Sparkle Teeth : Sparkle Teeth EP

On Dan Kinnaley’s debut EP as Sparkle Teeth, he locks into this sonically-rich musical world where early 90s fuzz intermingles with shoegaze pop and post-hardcore grit. In other words, if you grew up on bands like Polvo, Dino Jr, Lush, and find those vibes in modern bands like Protomartyr, Cloakroom, and Whirr, then Sparkle Teeth […]

Bonsai Return With “Barbra” Single And Video

The Fort Wayne band Bonsai lock into a sound that’s both classic and modern. The four-piece make melody-driven rock and roll that write songs that feel like anthems; big riffs, big rhythms, and big vocals that make you want to roll down the windows and keep driving till the tank hits empty. Sisters McKenna and […]

Dehd : Flowers of Devotion

Dehd’s Flowers of Devotion is filled with anthems big and bold. Reverberating guitars, pop harmonies, and the fire of punk rock runs throughout the Chicago three-pieces newest LP. The band, which includes singer-bassist Emily Kempf, singer-guitarist Jason Balla, and drummer Eric McGrady, reach deep into the universal hum of love and life to give us […]

Joyhouse Premiere’s “Truman” Video; There Will Be Blood

Midwestern three-piece Joyhouse were just about done recording their debut EP back in March when the world shut down. Recording vocals a week before the state of Indiana went on lockdown, the band which consists of Chris Kelsey(vocals, guitar), Ian Skeans(vocals, guitar) and Kiah Gerig(drums), thought they were a mere few weeks away from debuting […]

Bradford Trojan : Meanwhile

Bradford Trojan makes the kind of music that feels both sun-kissed and world-weary. Weather worn pop songs that fall into the category of DIY, but not lo-fi. His tunes are like finding a cassette underneath your car seat that’s been there years, maybe even decades. Unmarked you put it in the deck and find this […]

Let Remington super 60 Brighten Your Day With “Still Near”

We are officially into the dog days of summer, and boy oh boy what a dog it is. Like Cujo mixed with the Rottweiler in The Omen with a touch of those hellhounds Robert Johnson sang about. Between the virus, the protests, and a large portion of the population of the world that doesn’t take […]

Caleb Landry Jones : The Mother Stone

Up until a couple months ago I only knew actor Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee from X Men : First Class and the creepy brother of Allison Williams in Jordan Peele’s Get Out. I also thought that he was Irish for some strange reason. Turns out he’s from Garland, Texas, and besides being an amazing […]

Real Estate : The Main Thing

New Jersey’s Real Estate have been reliable harbingers of breezy, jangly indie rock for a decade now. Despite the simplicity in the sound of their songs, there’s a depth in the longing they sing about. Songs about longing for those backyard parties, garage band shows, and haunting suburban streets long past curfew. In the decade […]

Honey Cutt Drops “Coasting”; New Album Out March 13th

There’s something wistful about the music of Honey Cutt. It’s a pure sort of pop that comes from this Boston indie rock band. A kind of pop music that can only come from equal parts happiness and sadness. Songs that grow from a dark place attempting to make things a bit lighter. Or at least […]

Spoon : Everything Hits at Once//The Best of Spoon

It’s hard to believe Spoon have been around long enough to warrant releasing a ‘best of’ collection, but here we are. It’s 2019 and Spoon have just released a 13-track collection of tracks that cover from 2001s Girls Can Tell clear up to 2017s Hot Thoughts. Everything Hits at Once: The Best of Spoon is […]
