TweetShare Listen to and download the MP3 of Keep Shelly In Athens‘ new song “DIY” below. Keep Shelly In Athens, the duo from Greece who are making all the right moves lately, are readying their new 12″ EP “Our Own Dream” on Forest Family and just in the last few weeks we’ve heard two tracks from [...]

TweetShare Listen to and download the MP3 of “Lazy Noon” below, the new song by Keep Shelly In Athens. Greek duo Keep Shelly In Athens are getting ready to release their latest 12″ single via Forest Family again, and after we heard the midnight-basement-tinged title track “Our Own Dream” we now have the b-side to [...]

TweetShare It seems like a few hot minutes since Keep Shelly In Athens dropped off some fresh new beats, other than remixes and reworks that is. By my count we haven’t heard any new stuff from the band since March when they released “Yellow Man”, a track found on a Japanese tape  release.  As I [...]

TweetShare This pleases me greatly. Greatly,  I tell thee! Last year the two dudes from Lafayette, Colorado that compromise Gauntlet Hair burst onto the “scene” with the pitch-perfect noise-concoction of debut single “I Was Thinking” and a couple of other jams equally as raucous.  The pair then released the single on vinyl via the newly-minted Forest [...]

TweetShare For those of you (mainly bloggers and writers) who’ve had this album for the last few weeks you’ll know just how good this is. For those of you who haven’t then you’re about to be bedazzled. It’s been over a year since Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin sauntered onto the scene as Cults with [...]

TweetShare I think it’s only fair that since they pushed back the release date of their eagerly-awaited debut album, that they put a new non-album track out there for us to hear, right? The song “Make Time” is listed on the Irish iTunes store as a single with a release date of May 6th meaning [...]

TweetShare With every new song that I hear from Cults, my anticipation-chubby gets that little bit more anticipatory. Does that even make sense? I don’t fucking know, but with the rash of new bands that came out last year and released/are releasing an album this year, Cults and Yuck might be the only two who [...]

TweetShare Unless you’ve seen Cults live in the last 12 months then this new song is the first in close to a year (except that “Oh My God” one they did with accompanying weird video). This time in 2010 they had only just come bounding onto the scene, layered-guitar-driven-dream-pop in tow.  They had upload three [...]

TweetShare Ok, so it’s not new, but relatively few people have heard this as it was the accompanying b-side on their second 7″ single “Out, Don’t..” that was released back in October on Mexican Summer. When I initially got the 7″ I had just a shitty 1979 Light & Sound machine portable turntable that I [...]

TweetShare If Gauntlet Hair released a new jam every week they’d still be six jams short of my Gauntlet Hair satisfaction quota, the one that can only be quelled by new tunes every day of the year. Because I know the chances of that happening are somewhat slim, I’m resorted to waiting (impatiently) for whenever [...]

TweetShare I gush, what can I say?  Sorry?  Ok, maybe sometimes a “sorry” is warranted, but most of the time it’s not because I’m not the only one gushing. The latter part of that sentence is definitely true for Cults.  I gushed back in March when they showed up unannounced out of nowhere and turned us all [...]

TweetShare Along with Gauntlet Hair, Sleigh Bells, BRAHMS, and Burnt Ones, Cults round out my top five buzz bands of the year so far. They burst onto the scene back in late February, early March with three ridiculously catchy songs, the biggest hit of which was “Go Outside”.  This is what appears to be the [...]

TweetShare Cults, the mysterious and much hyped band that burst onto the scene a few weeks back have signed with Forest Family Records.  FFR is a brand new record label, founded by Gorilla vs Bear and Weekly Tape Deck, and their first release is a limited 7″ run of 400 copies of “Go Outside” (the [...]

TweetShare Eight days ago a mysterious, unknown band called Cults uploaded three songs (“Go Outside”, “Most Wanted”, and “The Curse”) to their Bandcamp page that quickly started being passed around the interwebs among bloggers and music fans alike.  The fact that these three songs are pretty damn good but yet little-to-nothing was known about them [...]
