I stumbled upon San Diego’s Mrs. Magician completely by accident, and hot damn… this album rules. Their album ‘Spiritual Hangover‘ hits like a shot of cheap tequila chased with a sugary pop-rock mixer… burning at first, but leaving you desperately craving another round. As a newcomer to their sound, I expected the heavy, moody kinda […]

Lovebirds by Birds Flying Backwards
‘Lovebirds’ by Birds Flying Backwards is a welcoming surprise to my ears this week, from start to finish. This six-piece London-based alt-country ensemble has managed to craft a delightfully sunny, 70s-style, indie-folk rockin’ with some slightly jammy kinda stuff that makes for a groovy record that feels completely lighthearted and endlessly joyful. The vocals blend […]

More Ego by Third Ego
‘More Ego‘ by Amsterdam’s Third Ego proves that if your local therapist has been telling you to manage your ego, they are completely wrong. Released at White Russian Records, this second full-length record shows exactly how to turn an existential crisis into an absolute basement-party rager. Created in the underground of Amsterdam’s historic Vondelbunker, this […]
Figure It Out! EP – Public Figures
The ‘Figure It Out! EP’ by Public Figures immediately slaps you across the face with explosive energy with every song and refuses to apologize. From the very first second, the band unleashes a wave of those signature DIY-garage-punk hooks so sharp they should probably come with a warning label mixed with that right amount of […]
REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE by Genesis Owusu
REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE by Genesis Owusu is the closest thing I can think of to musical shape-shifting that proves this stellar Australian-Ghanaian artist is incapable of making a boring record. This record has a little bit of everything you want and a whole lot of what you need. It’s crazy cool music, […]
Back Room by Fellow Kinsman
‘Break Room’ by Milwaukee’s Fellow Kinsman hits ya like opening a window to let the summer breeze in after being trapped in a musty basement all winter. This collection of songs blends all the best parts of psych, surf, indie, and alternative rock, which the band calls “land-locked surf rock” and hits the eardrums like […]
Tearless, thoughtless by Nara’s Room
‘Tearless, thoughtless‘ by Nara’s Room has dropped straight onto our stereos to rescue us from musical boredom. For a record sporting such a wonderfully gloomy title, these tracks deliver a surprisingly joyful ride packed with energetic hooks that demand to be played at a volume that will thoroughly amuse your roommates. The artist has expertly […]
Honest Work by Odd Beholder
Honest Work by Odd Beholder floats in on shimmering synths, crisp beats, and vocals so cool and controlled they could probably calm down a localized robot uprising or at least convince a smart fridge to stop judging your midnight snack choices. Every track feels polished without becoming sterile, like someone meticulously ironed a disco ball […]

The wait is finally over… East L.A. indie-rock badasses Ear Ringers have dropped their highly anticipated album, ‘Keep It To Yourself‘, straight into our ears. For a record titled after a request for absolute secrecy, these tracks demand to be played at a volume that will thoroughly annoy your neighbors. The band has expertly leveled […]
