Originating in New York City and now based in New Orleans, The Luxurious Faux Furs are a lively duo who over the years have dropped a number of recordings fusing garage, glam and blues rock that are wild, energetic and utterly entertaining.
L.A. band The Paranoyds make their return with a new single entitled 'Pet Cemetery', which is taken from their upcoming EP of the same name, landing November 27th on Suicide Squeeze Records. What seems appropriate for Halloween, the song is an absolutely rocking splash of garage rock and psychedelic. Stacked with eerie organ lines, sinister guitar riffs and one killer bass line that rumbles throughout the track, 'Pet Cemetery' features The Paranoyds in optimal form delivering one power punching tune.
Brooklyn band Miranda and The Beat step into the spirit of Halloween with their latest single 'Mr. Monster' featuring Obash of Bipolar, which is out via Third Man Records. Musically incorporating 60s souls, garage, surf and psychedelic, there is also that classic element of storytelling within the lyrics that foster a certain nostalgia from previous eras including late 70s punk and the golden age of folk.
As Leeds band Magick Mountain prepare for the release of their debut album 'Weird Feelings', out October 23rd, the group have shared a new song entitled 'Cherokee'. An all out power shot of psychedelic rock, the track steam rolls with crunching guitar lines, thundering drumming, fuzz and multivocals that all add up to one fiery presentation. An excellent release from the trio, we can't wait for the upcoming LP.
Releasing their killer track 'Big As the Dark' back in June, Tuscon band Weekend Lovers have shared their new single 'Larvae Love', which is taken from their forthcoming album 'I Love U In Real Life', landing this November. A fantastic presentation of desert rock and surf, the slick instrumentation is the perfect palette for vocalist and bassist Marta De Leon as she sings of dealing with not so great habits and love.
With their forthcoming album 'Under the Spell of Joy' landing October 2nd on Suicide Squeeze Records, Los Angeles band Death Valley Girls have unveiled the title track to the LP. Firing off with a blast of spaced-out psychedelic rock, the instrumentation is built around lashing guitar riffs and rumbling drums, topped off with front woman Bonnie Bloomgarden's echoing vocals.
Los Angeles band Death Valley Girls will release their forthcoming EP 'Breakthrough' on June 12th via Suicide Squeeze Records. The group have also shared the title track to the new record. Inspired by Damien Echols of the West Memphis 3, the song is a stampeding mix of metal, psychedelic and garage rock that is packed with anthemic vocals and raw, effective instrumentation.
Hanni El Khatib is gearing up for the release of his new album 'FLIGHT', out May 15th on Innovative Leisure. From what we can tell so far, the record is a reflection of all the multiple styles of music that Hanni grew up with in San Francisco, ranging from garage rock and punk to Hip-Hop and soul. Tapping producer Leon Michels to work on the LP, this is listed as Hanni El Khatib's most well-rounded work.
As one half of one of the greatest bands ever, The Kills, not to mention a member of The Dead Weather, Alison Mosshart has brought forth her debut solo single titled 'Rise'. Produced by Lawrence Rothman and recorded in Los Angeles, the song has been released through Domino Records.
Making his return with the track and video 'STRESSY' last month, Hanni El Khatib now unveils another vid, this time for the second single titled 'ALIVE'. What you have here is Hanni dressed up in a Sylvester the Cat costume whilst taking a fall down a very long set of outside steps. While you can pretty much place the metaphorical nature of the visuals to the track itself, we're just hoping that it only took Hanni one take to do that fall! 'ALIVE' is taken from his forthcoming album 'Flight', which is out May 15th on Innovative Leisure.
