UK band Towns , is about to put out their 90’s sounding new single, “Just Everything”. Full of huge fuzzy guitars, and angsty rebelling vocals, the song is taylor made to be played loud in arenas. The airiness of the vocals do a perfect job at balancing out all the hectic, yet flourishing sounds coming all around your speakers Reminds me very much of last year’s breakout success, Yuck.  The single will be available on May 28th through Cartoon records. You can get it as a digital download or a limited edition cassette. (You can pre-order that here .) Website ...

The members of Fawn are not only talented musicians, but design their own record covers, photography, posters, websites, and video treatments. They've assembled an excitingly well-versed group to showcase the sound of New Detroit through the prisms of such 90's touchstones as Jesus and Mary Chain, The Pixies, Sleater-Kinney, The Breeders, and Juliana Hatfield, alongside modern influences like Yuck or The New Pornographers. Check out this free download of the new song "Pixels".

Koji, Kurt Travis, and Bearcat just recently finished up a full US tour with Never Shout Never. The tours over, but we’ve put all three artists together for a great new PropertyOfZack Playlist feature. Check out the Playlists and listen to the songs on Spotify while reading everyone’s thoughts! (Click on image to listen in Spotify) IT’S SPRING TIME. SOUTHERN MUSIC IS WHAT’S GOOD. First thing you should know, my favorite singer is—without a doubt—Otis Redding. “Dock of the Bay” is one of the first songs I ever heard, ever learned. Secondly, B.B ...

As Parakeet, Yuck bassist Mariko Doi has already dropped her solo track “Tomorrow.” Today, we get to hear that track’s single, a bit of fuzzed-out dreampop called “Paper, Scissors, Stone.” It plays alongside some abstract nature footage in the video below.

Fill your ears with metal and more by listening to this mixtape put together by the curators of this month's I'll Be Your Mirror festival Fans of South Park, as well as anyone with an interest in metal, will be familiar with the Slayer tune Raining Blood: on an episode called Die Hippie, Die it was used to drive a hippie festival from town. It's the record that kicks of this mixtape, produced by the All Tomorrow's Parties team to herald their second I'll Be Your Mirror festival in the UK. These are a new ...

"We were born with sun in our teeth and in our hair" , croons Bethany Cosentino on the opening lines of her sophomore release "The Only Place" - summing up the ethos of Best Coast right off the bat and setting the tone for the rest of the album. In a conscious effort to move away from her image as the adorable pot-smoking, cat-loving California girl who thought that Jimmy Buffett invented chillwave, Cosentino has stepped slightly out of the lo-fi fuzz of Best Coast's summer-of-'10-defining debut LP "Crazy For You" and into smoother, clearer territory whilst retaining the warm ...

Sie gehören zu den interessantesten Newcomern der aktuellen Musikwelt und veröffentlichen am 25. Mai ihr selbstbetiteltes Debüt-Album: die beiden Schwestern Hannah und Colette Thurlow alias 2:54. Mit ihren melancholischen LoFi-Indie-Sound, dem stets eine gewisse sinistre Note innewohnt, erinnert das Duo an eine etwas morbidere Variante von Warpaint , lässt aber auch Vergleiche zu The xx und The Cure in den späten 80er-Jahren zu – und selbst eine Prise 90er Alternative Rock lässt sich heraushören. Produziert wurde der Langspieler dabei von Rob Ellis, welcher in der Vergangenheit bereits mit PJ Harvey und Nick Cave zusammenarbeitete. Mit "Creeping" gibt es jetzt eine erste ...

(Lean la crónica del primer día de festival aquí). Sábado 5 de mayo Después de un larguísimo día de resaca (sobre todo, para los que dormíamos sobrevivíamos en el camping), al fin cayó la tarde y con ella, la lluvia. Nada que sorprendiera a los londinenses Yuck, que se sintieron como en casa. Este era [...]

Parakeet releases the official clip to the b-sided ‘Paper,Scissors,Stone’ from their limited self-released ‘Tomorrow’ 7′ single.  Part Yuck part History [...]

It's that time of the year again, ladies and gentlemen! Time to pack up the tent, get out the raincoats, wash that sleeping bag and test your strength with ten or so crates of something cheap and alcoholic. Well, unless you’re attending the first major festival of the summer that is, where you can just storm around some warm, cosy venues in North London, all with fully stocked bars and (this is the best bit) fully working toilets! Camden Crawl is an annual amble, shuffle, saunter, rush, push, skip and (of course) crawl around a number of venues ...

We caught up with one of our favourite UK bands of 2012 for a quick 'Artist Picks' style grilling... Tell us about yourselves and about Parakeet? Mariko: James and I started Parakeet some time ago. When we started I wrote a bunch of riffs on bass and James came up with drums for it and we were like a cute version of Trans Am. Then we could not resist the sound of distorted guitars and vocal melodies so I started recording them. Recently we found this Strat man with long hair and we could not stop grinning when we rehearsed ...

Contributed by Erin Shay UK-based foursome Yuck showcased their 2011 debut self-titled album and new single “Chew” during a relaxed late afternoon set at Coachella a few weeks back. The track comes from the band’s forthcoming (little known-about) release and is booming and outrageous. Definitely a good sign on the horizon for the endearing young [...]

OK Liverpool, we’ve had a sucky few months for local music. The disappointing loss of both The Masque and Mojo inspired a variety of responses from ‘this is a tragedy’ to ‘big fucking deal’, but Static Gallery’s closure hit pretty hard. No, it wasn’t the best place in the world. Yes, it could’ve done with, say, a second toilet. But as a lovingly-operated arts centre, not to mention host to some of the best damn shows this fair city has seen over the last decade, it was pretty special. And even more recently, Le Bateau – home ...
