All the reviews, all the music, all the formats.
Thanks to the folks over at Telephone Explosion Records, we now have this shining gem of a 7″. Two brand new tracks, created together by members from bands like The Shins, Intelligence, and Old Haunts, amongst others. Continue reading “Puberty – Invitations 7″”
The Dodos took a year off in-between their last two albums and made a few changes in the meantime. The vibraphonist is no longer part of the mix, although he still lends his talents to the album, but the Dodos went back to their original spastic formula this time around. Continue reading “The Dodos – No Color”
For their fifth official release, Shit Music for Shit People looked towards the caffeinated power pop of Italian garage rockers LOVE BOAT. This trio originated in Sardinia back in 2006, surrounded by countless friends and endless supplies of beer at their bathroom shows, and this is where they ended up. Continue reading “Love Boat – Sliding Deck 7″”
By now you may have heard MI AMI figuratively traded in their past ways for a whole new lifestyle – the approach from “Steal Your Face” and everything prior is now a thing of the past. Their new sound was first illustrated on the “Ital’s Theme” 12″ we covered, only things seem a bit more experimental this time around. Continue reading “Mi Ami – Dolphins”
I’m totally ashamed of myself for taking this long to discover the charming sound that is THE LIMIÑANAS, but sometimes these things just slip through the cracks. This new 7″ is their first release of the new year, and hopefully not the last. Continue reading “The Limiñanas – AF3458 7″”
By now I feel like most of you are familiar with The Beets. They just released their sophomore album “Stay Home”, and now they’re back again with a 7″ featuring two new and original songs, courtesy of Captured Tracks. Continue reading “The Beets – Time Brought Age 7″”
Here’s one you could say came out of nowhere. I’m not even sure exactly what label released it. Was it Rough Trade or maybe even Toyota? In the long run it doesn’t really even matter, because now we get a brand new song apiece from both NATURAL CHILD and THE STRANGE BOYS. Continue reading “The Strange Boys/ Natural Child – Scion Split 7″”
This 7″ here is THE MANTLES debut European release, coming from SDZ Records in France. It features two brand new tracks, which are both overflowing with enough positive vibes to keep you smiling for days. Continue reading “The Mantles – Raspberry Thighs 7″”
Add another band to the list that’s awesome and comes from Texas (which is where we should all be at some point this week). WOMEN IN PRISON just released their debut 7″ from Hozac Records, and it’s a face-beating kick in the ass of raging punk that will throw you down and continue to kick you while you’re helplessly on the ground. Continue reading “Women in Prison – Strange Waves 7″”
ESTROGEN HIGHS are from Connecticut. This is their first release of the new year, coming from the Safety Meeting Records imprint in a limited edition of just 300. But you must proceed with caution here, because just calling these guys “catchy” might be an understatement. Continue reading “Estrogen Highs – Cycles EP”
