Hardly Art, the Sub Pop subsidiary that we’re in love with, have just made one of their most exciting signings ever, Austin, TX’s Woven Bones.  To celebrate, they’ve just put out this smashing 7″ with two brand new songs.  Both sides are full of just downright nasty, filthy, snarling, insane garage that will tear you apart in the [...]

Remember how awesome that rad little pop record we posted by Tennis was?  Well, they’ve got another single coming out on one of our favorite labels, Underwater Peoples.  “Baltimore” collects another three songs of pure pop magic.  It’s $7 and ships at the end of the month at UnderwaterPeoples.com. [Audio clip: view full post to [...]

I just got this rad little 7″ in the mail from These Are Not Records, and it’s an impressive release, that’s for sure.  Impeccably constructed, this thing looks beautiful, plus gives us two brand new tunes from Pittsburgh’s Modey Lemon.  Side A’s “Wandering Eye” is a catchy, powerful piece of rock and roll, one that [...]

Best Coast just may be one of the hottest underground bands in the world right now, so Mexican Summer pricing their debut LP well under their normal “boutique prices” is quite refreshing.  This band, the brainchild of frontwoman Bethany Cosentino (formerly of Pocahaunted), plays the absolute best sun-drenched, blown-out California pop music you’ll hear this [...]

Looks like there’s a new pressing of Best Coast’s “Sun Was High (So Was I)” 7″ available.  If you’re new to this band, today is your lucky day, former Pocahaunted member Bethany Cosentino’s Best Coast project is responsible for some of the absolute best sun-drench garage-pop being played today.  They’re already unbelievably hyped and beyond [...]

A lot of times when we get emails from bands wanting us to listen to their shit, it ends up being just that, shit.  So it was a nice surprise when the music of Lil’ Daggers actually ended up being super awesome.  They’re yet another band to come out of the burgeoning Florida garage scene [...]

Eternal Summers member Daniel Cundiff’s other band, The Young Sinclairs, seem to be about the most prolific band on the planet.  If you’ve never heard their stuff, you’d be amazed you aren’t listening to a recording from the 60′s, they have the sunny psychedelic pop sound of that era down perfectly.  The band has three [...]

I just got the heads up about this 7″ by Austin band Followed By Static.  “Lullaby / AADC” is a seven inch slab of good old fuzzed-out rock and roll vinyl.  They certainly seem like a band worth keeping an eye on.  You can grab yerself a copy for only $5 and hear some more [...]

Vinyl and cassette version of the debut album from The Bitters now available in exchange for your hard-earned monies. Featuring members of Fucked up, these tunes truly run the gamut of inspiration from 60′s throwback melodies to 90′s post-punk distortion. It all gels quite nicely, though. The LP is being pressed up and pre-ordered from [...]

The insanely prolific Thee Oh Sees are back with a new fully-realized album, “Warm Slime”.  This is kind of a return to form for the band, absolutely grade-A psychedelic garage rock here.  Then again, if you’re reading this, you probably already know what you’re getting into with these guys, this is just more of that [...]

If you’re looking for a good slab of straight-up rock and roll, check out this split 12″ by two Minneapolis bands, Fuck Knights and G-Biz.  It showed up on my doorstep the other day and sounds wonderful on vinyl.  The Fuck Knights side is fast stuff with tinges of punk and garage.  The G-Biz side [...]

Some of the most exciting shit I’ve heard lately from the garage/psych/blown-out scene has come from Mississippi’s one-man band, Flight.  If you haven’t picked up his 10″ on Kill Shaman, do it, it’s essential gear.  This new 7″ on Paris’ Plastic Spoons Records is also sounding like an absolute gem.  Flight brings together everything I [...]

It’s no secret that The Fresh & Onlys are one of our favorite garage rock bands, and when coupled with Brooklyn band of the moment Golden Triangle, things sound even better.  This 7″ collects two brand new songs from each, maximum bang for your buck.  We’ve also commented on Hardly Art’s wonderful vinyl fidelity before, [...]

After an uber-fast sellout of the first pressing, White Fence’s self-titled album has been reissued.  If you’re asking yourself “who the fuck is White Fence?”, well, you’re probably note alone, but it’s actually the moniker for the solo output of Tim Presley (also of The Strange Boys and Darker My Love).  This is beautiful, psychedelic [...]
