Matthew Logan Vasquez – Fatherhood
Posted
While Delta Spirit is not officially broken up, they’re just not a going concern at this very moment, vocalist/guitarist Matthew Logan Vasquez started penning some songs last year, and realized they weren’t really Delta Spirit songs anyway … but much more personal ones. And thus...

Diet Cig – Barf Day
Pop-punk duo Diet Cig from New York just released their newest music video, for “Barf Day”. Fun story, the pair met whilst vocalist/guitarist Alex Luciano needed a lighter and interrupted drummer Noah Bowman during a set. She didn’t get the lighter, she got a wine instead. But h...

Jason Loewenstein – Hey Hey
Man, I love the groovy howling guitar in this new track from Jason Loewenstein, called “Hey Hey”. His newest effort, Spooky Action, is also out on June 16th. Great month for new albums, apparently. Oh hell, when isn’t a good month for new albums. Actually. December. December is ...

Kevin Morby – Come To Me Now
Innocently came across this on Youtube this morning whilst listening to some other materiels. Amazing little song by Mssr. Morby, a singer-songwriter out of Lubbock, Texas. Used to be the bassist for the noise-folk group Woods, who I’m sure I’ve told you about before. Well, if not you...

Olive And the Pitz – East Bumblefuck
East Bumblefuck. The name of a fictional town. The name of a song. The state of my life. One. Or all. What a fucked up week it’s been. With all due respect to my friends from the USA, ummm, what the hell were you thinking. Seriously. Olive And the Pitz are from northern New Jersey, [...]

Oxford, UK musician Cameron AG released his newest single Walk Your Line back in September. A song “about letting people down … trying to do the right thing and getting it completely wrong”, it’ll appear on his EP called Homeward Bound due out this fall. Intensely beautiful indie rock with emotio...

The Sumner Brothers – Ant Song / In Town Friday
Posted
A weird and quirky video from our good friends The Sumner Brothers out of Vancouver, one of my favorite west coast folk-rock projects right now. You know how it is – there’s this ant – and he gets infected with this weird fungus – and his head explodes – and then the whole colony gets [...]

Jeen – Modern Life (Electrified) / New Album Out November 4
I talked about Ontario’s Jeen in 2014 with her single Buena Vista; and then again last year with Remedy. Now here are in 2016 and I’m talking about her again. She’s got two recent singles out, both barn-busting stormbursters. Modern Life (Electrified) was released about a month ago. It’s a track ...

Matthew And Me – Figure
I happenstanced across this track early this morning, and just had to post it. One of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in a long while. Well, at least a few weeks. Of course, keep in mind that other sounds I hear on a daily basis are the screechings, screamings, and pleadings of two 18-month-...

Scratch Buffalo – Black Water
Scratch Buffalo is a Calgary indie/garage rock trio that’s been around since 2014. Earlier this year they released their debut EP Wanna Know the Secret? Check out the closing track Black Water above. An intriguing little ditty, sort of like a White Stripes sort-of-thing blendered with indie and b...

Prince Bunny – Fall (For Matthew)
I saw this band last week at Rocking 4 Dollars at the Buckingham. You know the formula, two originals, one cover that Craig picks for you. Kind of intimidating if you ask me. Though I still have it as a musical goal. Anyways, you know you can sometimes just hear a band’s soundcheck and alre...

Divan – Sale Of Lakes
Dublin-based indie rockers Divan released their debut single Sale of Lakes recently, in advance of their full-length Modern Knowledge, which will drop on August 19. Check it out above. The track is full of sparkly glitter and indie-popness, but with hefty overtones of darkness and despair. Just t...
