New Music | Yukon Blonde – Fire

Published September 21, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

Canada’s Yukon Blonde has announced the release of their Fire//Water EP on Dine Alone Records out October 11 in the US. The first lick from the EP is their track “Fire,” a refreshing classic rock style with harmonies that are inspiring. The band is a little reminiscent of CSN, they retain a timeless sound that is effervescent and a bit west coasty. The song is a bit sing songy, and simplistic, but that simplicity is what will keep you humming along to this track over and over.

Look for the album next month.

Show Info | TONIGHT Liam Finn with Marques Toliver @ TT the Bears

Published September 15, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

Liam Finn – Cold Feet Tonight, the show to see is at TT the Bears. The lineup is really fantastic, and if you’ve not heard of these guys, lets mark it down now as a must listen. Kiwi Singer / Songwriter Liam Finn brings his pedigree (his dad was in Crowded House) some fantastic music and a raucous live show with him as he comes to our fair city. His most recent release, FOMO, has one of the most catchy songs I’ve heard in a long time (Cold Feet available above). The song perfectly blends a 60’s style bright sunny…

New Music | Radio Moscow – Little Eyes

Radio Moscow – Little Eyes

I don’t normally post this kind of brash, in your face type of music but when it comes to Radio Moscow, I’m a fan. This heavy trio breathes the essence of drugged out hard thumping rock and roll music. If the initial screech of Parker Griggs’ guitar doesn’t tell you that in the first 10 seconds, you aren’t listening. Radio Moscow is prepping their third release titled The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz. A title so befitting of their soundscape. Its fuzzy, screeching, 60’s hard rock and roll. Griggs’ musicianship should be heralded in this fashion, he puts together some of the most ridiculous acid laced guitar soloing. He’s remarkable. These guys set the bar for retro psych hard rock; and its really exciting to get to hear more from them.

The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz will be released October 11th through Alive Records.

If you haven’t heard of them, I would recommend grabbing their last release Brain Cycles.

New Music | A.A. Bondy – Surfer King

Published September 15, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

A.A. Bondy – Surfer King NPR debuted AA Bondy’s “Surfer King” off his recently released, album Believers, as the NPR song of the day yesterday. So in the spirit of SOTD I gave it a listen. Its a bit of a different feel from his earlier days of being a blues / folk troubadour. This slow, ambling song tromps around on a feathery light, downtrodden, almost sobbing sound. It’s a haunting song that is quite gorgeous in its ability to both be sad and comforting at the same time. Stream Believers here. Buy his new album Believers now.

New Music | The Dirty Lungs – Don’t Fucking Remind Me

Published September 14, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

The Dirty Lungs – Don’t Fucking Remind Me Lo Fi garage rock revivalists The Dirty Lungs play their version 1960s garage-rock scene in their featured single “Don’t Fucking Remind Me.” Its a little bit surf, a little bit garage, its a lot of dirt. The lo fi feel on this single doesn’t seem pretentious, it gives an authentic feel with its chamber vocals an simplistic recording. They sent me a message a long time ago; and I really should not have waited this long to bring it forth. The song has been searing in my head for the last couple…

New Music | Empress Hotel – Bells Ring

Published September 14, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

Empress Hotel – Bells Ring
Pop revivalist New Orleans quintet Empress Hotel crafted this wonderfully cheery, fun, effervescent song “Bells Ring,” which appears on their Empress Hotel EP (out in March). This is the first I heard it, and I was pleased to hear they are working on their debut full-length, the followup to said EP, which was released on Park the Van (Generationals, Dr. Dog). The sound is a shimmering, keyboard laced pop infusion with sunny vocals that will brighten your day.

The band is also beginning a tour with Van Hunt, and they will be all over the US. Get yourself to a show, and check out their fantastic debut EP.

New Music | Big Harp – Goodbye Crazy City

Published September 8, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

Big Harp – Goodbye Crazy City Next week, LA’s Big Harp will release their record White Hat’s (9/13). I’ve had the opportunity t give this a good listen, and honestly haven’t shut it off much at all. American Songwriter has an exclusive stream of the album up now. But first, you might want to give this husband and wife duo a good listen. I’ve posted Goodbye Crazy City, a classic country / folk track that shoes off vocalists Chris Senseney’s deep vocals, straightforward rhythmic approach. Its a track about giving up on being young, leaving the city, and reflecting upon a life of…
