Coming out of Detroit is the band Shadow Show, who have been releasing a number of incredible garage rock and psychedelic tracks over the past year and a half. With their debut album 'Silhouettes' out February 14th via Burger Records / Stolen Body Records, the trio have shared their latest single entitled 'Charades.
Northern California band Nobody's Baby may be new to our ears but their recent single 'Life of a Thousand Girls' is a lovely offering of doo-wop, garage rock and punk that is utterly addicting. While the first half of the song musically embodies 1950's classicism in terms of instrumentation, the band switches to a harder punk-driven sound with chunky guitar riffs accompanying tingling vocal melodies. We're looking forward to hearing loads more from the promising Bay Area band. Have a listen.
Paving a lane in the rock & roll scene, Los Angeles band Pinky Pinky have released their debut album 'Turkey Dinner'. The 11-song release includes the track 'My Friend Sean'. With Hanni El Khatib and Jonny Bell handling the production front, 'Turkey Dinner' finds the trio delving into garage rock, Americana, punk and even pop.
Inspired by a trip to Florida where quite a bit of introspection took place, Montreal band Wild Mercury have shared their new single 'Orange County'. According to the group, this was the very first tune that they recorded together. Taken from their EP1 release, the song is a hazy rock & roll gem laced with sunny garage and alt-pop undertones.
Word to the wise, you might want to avoid Ty Segall at all costs if you're wearing something that is eye-catching to him. If not, you may find yourself as a victim, as highly demonstrated in his latest video 'Taste'. The California rocker goes on a murdering spree, taking a studded jacket, jeans and even glittery, gold shoes.
The Raconteurs will release their long-awaited LP 'HELP US STRANGER' on June 21st. This will mark their third album, since dropping 2008's 'Consolers of the Lonely'. Whilst the term long over due is an understatement, the group have also shared the video for their latest track 'Help Me Stranger'. Directed by Yasuhiko Shimizu, clips of the band performing the song are interwoven with scenes of The Raconteurs in random places and spaces in a frozen position before quickly looking at the camera, all in sync.
L.A. Mood is not from Southern California what so ever, but this is the moniker of Melbourne musician and producer Dave Mudie, who many people may know from playing with Courtney Barnett. With that being said, Mudie has released his new EP 'Breakfast At Sassy's'. This is the follow-up to his 2017 EP 'Crushing Highs & Amazing Lows'. Comprised of five songs in total, this is a wonderland of garage rock, indie, blues rock and pop.
Having recently inked a deal with record label Suicide Squeeze, L.A. band The Paranoyds have unveiled their track 'Trade Our Sins'. Dropping it as single pack with the song 'Hungry Sam', the tune is finds the group slowing down the tempo whilst merging desert-driven garage rock instrumentation with 50s pop melodies. Although currently out digitally, the songs will get released as a 7" on limited edition orange and yellow vinyls on July 12th.
Los Angeles-based trio Pinky Pinky detail a secret crush with their latest track 'My Friend Sean'. Taking it back to the glory days of garage and punk when vivid storytelling was key, the fun song is constructed with raw, stripped back instrumentation, allowing the listener to become completely engulfed in the lyrics whilst simultaneously enjoying just enough of a nod and body movement factor.
With their new album 'HELP US STRANGER' out June 21st on Third Man Records, The Raconteurs have shared their new single 'Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)'. The track follows the band's previously released cut 'Now That You're Gone'. Beginning with a running drum pattern, the track glides into a raw and unorthodox garage rock lane with slices of Dixie sprinkled in the mix.
