If the music of Canadian-born, Georgia-raised singer Earth Girl Helen Brown sounds like a nomadic engulfing of styles, that would probably be due to the fact that she has trekked around the U.S. in a gypsy like manner, not to mention living in a mountaintop of Alaska. What has culminated as an aritst is an interesting mix of psych meets pop meets garage rock with an Americana sensibility that literally sounds like an entity on to itself.
Glassmaps is the moniker of Howling Bells guitarist Joel Stein. Some may remember his EP 'My Head My Heart' that was released about three years ago. He followed up with his 'Hypnotised' single in late 2016. Now ready to step forward with his debut LP 'Strangely Addicted', forthcoming this October via Lost In The Manor, Joel Stein has unveiled his latest single 'Summer Rain'. Swinging with the sounds of psychedelic and blues rock with a pop sensibility, the single also features Mark Stoermer of The Killers. Embedded with an undouted swagger, you can stream the tune below.
Having flown the flag for NYC rock & roll for 12 years now, The Baby Shakes released their third studio album 'Turn It Up' earlier this month. Fusing the sounds of classic punk and garage with a notch of power pop, the group have unveiled the title track taken from the LP. Keeping it stripped and raw with the meat and potatoes of punk, the tune is perfect for a day time drive with the top down.
The Kills have announced the release of their new EP 'Echo Home – Non-Electric'. Schduled to land June 2.

Swedish rockers MANKIND make their return with a healthy dealing of dark and powerful garage rock. Just a second under four minutes in length, 'Three Handfuls Of Dirt' is a slow building drill of electrifying guitar riffs and thunderous drums before exploding into intense climax that would raise the dead. Ironically the track is taken from their forthcoming EP 'Death', out May 12.

Whilst the city of Atlanta may have a stake on the sound of trap music, there is a bubbling punk scene that is happening beneath the surface. One of the groups that are at the forefront of the punk circuit in the ATL are the threesome known as The Coathangers. Forming in 2006, these rockers have released a number of 7" records as well as three LPs over their decade span. With their forthcoming 'Parasite' EP out June 30th via Suicide Squeeze, they have shared one of the songs taken from the release entitled 'Captain's Dead'. A spicy delivery in content, sing-a-long hooks and clever instrumentation makes this another winner for the trio.
