Song of the Day #40: FayRoy – “I Had that Feeling Myself”

fayroy I had that feeling myself 2013 single lp

Today we’re introducing FAYROY, a surfy, folksy trio from San Francisco, California. About two years ago the band relocated from their home in Tampa, Florida to play more shows and focus on recording an album. Now in 2013 they’re seeing their ideas come to life. The band is currently finishing up their debut record which will be released this July, followed by a tour of both US coasts to support the album later this summer. They currently have two singles from their album featured on their Bandcamp. “I Had that Feeling Myself” shows off their twangy surf guitars, swirled by a palpable humid atmosphere as the waves wash up on the beach. It’s generally instrumental save for the lone chant “I had that feeling myself,” leading us through the murky surf with slithering guitars for a truly hypnotizing affair. It’s one you’re not going to want to miss, so get on board now and sit tight for their upcoming album. The band begins touring on July 6th in San Francisco at 50 Mason Social House, so you better be there to give them a proper send off! Keep an eye on their website for more tour dates and album details!

Song of the Day #39: Pedico – “You Can’t Get AIDS If You Never Get Tested”

pedico can't get aids 2013 song of the day 39

PEDICO is a three-piece punk band from New York City. They’re currently hard at work putting the finishing touches on their first EP which will be titled The Days Are Just Packed. There’s no set release date, but the band has delivered a slew of songs and a couple of videos that are sure to offend you in multiple ways (not to mention, get you ready for their upcoming EP). “You Can’t Get AIDS If You Never Get Tested” could very well be the biggest culprit of them all, but with other track titles like “My Girlfriend’s Black (And There’s Gonna Be Trouble)” or “White Bread in Puerto Rico”, you’re almost bound to find something personally nauseating – and of course by nauseating, we mean totally awesome. “You Can’t Get AIDS If You Never Get Tested” is a straight-up punk rock stomper, driven by shredded guitars and a punchy rhythm for an overall simplistic and infectious sound. If you never thought “You Can’t Get AIDS If You Never Get Tested” would work out to be such an anthemic sing-along, then you better think again. Listen below, right now.
