Our weekly (weakly?) discovery of worthy new releases. Enjoy!

STRANGE WILDS – SUBJECTIVE CONCEPTS

A musical power-trio from Olympia, Washington on Sub Pop? Are you thinking what I’m thinking? The return of Seattle Grunge! Uh-huh. About frigging time too.

ELEVENTH DREAM DAY – WORKS FOR TOMORROW

All this talk of a guitar rock revival belies the fact that veteran bands like Eleventh Dream Day are still delivering kickass music! Here’s one, the young upstarts to take notes from.

DUCKTAILS – ST. CATHERINE

Here’s one to chill out to – very lush & sophisticated indie-psych-dream pop-rock. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon, in fact.

VERUCA SALT – GHOST NOTES

Talking about a 90s rock revival, here’s the reunion album of Veruca Salt, sounding smashing in a beefy Brad Wood production. First rate songs that make the years melt away.

BEST FRIENDS – HOT. RECKLESS. TOTALLY INSANE

More actual evidence of a 90s rock revival comes in the form of Sheffield’s Best Friends. Fuzzy guitars, knowing pop tunes and punk rhythms. It’s happening, boys and girls!

EZTV – CALLING OUT

Power pop band hailing from Brooklyn, that has a good handle of 90s pop underground dynamics viz. infectious melodies, jangly guitar tones and sophisticated chord changes. Highly promising.
