Kris Menace

Published by drh994 under House.

This is the first single off the upcoming album for Kris Menace.  Remember the name because the album won’t be coming out until March 12.   The German has put together a house track a little darker than most but it’s still really cool.   Kris Menace – Falling Star by Kris Menace

Them Swoops

Published by drh994 under Indie Pop.

 Cosine Records has done it again and found another band from Australia that rocks.  Them Swoops hails from Melbourne, actually.  Both of the songs they’re releasing are catchy indie pop songs with a hint of garage pop put in for good measure.   Them Swoops – Work Around It by Cosine Records Them Swoops – [...]

Joywave

Published by drh994 under nu wave.

Joywave will be releasing an ep in March.  You can pre-order it on their Bandcamp page. The first song off of the release is “True Grit,” a darker sounding, atmospheric track that showcases the band’s penchant for addictive songwriting; it’s a synth laden jam that builds around Daniel Armbruster’s arresting vocals. True Grit (off upcoming release, [...]

Xiu Xiu

On March 6 Polyvinyl Records will be releasing Xiu Xiu’s latest album.  You can pre-order it now here now.  I’m really digging the song Hi off the album.  What I’m really  hoping for is for some of the bigger dj’s out there to remix this one.  I think there’s so much potential with this guy to be remixed.

I was quickly intrigued by Drew Smith when he said in the first line of his email that he “outsourced” the video for his latest single.  I thought he was joking, so I had to take a look at this video that was “outsourced” to India.  It turns out, he wasn’t joking and he really [...]

The Birthday Kiss

The Birthday Kiss has a new single out on their Bandcamp.  Around Christmas I did an interview with the band.  You can read it here.  I can’t wait until they put together an official release.  From what I’ve heard, the band will have a very impressive release when it finally comes out.

The Sweet Serenades

Published by drh994 under Indie Pop.

I’ve been a fan of The Sweet Serenades for a while now.  They have such a strong and solid style of indie pop songs.  I’m so thankful I didn’t have their song Die Young on cassette tape because it would be worn out by now.  I listened to that one so many times.  Their song [...]
