We once said, " Sporting a 90's guitar-rawk aesthetic that falls somewhere between Pavement and Dino Jr, replete with Lithium-affected vocals and a wry sense of humor, [Sleeping Bag] seemingly cranks out tunes like Slime without breaking a sweat ." You can now visualize that statement with the band's new video for the track. Told ya. We were spot on, eh? Need another endorsement? Founding member of Secretly Canadian Records, Chris Swanson, is hanging on that rooftop. Tell me that bro doesn't know good tunes when he hears them?! [...]
Opening with 'Slime', Sleeping Bag's debut seems to have a touch of old-school Weezer about it. There's a slacker vibe running here too – the words from frontman Dave Segedy are hardly brimming with enthusiasm. The three-piece from Indiana keep it simple – a big, bold electric guitar, chunky drums and able bass is all they need for some simple exertions into the school of alt-rock. The basic set-up works for them. 'Giddy up' is delivered by Sedgy over and over with a staccato guitar working with the singer/drummer. 'Slime' had the 'Slime' line harmonised in a quick [...]

Tim Kinsella, the only permanent member of Chicago's Joan of Arc , has been cranking out his own eclectic brand of math pop since the mid-90s. He and his ever-changing back-up band recently joined Laundromatinee.com at Lovebird Recording Studios , delivering a crisp, punctuated session, featuring the songs 'Love Life' and 'What Whorse You Wrote Id On.' 'Love Life' is awash in precise guitar lines, a trademark of Joan of Arc . Melodic layers sweep through, straying the song away from a typical prog-rock jaunt by evening out the sounds of [...]

Even better is that the box set will be housed in a custom wooden box, screen-printed, hand-numbered and limited to 100 copies. Being that [...]

MP3: Marmoset - Peach Cobbler Marmoset may be one of the coolest, greatest bands ever. Seriously, the world has robbed them of the credit and riches deserved to a group who constantly delivers music of the highest caliber. As us fans do before every record, we pray that whatever newest effort they are releasing (the beyond excellent "Tea Tornado" in this case) will be the one that catches on. Fingers crossed this time. What you have here is 14 songs of smart, wispy rock and roll that is audibly [...]
Subscription Feeds: New Song Daily Only | All Podcasts E-mail Comments: phill[at]thephiller[dot]com Hermit Thrushes "Push" from Slight Fountain ( Joyful Noise Recordings ) Release Date: June 23, 2009
The things that most folks are going to hone in on when listening to (or commenting on if you're in the 40% of the population that has a music blog) Hermit Thrushes' sophomore release (out June 23 on Joyful Noise) are the weirder bits: the dissonance, sharply angular guitar sounds, odd stops and starts, occasional free jazz solo, impressionistic and scattershot lyrical content, wildly disorganized and chaotic acoustic soundscapes and, perhaps most strikingly, the ten seconds of a field recording of cats mewling. All of that stuff is in here and I don't think you'll hear anyone denying that this [...]
As mentioned on New Song Daily #301 , Joyful Noise Recordings had some big news last week with their signing of long running Indianapolis band, Marmoset .

Set for an August 4, 2009 release, the band is currently planning a tour of the Midwest and East Coast and those tentative dates are below. [...]
