“I grew up in a small town in Sussex, South England. I’d go to Brighton or London for punk shows in my teens. I remember some kids handing me a zine during a show that included information about squatting, hitchhiking, and dumpster diving, and I was pretty fascinated by that. “

“Tucson duo Golden Boots (Ryen Eggleston and Dimitri Manos) make appealing, low-fi indie rock that’s been baked in the Southwest sun. Their new album Liquid Ranch is out in April and this is the twangy new single that’s overflowing with ramshackle charm.”

“Staying true to their essence, Grampfather’s new album wavers between abrasive rockers and chill indie vibes. As such, the album, like their live shows, is sure to keep listeners on their toes.”

“Fans of Ween will find plenty to appreciate in this song, which incorporates bouncy, oddball pop with indie and psych rock. Catchy vocals and jangly guitar give the song a dreamy and druggy quality…”

Tin Can Collective is back with a new EP for the new year, A Brief Look At Rising Tides.

Though Shalom Toy captures
frustration on “Same Side,” her latest single as Silvering, she explores these ideas with impressive grace—the track sounds vaguely lenient on Radiohead or even Coldplay in the same way IAN SWEET’s music is, while Toy’s longing vocals recall those of Soccer Mommy. All of which is written out in an intentionally honest light, with Toy’s heartfelt lyrics pairing well with dramatic string arrangements courtesy of Collin Dupree.

“Usie lays down dreamy vocals that bring to mind the slower works of Ween and even My Morning Jacket’s Jim James while also standing out as unique. What makes the song especially intriguing is the addition of fiddle by Louis Michot and pedal steel by Jonny Campos, both of rich add a deeper dimension to the sound and keep it close to its Louisiana roots.”

“Few songwriters can successfully contextualize large issues with the humor and humanity of Padilla. There are shadows of the warped sensibilities of Frank Zappa and George Clinton throughout his songs, a similar singular vibe: literally no-one else could have made this album.”
