcha Records ). Brilliant! Lorelle Meets The Obsolete - 'The December Riots' [...]

After hearing " Popular Music " and " Sky Light [InBetween] ", it's pretty much safe to say "Notes back" like Roshin just did. While discussing a video treatment for "Sky Light" with Bronze One, director Benjamin Young Heart (see " All Of The Above ") was asked if he would be able to read to his little sister's class. From that session, Benjamin and Bronze went through a couple of bowls of pho and came up with this video. It centers on a trip to Toronto's Centre Island with 9-year olds, where there's running, jumping and dancing all [...]

Notes to Self will be releasing their sophomore effort, Target Market [RECOIL] , Feb. 26 on Decon Records and to keep us interested, the crew dropped a brand-new single produced by Bronze One. With last week's " Popular Music " and this week's "Sky Light [InBetween]", this album is definitely shaping up nicely. Recorded shortly after the crew dropped their debut, A Shot In The Dark , and wrapped up a tour with DJ Babu , "Sky Light [InBetween]" is a good indicator of where the guys were at the time and their hopes for the future. [...]

Moving on from all the 73s that have been covered on these pages lately, here's a 103 EP from EbM favourites Withered Hand . While the last WH release - the Heart Heart 73 that came out in Feb. - represented a new direction for Dan Wilson's project, Inbetweens is more representative of Withered Hand's general sound. What I've always loved about WH, and which was perhaps slightly lacking in Heart Heart , is his ability to take the generic setup of acoustic guitar and crackly [...]
Shoegaze, dream pop hybrid Young Prisms have released a new video for their song, “Midnight’s When”, off their album, In Between. Watch the video after the jump. Young Prisms Tour Dates 10/28 – Kilby Court - Salt Lake City, UT 10/29 – Hi Dive – Denver, CO [...]
The Inbetweeners – The Complete Series (DVD) It’s hard to image The Inbetweeners – the teen-centered British sitcom – getting a fair chance with U.S. audience thanks to a prudish attitude towards sex here. Violence? Bring it on; teens joking about getting blow jobs? Oh hell no, we’re Americans. Thanks to its unflinchingly bold humor and Porky’s-level raunchiness, you’d be hard pressed [...]

I'm always dubious when British TV shows (and in particular sit-coms) get bought up by US TV production companies and re-made. The Inbetweener s is the latest UK hit to get the US makeover treatment and a trailer for the show has recently made it onto YouTube . I checked it out earlier today and whilst it's not quite as terrible as it could be, the trailer still leaves me thinking 'why?' - check out the trailer by clicking here - I would embed [...]

San Francisco's Young Prisms have released their new record ' In Between ' featuring the album cuts 'Better Days' and 'Runner' (via Kanine Records ). Since their debut record 'Friends For Now', Young Prisms have swapped a band member and let the frenetic psych rock sound mellow a little. After the release of the single 'Four Hours (Away) ' earlier in the year, it was clear that 'In Between' would be a departure of sorts. But after one listen through, it's clear that the change was for the best. This is a more considered, mature and better [...]

[photo courtesy of Bleary Eyed Brooklyn ] One of the rewarding aspects of witnessing a band live for the first time is the recognition that despite youthfulness, the artists understand what has come before. Young Prisms are aptly named - the band members are in their early 202s, but could pass for high school kids. But as soon as the instruments are plugged in and the first song is counted in, they age immediately. The San Francisco natives play psych-rock as if they were born in the 60s and they play it with confidence and [...]
