If a song with a name like “They Should Have Killed You” is the first track of an album by a band called BUCK BILOXI AND THE FUCKS, you should immediately be aware of what you’re getting yourself into. After releasing a handful of 7″ singles over the last year or so, the Fucks got their act together just enough to put out an LP on Germany’s Red Lounge Records.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, ROSS DE CHENE HURRICANES (ross-duh-shane-hurrah-caynes) are preparing to release their debut LP. The album comes hot off the heels of their previously self-released 7″ The Jailbird, which boasted a fuzzy mixture of punk, psych and pop. “Personality Disorder” is the lead single from their upcoming album, which channels all those genres into one giant thud. Jagged guitars and scuzzy vocals charge at a steady pace, held together by pounding percussion and a twangy, can-opening guitar solo. There’s a thin layer of kaleidoscopic synth waves spread over the track, wrapping things up in one sweeping motion. That’s all we have of their upcoming LP for now, but the tracks from their previous single – some of which are streaming below – will certainly hold you over. Now get listening!

VAADAT CHARIGIM (which translates to “Exceptions Committee” in Hebrew) is a trio based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Their brand new debut record The World is Well Lost was first released on cassette by Burger Records in 2013. Now it’s coming on vinyl format from the folks at Warm Ratio, which goes hand-in-hand with their Spring tour of the United States later this month. The tour leads them right to their record release show on March 17th in Indianapolis, not to mention multiple dates in New York City and a SXSW appearance.
“Ze Beseder Lefahed” is arguably a highlight from their album, taking nods from 80s underground Israeli rock mixed with hazy streaks of ethereal shoegaze. Juval Haring’s voice is breathy and direct, carving a path through the thick vapor along with a wave of colorful guitars. Springy bass lines rumble deep in the distance, bringing all these elements together in a sweeping motion. There’s a sense of warmth sustained throughout the track, which you can hear right below.
