Song We Like: Psychic Girl by Reptilians from Andromeda

Song We Like: Psychic Girl by Reptilians from Andromeda

Possibly the coolest song we’ve played all year long. Epic cool swagger. These creatures from Andromeda stalk the underground music scene, thin, pale, clad in black. This reminds me of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, grabbing pieces of psychedelic late sixties rock and post punk gloom and creating something totally new and strange and wonderful.

Song We Like: Driftwood Dancer by Slow Poison

Song We Like: Driftwood Dancer by Slow Poison

You talk like the kind that keeps score. Yeah I keep score and there is nothing but goodness and talent in this track. This is fantastic surf / rockabilly updating – and then there’s this other-worldly yowl that take the song to another dimension. This is the primal essence of soul.

Song We Like: Think Twice by Kitty Tsunami

Song We Like: Think Twice by Kitty Tsunami

These are the cool kids that brought excellent pop songwriting to the Asheville underground scene – and nothing has been the same since then. This is the lead single for their latest album coming out in October. This is all cool hooky indie surf rock with a driving beat whipping it forward. Try not to dance and groove to this track  Featured on our #68 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Nerd Alert by Mad Doctors

Song We Like: Nerd Alert by Mad Doctors

Do you like guitar rock? Do you like have riffs? Mini solos? Fuzzed out waves of distorted guitar? This is awesome metal/punk/glam smashed up and thrown through the wood chipper at a hundred miles an hour! Featured on our #67 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: You Got It, Steve by Haybaby

Song We Like: You Got It, Steve by Haybaby

Simple drums and bass driving this catchy pop song forward. Sweet singing – about the cold put down of Steve. He’s that guy who does all the talking and none of the listening. We kind of think he’s a dick – but we also kind of feeling sorry for him because he’s a lost soul. Anyway – great pop song and we love great pop songs! Featured on our #67 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Livin’ The Dream by The Night Screams

Livin’ The Dream by The Night Screams

Massive walls of distortion and slammed drums – and walls of massive irony. I just spent my last cent – that’s ok because I don’t give a shit. We love a shout along chorus and energy that builds up into a a destructive wave and crashes everywhere. Featured on our #67 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Guilt Birds by Tucker Riggleman

Song We Like: Guilt Birds by Tucker Riggleman

Great American garage rock and a small town West Virginia howl. The voice is worth playing this song over and over – and then there’s the assessment from an honest man that – he couldn’t maintain his self-destructive days. It’s the song of everyone born in a small town and daring to leave, of everyone who dares to be bigger than themselves. This is American  rock-n-roll. Featured on our #67 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: This Terror by The Pack A.D

Song We Like: This Terror by The Pack A.D

The Pack A.D. is our reason for inception. They were one of the first underground bands we loved unconditionally. These two women made it so clear the underground was producing far better music than the mainstream. This is “This Terror.” Enjoy the their trademark bad-ass guitar riffs and drum breaks – and lyrics about murder and fear and death. Except – they don’t care. This Terror tastes like coffee – and can I have another cup?   Featured on our #67 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.
