Japandroids are back with “The House That Heaven Built” off of the upcoming Celebration Rock…let me say that again: off of the upcoming Celebration Rock. Finally, some new Japandroids. Jesus, it’s been too long men! I need my anthemic summer garage jams back and it…
Diamond Rugs – Gimme A Beer If Cobain gave up stringing obscure words together and just got straight to the point, you’d roughly have “Gimme A Beer” by Diamond Rugs. It’s mostly unadulterated garage rock (there are some horns, oh my!), and it’s subject matter…
Slaves are a UK garage rock band with definitive punk leanings that I had the pleasure of receiving in my inbox a bit back. It’s pure rock, no frills, all thrills. “Wishing Well” and it’s fuzzy riff roll through the speakers nicely, and beneath the…

The Capstan Shafts – Degenerate Era Sweetheart The Capstan Shafts are bedroom lo-fi on roids. Or it could just be that Dean Wells has been doing this for a while longer than some of you have been listening to Nirvana. The latest release from the…
Juvenile from betty airs on Vimeo. Betty Airs are a fairly new band I’ve seen pop up on Write, Cook, Listen and We All Want Someone To Shout For. These dudes are a guitar rock band that has some great hooks and awesome melodies that sound…
Some of you may remember one of our favorite new bands, The Dead Ships, and their self-titled EP we talked about recently. For those of you who do not there is no shame in jumping on this bandwagon now. It’s just started rolling and if…
