Song of the Day #11

Well this one just seemed too appropriate for today. NATURAL CHILD release their brand new, debut full length to the world, and on what better day than 4/20? Follow that link for a nice preview of the album, but if you’re unfamiliar please stick around and listen to this one we got here. It comes from their first 7″ on the Infinity Cat label and it’s a hell of an opening statement. How many times have you heard a concept like this turned into a fist-in-air anthem? Probably not even once (but if I’m wrong please enlighten me). They blend hilarity with garage rock and walk the line like champs, almost as if they drew it themselves. However, if anything is true, it’s that this 7″ is one of the most solid and satisfying I’ve ever spun on my turntable.

The Prefab Messiahs – Franz Kafka 7″

Believe it or not, this PREFAB MESSIAHS 7″ contains songs that were originally penned back in 1982. They have been uncovered from their original Wormtown Recordings home and somehow magically fit right into what we’re usually focusing on around here.

Bozmo – Golden Feeling

HAPPY RECORD STORE DAY! Bo from BOZMO sent over this single for our consideration, and we’re glad he decided to do that. These dudes hail from Boston in the thick of all the goodness that’s brewing up there and they seem to be onto something with their vigorous pop-punk. Continue reading “Bozmo – Golden Feeling” →

Krang – Speed of Tent 7″

KRANG is made up of four dudes from Edmonton. Their combination of musical talents together creates a psychedelic sweat lodge of insanity that will most certainly tear you a brand new asshole. Continue reading “Krang – Speed of Tent 7″” →

Girlfriends – Cave Kids 7″

Boston’s own GIRLFRIENDS have been gaining much momentum in recent days. They just played a shit-ton of shows at SXSW, and now they’re getting approval from sources like NPR, The Onion, and Wire Magazine amongst others. Now they’ve even got this brand new 7″ single! Continue reading “Girlfriends – Cave Kids 7″” →

Snake Flower 2 – Memory Castle 7″

SNAKE FLOWER 2 is led my Matthew Melton of Bare Wires, and this single here is apparently their last. While I can’t really confirm that, you can at least let this single take you on a psyched-out and wild ride through frantic and focused garage-pop. Continue reading “Snake Flower 2 – Memory Castle 7″” →

The UV Race – Acid Trip 7″

Hailing from Melbourne in Australia is the UV RACE, who just dropped a brand new full length via In the Red Records. This right here is their fourth official single, packed with mind-altering psych mutations from the Sweet Rot label out of Vancouver. Continue reading “The UV Race – Acid Trip 7″” →

Song of the Day #9

Thanks to our pals from Evil Weevil Records who endlessly produce awesome local (not exactly this time) bands, we have a little something here we thought was worth your attention. Seemingly driven by loneliness is the debut demo 7″ from Brooklyn’s own BIG EYES. This female fronted band takes on a gritty punk attitude based somewhere between scuzzy garage rock and organized indie-pop, but neither of the two overshadow the other. They balance things out quite nicely, with humongous guitar hooks and enough tension to keep you stressin’ out for days – but in the best way possible. Whatever that means.

Real Numbers – Tear it in Two 7″

After checking out this brand new 7″ from REAL NUMBERS, I was immediately upset it took me this long to come across them. Thanks to Florida’s Dying we have this new 7″, as well as other past releases from the likes of Bachelor and Three Dimensional Records. Continue reading “Real Numbers – Tear it in Two 7″” →

Rayon Beach – Death Rides a Horse 7″

The boys of RAYON BEACH recently released a new 7″ from Plastic Spoons Records. It features their dizzying take on crunchy, energetic garage rock with an obvious lo-fi production and some slight nods to psych rock and punk on the other end. Continue reading “Rayon Beach – Death Rides a Horse 7″” →
