SINGLE REVIEWS – Esom vs New Manic Spree
SINGLES: Oulu, Finland brings us this band called ESOM (Empire State Of Music). We’ll cap their name for good measure so there is no confusion. The guitars are loud and vocals are fem-pop. Straight-up, melodic and enjoyable music. Totally like-able compared to some of the real crap we get around here day in and day out. I don’t know anything about the climate in their town but if this music is any indication they don’t let it get them down. For us Americans this 5 piece all have weird names except for Lisa the singer. The rest of the dudes have names like Jukka and Topias. This is very chipper music yet they are got guitars that are way up in the mix. Anyway here’s their single called “Out the Door” and a video by them called “Comfort Zone”. Check it out and enjoy the happy. RIYL: The Cranberries, B-52’s, Belly BONUS TRACK From Melbourne Australia today we bring you a new video called “Ghosts” by indie-rock band called New Manic Spree that was shot on this desolated island of 65 people. Pretty decent tune featured people in red bandanas running from this smoke monster with weird feet and a long wicked beak. The tune itself has nice synths that bleep and carry you to this weird place. Pleasantly unsettling the kind of music you might want to watch some weird montage of animation sprawling into space with as well. You would not turn the station. RIYL: Bloc Party,Radiohead circa King of Limbs, STREAM –...New Single – Mazzy Star “California” + The Dplan
SINGLES: A new MAZZY STAR album of their’s comes out September 24th called Seasons of Your Day on September 24th their own label, Rhymes of an Hour. So there you have something to look forward to when this forsaken weather chills out. We love us Hope Sandoval. The JESUS AND MARY CHAIN W/ HOPE SANDOVAL- Sometimes Always (live,late show with David Letterman,1994) Up next to add to the excitement the Dismemberment Plan has new one too! Listen here “Waiting“.

Singles: “Taste the Diff” by Obits + Those Foreign Kids
SINGLE REVIEWS: Fuck, I know it was Bon Scott’s Birthday the other day but Rick’s voice is sounding a little blown out like he’s just had to many smokes or he’s on the whiskey. It’s a really gritty throbbing song and love it that way so we’re sincerely looking forward to Bed & Bugs (subpop) coming out on Sept 10th. This is quality rocknroll and just when you think it’s done it comes right back at ya! Long time coming… DOWNLOAD: Taste the Diff MP3 by Obits Next up are Those Foreign Kids doming something special from Oslo Norway with a song called “Get Eaten” because we think you’re special. It’s a little punky like early Alice Donut or the soundtrack to the movie repo man/em>. You know like that is a fucking thing? It’s distant and big like it was recorded in a huge hall with tiny microphones. This is the First single off their upcoming debut album called Zero Gravity Somersaulting Craze coming out this fall on Geertruida: www.geertruida.net. Enjoy. Get Eaten by Those Foreign Kids HANG THE DOG – ALICE DONUT – Fuck ya!

Single Review: We Are Scientists “Something About you”
MUSIC REVIEW: oh this band… Lots of harmonies and nice guitar with subtle touches alla Johnny Marr; are what is We Are Scientists. This new A-Side is strictly for indie pop fans. “Something About You” is coming out on heavy 7″ wax via 100% Records and it sounds the most like Death Cab for Cutie to us. It’s the tenor of the versus that on first spin this is made clear. 2nd listen you hear all the little stuff that makes them cool. In particular off the album Change I guess. Granted there are only 3 chords in most recorded rock music and so many notes you still can’t help but dig their sense of happy song. You know if Nada Surf were ever happy about a potential relationship or Gedge were not a pompous ass you would get music like these guys make. It’s not shout out for Glee happy with rainbows shooting out of your ass. The vibe does make think a little bit of when your girl was blowing bubbles at you. That feeling – you know happy. Not sure about the B-Side on this one. So can’t tell you anything except it’s called “Let Me Win”. While the band works out the details for their next release they are giving you this. Bassist Chris Cain mentions in the press release: “The new album’s finished, but we’re taking our time setting up the release, and we wanted to get something new to fans on the sooner side.” “I guess ‘charity single’ is the wrong word for this,” said singer Keith Murray, “since none of the money...
