Super raw, but very promising The Spinal Chords’ first single “Til We Come” shows extreme promise of a powerhouse of the Pebbles style proto-punk. Well worth checking out so you can say you were there before they blew up.

Another 90’s genre that’s been sparking a lot of interest lately is the overwhelming amount of slacker rock that’s been coming from both coasts. Meanwhile bands like The Widowers, rather than playing songs directly out of the Pavement songbook are…

While the song title might sound like a questionable Google search, NEW EViL’s “Pale Skin Latin Girls” is one of those songs that brings in the right amount of diverse sounds from RiotGrrrl to haunted blown out garage rock. After…

All the way back in the 1900’s, I came across Kathryn Musilek’s solo album at a local record shop. Having liked all the other bands I had heard on Bi-Fi records up to that point, I quickly bought it and…

Toronto’s Possum is a 4 piece psych-rock band who just put out their first EP last week. High energy with big waves of psychedelic reverb, this is definitely a band to check out.

This spectral rocker by Austin, TX’s Lasso Spells is both haunting an in your face at the same time. With enough grit and reverb to spare, the song manages to be catchy as tell without pandering.

Another great track from 60’s pop revivalists Fascinations Grand Chorus, another stomper that’s both catchy and sincere. Definitely well worth checking out!

I’ll be honest the first 5 seconds that I heard of this song rang of the insincerity of 90% of the garage rock revivalists around these days. Playing up the trappings of the genre without going into the feeling or…

Hard and edgy Milkpunch’s “Butterflies in my Head” remind you of all the good things that came out of the 90’s alternative scene, without feeling forced or like a nostalgia trip. It’s definitely a band to keep an eye out…

According to their biography, We Are Not Pop Music is: “the representation of the effect produced by pop culture on thought and aesthetics, which we highlight juxtaposing style symbols considered strong, when seen on their own, but that are weak…

Great single from NYC’s ex-mothers features massive riffs, skittering beats and oddly timed harmonies. Makes me think of late 70’s punk in a sense of liberation of the music rather than the uniformity of modern punk. Highly recommended. Looks like…

bruiser queen is a great 60’s influenced garage rock duo that’s been hitting the Midwest hard for a number of years now. With great ability to create dynamic and dancey songs with great studio built harmonies they are guaranteed not…

There is such a small window between pastiche and tongue and cheek mimicry that most times people confused the former for the later. However there are also times where it just doesn’t matter because it’s just too damn good of…

Bleach Girls’ debut single “Like You” exhibits all the best trappings of west coast garage rock with the swagger of the ’77 New York scene. The song has monster riffs, catchy melodies and tight female/male harmonies that you just don’t…

Full discoloser, I’ve seen the movie Night of the Living Dead more times than I’d care to admit publically, so honestly this song already had a strike against it. However Morricone Youth’s reimagining of the score as a 80’s horror…
