Album Review: Headache Time by Beach Bugs

Album Review: Headache Time by Beach Bugs

Cheerful harmonies and self-deprecating songs from Limoges, France. This band would be really fun to see live, and if you can’t manage that, they’re fun to listen to. Our favorite song: Loser. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)

Album Review: Lunatic by George Wilding

Album Review: Lunatic by George Wilding

These are some long, thoughtful lines of music and George Wilding sings them with everything he’s got. Hats off too to the band of five brothers who did the totally interesting production. Our favorite song: One More Time for Me Sweetheart. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)

Album Review: Chimera Camera by Love Port

Album Review: Chimera Camera by Love Port

Eighties pop, seventies harmonies, nineties rock, and a mix of external sounds that sounds very right now. Experimentally-listenable music from Albany, New York. Our favorite song: In My Dreams. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)

EP Review: EP S/T by Secret Shame

EP Review: EP S/T by Secret Shame

If you’re in the mood for songs about blood and death and lovers being torn from each other in the dark of night, Secret Shame is in the mood for you. The singer alone will kill you to death. Our favorite song: Revolution. (Reviewed on our our #27 podcast, We Fry on a Guitar with Your Mother, Son.)

One man from Belgium and Kyle the robot drummer bring you super-short homages to the Replacements (and other ideas). Our favorite song: Replacements Song. (Reviewed on our our #27 podcast, We Fry on a Guitar with Your Mother, Son.)

Album Review: The Veins by The Veins

Album Review: The Veins by The Veins

Deep, heavy, thoughtful, moody Australian shoegaze with a semi-disturbing video-art project to match. Our favorite song: Harrowing. (Reviewed on our our #27 podcast, We Fry on a Guitar with Your Mother, Son.)

EP Review: Summer Jelly by Holy Ghost Tent Revival

EP Review: Summer Jelly by Holy Ghost Tent Revival

 

Four feel-good summery songs by six guys (and a mysterious woman) who make a study of feeling good. This band sounds like beer city. Our favorite song: Who Knew. (Reviewed on our our #27 podcast, We Fry on a Guitar with Your Mother, Son.)

Album Review: Life of the Appetite by Fleurs

Album Review: Life of the Appetite by Fleurs

Sounds that you’ve heard before, like you’ve never heard them before: The Strokes do INXS. Watch out, New Haven. Our favorite song: Scuzz. (Reviewed on our our #27 podcast, We Fry on a Guitar with Your Mother, Son.)

Album Review: Avenade with Here’s to the Prejudice

Album Review: Avenade with Here’s to the Prejudice

It’s embarrassing to make rock music alone in your bedroom. Unless, of course, you can totally pull it off. This kid can do anything he wants. Bravo, Avenade. Our favorite song: Indulge Yourself. (Reviewed on our #26 podcast – We Are in Bed.)
