Dead Gaze – ‘I Found The Ending’
As far as Dead Gaze goes, I’m biased. Ever since hearing ‘Fishing With Robert’ a few years back I’ve tried to piece together the Dead Gaze catalogue, and failed. There was an album (of sorts), a few EPs, a single or two, but no definitive collection to dive into. Thankfully FatCat Records have stepped in, on March 25 the [...]

Los Encantados Interview
Wrap your ears around Brooklyn’s Los Encantados, a six piece indie rock act on the verge of releasing their debut LP in 2013. Meanwhile ‘ZZZZ’ comes from the third chapter of their EP series ‘The Same Damned Soul’. Its a vintage lullaby that throws a mild tantrum before getting its way. If only my high school dance played [...]

Daydreamer – 'Beach Blanket'
Fans of 90s rock take note, Daydreamer‘s ‘Beach Blanket’ is like Teenage Fanclub with overdrive! The Californian quartet have released the six track EP ‘Because’ (free download). The only thing loose about this tune is the snare trap. Its simple, sunny, indie rock. Download Daydreamer’s ‘Because’ EP @ Bandcamp / Connect @ Facebook.

The Folk – 'Rules Of Youth'
Distorted vocals, swooning guitars, a wall of noise. All good things! ‘Rules Of Youth’ opens The Folk‘s new EP ‘Say It Again‘. Sounds like Silversun Pickups meets The Naked & Famous. The Toronto-based five piece have been at it for over two years, picking up festival appearances at NXNE, Hillside Festival and Pop Montreal. The Folk will set [...]

Yast – 'Strangelife'
‘Strangelife’ hit the interwebs last year but thanks to Hare Tracks and Double Sun Recordings it’s now Yast‘s second official single (via No Modest Bear). Seems odd really, considering the Swedish lo-fi act have released numerous demos and downloads since forming in 2007. But who am I to judge!? Its a straightforward, sunny slice of songwriting (how’s that for alliteration)!? [...]
