Anarchists. Easter candy. Purim. John calls out the New York Times for bullshit and then forgets the lyrics to Piano Man. Plus lots of great music! (Follow us on Facebook! Instagram! Twitter! And lots of stuff about these and other bands, including artist interviews, is at www.hlycrp.com.)
Mid American Drift EP 2016 by Thelma and The Sleaze What could possibly comprise the private hell of a band of four beautiful women who rock immensely hard and are worshiped by pretty much everyone? Spoiler alert: It’s Giselle. She’s their private hell. In this song Thelma & the Sleaze stop shredding sometimes to harmonize […]
Indoors / Serotonin by Daddy's Beemer This singer is not afraid to really sing, (or to really act, in their five star videos). We also love how this new sound is moving this legendary Charlotte band from an emo sound to a groovy-groovy emo sound.
20 Years by Earleine 20 years is a long time to feel something, and think about something, and boil that thing down into some lyrics that have real emotional precision. Earleine brings all that here, with a delivery that matches.
DANK SIDE OF THE MOON by TOP nachos We like everything about TOP Nachos, from their subject matter to their cardboard-box-thumping Tiny Desk video. In addition to being totally amusing they are really talented. Five stars.
The Groove by The Medium Some smart dudes from Nashville who are already famous because of a Rolling Stone guy on a motorbike bring you the entire sounds of seventies radio, smashed into one song. It sounds good. 👍
Cinnamon=Sergio Dean. Introducing the houses of GOT. Rappin’. Bill Murray. Plus lots of great music! (Follow us on Facebook! Instagram! Twitter!)
Magus (May-GUS) and his band sing for a long time about some stuff, like hummingbirds and ships. After 6.5 minutes you’ll feel like you’ve wallpapered the inside of your brain with this song, in such a good way. It’s so, so pretty. Five stars.
Me and John surprised each other, and you, with our unexpected coolness in finding this cool-cool-cool brooklyn-sounding band (they’re from Minnesota). We don’t know what genre this is, but it sounds expensive and sexy and plagued by ennui (like Brooklyn)
