NEW MUSIC: Joey Sweeney & The Neon Grease – On Monday

Joey Sweeney hails from Philadelphia and as well as writing some great music he also does a very good thing in donating proceeds from his sales to charities. In the case of his album Catholic School, which ‘On Monday’ comes from, half of all profits from album sales, both digital and physical, will go directly to Rock To The Future, a non-profit organization that provides music education for Philadelphia’s underserved … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Joey Sweeney & The Neon Grease – On Monday

NEW MUSIC: Fidelity Project – Shift

Fidelity Project released their EP Out From Under three months ago and this is the song from it that caught our attention. ‘Shift’ has that billowing, aqueous sound where it quickly finds its dreamy groove and just rides it right through the entire song. Cymbal splashes, indie rock guitar that sits somewhere between Johnny Marr and War On Drugs with a vocal from main guy … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Fidelity Project – Shift

NEW MUSIC: Grand Sun – Go Home

Here’s the debut single from the Lisbon, Portugal quartet Grand Sun. ‘Go Home’ is a sunny psych pop trip built on bouncing rhythms, quirky diversions in chants and handclaps and, aesthetically speaking, one foot in 90s England and the other in 60s California. A wonderfully infectious track. Hit up their Bandcamp page below to buy the track at a ‘name your price’ and find links … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Grand Sun – Go Home

NEW MUSIC: Silent Feature – Stiffs And The Saints

A recently released single from Brisbane band Silent Feature. ‘Stiff And The Saints’ careens along on pop’ish hooks and some fine indie rock guitar. They’re a tougher take on the sound of The Shins, echoes of country rock bouncing off their walls… power pop too, particularly 90s glam sound that Redd Kross were mining.   Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Silent Feature – Stiffs And The Saints

NEW MUSIC: The Rifle – Hidden Knives

Slacker, desert fever, dream vibes abound on this track from what appears to be the second album by The Rifle (Tucson, AZ), Anabasis. ‘Hidden Knives’ snakes along as Nelene DeGuzman sings of knives and smiles over rolling bass and a garage rock-style organ.   Continue reading NEW MUSIC: The Rifle – Hidden Knives

ALBUM REVIEW: Alice In Chains – Rainier Fog

They were one of the heavyweights of the 90s metal/grunge scene, successfully blending melodic, down-tuned riffs and harmonies with crunching distortion and classic rock elements. Of course theirs is a tale of tragedy with the drug issues and subsequent death of singer Layne Staley curtailing them for a decade, but it is also one of resurrection, determination and integrity.  Recruiting vocalist William DuVall 12 years … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Alice In Chains – Rainier Fog

ALBUM REVIEW: Deaf Wish – Lithium Zion

Straight out of the gates the Melbourne quartet lock into a relentless distorted churn of guitars that sounds like 90s era Bailter Space sharing a practice room with Blank Realm. The guitars never let up but the lazy vocal smears a dull monotone melody across the surface of the song. It’s a wonderfully hypnotic and mildly unsettling start to an album that has a real … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Deaf Wish – Lithium Zion

ALBUM REVIEW: Harmony – Double Negative

Melbourne’s Harmony have had a four year break between albums but that time has clearly been well spent with Double Negative the strongest culmination of their soulful, ragged and cathartic sound.  Carpetbombing (2014) was a sprawling collection of songs that often sounded brittle and impenetrable, the core of the songs sonically buried beneath the surface. It still impressed but the good news is that on … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Harmony – Double Negative

ALBUM REVIEW: East Brunswick All Girls Choir – Teddywaddy

There’s something undeniably visceral and raw about everything that East Brunswick All Girls Choir do. Exaltation and exorcism are part of their musical modus operandi, such is their commitment to making music that embraces emotion with an unflinching directness. Teddywaddy, the followup to the acclaimed Seven Drummers, charts a course through coruscating punk-laden peaks and drifting, desolate valleys where the songs are stripped and stretched, … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: East Brunswick All Girls Choir – Teddywaddy

ALBUM REVIEW: Stuart A. Staples – Arrhythmia

For Stuart Staples, he of the silken croon out front of UK moodists Tindersticks, it’s been 13 years since his last solo album, Leaving Songs. That record was comfortably in the same musical orbit as Tindersticks – baroque, jazz-informed and dramatic songs placed somewhere between latter day Talk Talk, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. In the intervening years he’s continued to work on film soundtracks which … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Stuart A. Staples – Arrhythmia
