The So So Glos Interview

Published by
Whilst Ann Arbor and Detroit acts such as The Stooges and the MC5 were precursors to what would inspire bands to create a sound known as punk rock, the proper formation of the movement took place in New York City in the early 70s. Groups like The New York Dolls and The Velvet Underground went on to further lay a foundation for the scene with bands like Television, The Ramones and Patti Smith elevating the culture to new heights, eventually creating an international buzz. This legacy of the grit and grind, the hustle and the New York DIY ethic is one that Brooklyn band The So So Glos know oh so well. They are the now generation of rockers proudly flying the flag for NYC with a spirit and sound that is energetic and resonant.

Stream Silent Pictures’ New LP ‘Let it Begin’

Published by
San Francisco band Silent Pictures have released their new album 'Let it Begin'. Stirring together psych, shoe gaze and garage, the 12-song LP is raw in delivery and spunky in instrumentation. Whilst the beauty of the album does explode through its gritty sonics, there is also flex and stretching moments that comes from the experience of playing for many years. In a way, Silent Pictures are letting loose with ease, as tracks effortlessly shift from raging guitar shredding and distortion on tunes like 'Time Has Broken' to delicate melodies on songs such as 'Far From Reach'. 'Let it Begin' is rock & roll uncut, unfiltered and utterly addicting. You can preview the album below.

Listen to Tiger Army’s New Single ‘Prisoner of the Night’

Published by
L.A. band Tiger Army bridge classic rock and roll to the times of now with their new single 'Prisoner of the Night', taken from their upcoming album 'V •••– '. Drawing inspiration from the American rock sound of the late 50's to early 60s, the track is currently out now via Rise Records. Regarding 'Prisoner of the Night', lead vocalist Nick 13 wrote: "Our sound has always been about a mix of old and new. But this song, like others on the new record, draws from the early ‘60s. It was a transitional period after the end of rock 'n' roll's first wave, but prior to the British invasion. There was a lot of sonic experimentation as people tried to figure out 'what's next'? Radio singles of that era also went on to influence early NYC punk, so 'Prisoner' plays with that as well."
