While the circumstances may not be bright, it's time to get to know Jack, the solo project of singer/songwriter Brittany Costa. Today marks the release of her debut EP, Resting Places, an immediate record that tears through the burning rage and heartbreaking grief that comes from the passing of a loved one.
Glueboy are getting ready to release Yikes, their third release this Saturday, July 30th. Recorded with Nick Dooley (Flagland) and mastered by Amar Lal (Big Ups),it may just be the swansong the city needs. We're excited to share the premiere of "You Shout," the album's first single, an energetic blast of the band's earnest indie basement pop.
We're excited to share the premiere of "Decentralized," the second single from the record ahead of the band's tour dates with Cloud Becomes Your Hand. Built on an ascending bass line, Wei Zhongle's wild bubbling prepared guitar and spiraling clarinet set the tone for the other dimensional pop odyssey.
Better known by his actual name, Jackie McDermott, he's a member of both Urochromes and The Sediment Club, two of the more exciting bands currently reigning down the weirdness across the East Coast. Having developed an alter-ego however, it only seems right that McDermott will release his first solo release under the Mark Cone moniker, a 7" aptly titled Mark Cone Sings.
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns. Things can't stay the same forever, but after one listen to Sleepies' new record it's abundantly clear, we sure as hell missed Sleepies these past few years and their return couldn't be more welcome, The band's so called "nice-kid freak-punk" (their words, not ours) is tightly wound and bugged out. It's harsh and boisterous yet fun and inviting.
Disposable America Records is getting ready to release Special Interest, a new digital/cassette compilation on Friday, July 15th, 2016. In the light of Sunday's horrific events in Orlando, the label has decided to share Coaches' "What The World Needs Now (Is Love)" cover earlier than originally planned to raise money for the victims at Pulse.
Confirmation Bias is the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories. It’s also the name of the new album from Chicago’s Yeesh, which comes out on Tiny Engines July 22. They’ve already graced us with the first single “End Results” and now we’re happy to premiere their new single “World Building.”
The band have an exceptional new record coming in the not too distant future but before you can hear that, the Philadelphia trio are sharing a new single, "Kill The Thing You Love". Set for release as a stand-alone single via Lame-O Records with all proceeds going to the organization Women Against Abuse, we're thrilled to present the premiere.
Humor is an apt title for the EP. Song titles like "Fear and Loathing in the WWE" and the first and last tracks sharing a similar title but for a change in punctuation add to the loose vibe. Kiss Concert’s lyrics amble along over the music with a Bad History Month sort of story telling pace and can range from quite funny to absurd, often in the same line.
"The Dark End of the Street" is a song originally done by James Carr in 1966 and has been covered by the likes of Afghan Whigs, Cat Power, Frank Black, and even Linda Ronstadt. Zagers' original work can be off-kilter but here the sparse arrangement gives it a feeling of being bathed in tungsten lighting.
