New Music | Filligar – Motor Shine

Filligar

[C]hicago’s Filligar is prepping a brand new single that I’m pretty excited about, “Motor Shine,” a fresh sound for a band that might need a break, they’ve been touring relentlessly for the last 8 years, and specifically the last few after gaining big press from all over with their 2010 effort The Nerve, and their ’13 effort Hexagon, both big favorites to my ears.

With “Motor Shine,” you can hear it all over the cool melodies, and laid back feel that “all came directly or indirectly from spending time on the beach,” Gibson said of the new song. It’s a breath of fresh air, from a band that might just need it, although they probably wont take the time to smell the roses.

20. Jonny Fritz – Dad Country [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2_RIg0vZPQ[/youtube] [L]ast year, Mr. Fritz was Mr. Corndawg, and he’d kickstartered a record that finally came early this year, chock full of new tunes & re-recordings of old tunes with a bunch of great musicians (Dawes) and now we have one of the funnest records in Dad Country, for the year.

New Music | Filligar – New Local

Filligar

[T]ouring like mad has turned Chicago band Filligar is turning the band into what everyone thought they could become, a force in music. Their live show has always shown who they were, a brash young group who definitely had the makings of something special, they almost seemed to explode with energy, and passion, and in this new track, “New Local,” the band drives the song and sound with pounding drums, pulsing piano riffs and big guitar s all with a giant dash of bombast. If this track doesn’t lift you out of your seat, you might not have a soul.

Look for New Local on Filligar’s upcoming record titled, Hexagon, out July 23rd.

New Music | Filligar – Knock Yourself Right Out / Dead Wrong

Filligar – Knock Yourself Out Filligar – Dead Wrong One of the best rock & roll bands you have to know about and our Chicagoan friends, Filligar, sent me 2 unreleased tracks that may appear on an album they are to release in 2012 and well, I’m in love all over again.

Check out Filligar – Guilty Good Intentions

About a week ago I got a fantastic video submission from Chicago band, Filligar. They were kind enough to send along their album ‘The Nerve’ and I’ve listened to it a few times now and can honestly say these guys are one of the best straight up rock acts I’ve gotten to hear in a while. This is what rock & roll is supposed to sound like, its a modern sound paired with that classic rock sound we all love, a re-imagining if you will. Filligar has got a big show this friday in NYC if any of you are…
