NEW MUSIC: Tallboy – Invisible Hand

Tallboy hails from the Philadelphia-area and is the one-man recording project of musician Nick Rossi. ‘Invisible Hand’ comes from his seven track EP Life is Terrible and Everyone is Insane which casually and energetically throws quick-fire guitar songs into the aether, overflowing melodies tumbling over the edges of the songs that recall Husker Du, R.E.M. and Buffalo Tom. Invigorating and concise songs that cut to the … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Tallboy – Invisible Hand

NEW MUSIC: Mark Moldre – Fever Dreams I

Mark Moldre returns with the first taste and title track of his forthcoming new album Fever Dreams. This album has been a long time coming and it follows the fine An Ear To The Earth from 2013. ‘Fever Dreams I’ is a jaunty, noisey and unsettling journey into the psychology of virally-induced broken sleep. Moldre’s previous releases have been more melodic and often folkier in … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Mark Moldre – Fever Dreams I

NEW MUSIC: Manorlady – Ready Go Fade Away

Guitars that rock and guitars that caress at the same time are often hard things to come by. Shoegaze made an art form of it and so many bands still mine that vein of beautiful noise. Some mix it with psych rock, others with dream pop or post-punk. Manorlady were raised in the Mojave desert of Eastern California but now they’re based in Santa Cruz. … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Manorlady – Ready Go Fade Away

ALBUM REVIEW: The Beasts – Still Here

The Beasts Still Here Bang! Records / Rocket A new album from the remaining members of the Beasts of Bourbon (under the name The Beasts) is a bittersweet thing in light of the passing of bassist Brian Hooper and more recently Spencer P. Jones. The name of the band and the album are self explanatory and though there’s enough to justify the band coming together … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Beasts – Still Here

NEW MUSIC: Farmertan – Madness

Farmertan might be a new name to our readers but they’ve been treading the boards since the early 90s, working away at their rootsy, indie rock n roll sound. This song ‘Madness’ comes from the Connecticut band’s brand new album Captains Of Industry (out now) and captures that parched melodic sound that bands like Big Star, The Replacements, The Lemonheads, Buffalo Tom and others perfected … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Farmertan – Madness

NEW MUSIC: Mount Sinai – Weightless

Mount Sinai from the United Kingdom is the work of songwriter Mark S. Aaron, formally known as Rooster Cole and frontman and songwriter of Black Black Hills. Weightless is a really nice noir-textured song that lurches along on piano and brass while Aaron intones dramatic soliloquies over the top of the dark mood below. It really hits its straps in the final minute where guitars rise … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Mount Sinai – Weightless

NEW MUSIC: Hideous Sun Demon – Ssppuunnkk

West Australian psych-punks Hideous Sun Demon have unleashed this new track on us, the psychotic swagger of ‘Ssppuunnkk’ which staggers across the speakers, drops to its knees and crawls deeper into a drug fever. Slashing guitar shreds sonic holes through the song,  above the pummelling rhythm section and Vincent Buchanan-Simpson ’s ferocious lead vocal. Their album Fame Erotic Dream is out now. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Hideous Sun Demon – Ssppuunnkk

NEW MUSIC: Magnus – Saints, Sedated

Sydney trio Magnus know how to hit the metal, indulge the boogie, stoner rock vibe and stay perfectly on the wrong side of weird on this digital single ‘Saints, Sedated’. It hits a super solid pounding sprint home at the back end after digging into jazz metal noir and desert rock grooves. The track features Lucius Borich (Cog) on drums, percussion, backing vocals and organ. … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Magnus – Saints, Sedated
