Having already shared the title track back in April, Aldo have now unveiled another song entitled 'Papermaze'. Powered by spacey, fuzzy synths, up-kicking drums, and a funky bass line, the song is an overly addicting gem that we can't get enough of.

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.

Already having ties to the theatrical piece Ubu which ran at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London band Famous make a wave of a splash with their new mini-album 'England'. A roller coaster ride of post-punk, new wave and art-pop, krautrock and more, the six-track record is theatre in itself with vocalist Jack Merrett delivering bold performances reminiscent of the likes of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and even elements of Mark E. Smith of The Fall. You can also hear influences of David Bowie swirling around 'England'.
Portland-based band Summer Cannibals have shared a hilarious video for their latest single 'Can't Tell Me No', which is the title cut taken from the group's upcoming LP. The Jonah Ray and David B. Lyons-directed visuals feature the band working at the arcade Quarterworld under the iron fist of a mean boss. Eventually running out of patience for his dictator-like ways, singer Jessica Boudreaux hits him in the head with a skee ball. Summer Cannibals eventually transform the arcade into a music venue.
