The Judy Blooms – Judy EP

Dreamy lo-fi encapsulates the southern California vibe. And although The Judy Blooms hail from Brooklyn, we still have to hand it to them for creating such a great way to enjoy the remaining days of summer. The Judy EP is five tracks of sun-burnt guitars and a kodachrome state of mind.  Read More

The Vandies – Hit & Run

Upbeat and driven rock from the PNW. The Vandies are dishing out garage punk with a taste of pop. This riot grrrl sound is meant to be played loud. Read More

Lions – Forgettingism

Pet Lions – Popular Nature

Wildcat Strike – S/T

Wildcat Strike came onto our radar with their energetic rock & roll sound. Forming just over a year and a half ago (still relatively young in band years), the five member band has already released a thunderous debut. The self-titled album has no shortage of catchy songs. The entire album is packed with piano, solid guitar riffs, polished drums, and melodious vocals. You can really feel that the band had a lot of fun writing and recording. The vibe really comes through in the finished work. Read More

Center of the Sun – Machine Gun

North Carolina doesn’t seem like the celestial type of place but it does contain at least one luminary band. Center of the Sun is a dreamy pop-rock band that carries a bit of grit & gloom for that added dose of heaviness. Ally Hoffman’s vocals are a wonderful addition to the fuzzy guitars and solid drum work. Upon first listen, Machine Gun sounds reminiscent of early 90s alternative but with modern flair. Vaguely like The Cranberries but with a style all their own. Read More

Tannhäuser – Voces

Tannhäuser is just one of those bands that grab you upon first listen. Rhythm meets ambient; their music is an ethereal landscape that is perfect for studying or just chilling out on a lazy afternoon. The Seville, Spain four-piece let their music do the talking, making this instrumental album very similar to other artists we love like This Will Destroy You and Explosions In The Sky. Read More
