“Handmedown”
Trashy. Lo-fi. Fun as hell.
Pick up the entire awesomely great Ilk EP from these UK slack-rockers over at bandcamp.

Native Slacker
“Native Slacker”
What is going on in San Diego? Or what is going on with me liking everything I hear from there? Let’s make a list:
1. The weather is outstanding.
2. San Diego means whale’s vagina.
3. The Mission Cafe has awesome Huevos Rancheros Verde.
Also, the band Native Slacker is from there and if you like drone-y punk’d fuzzed out slackerable tunes, then you might dig this. You might even dig San Diego. Get it.

The Heurs
“The Best Thing”
Here is a really odd track. The first 2 min are like some really catchy demo of an early 90’s radio ready/sitcom theme pop song and then it abruptly changes… I just keep listening to it. I just keep listening. Get it.

“Slacking Scholar”
Stumbled upon this Toronto four piece a few days ago ”Slacking Scholar” sounds exactly like what I think of when I hear the phrase “indie rock”. That mid to late 90’s catchy rock that’s not too heavy but Big Muff heavy nonetheless sound.
The 90’s was a time when a lot of bands used to come up with interesting guitars parts for each song that didn’t sound exactly like the track before. Sports aren’t ripping from that past time, but elevating the game of a band who can obviously do a whole lot more than the status quo.
The recording itself is pretty slamming as well, it’s not easy getting big guitars AND big drums, well done Peter Chapman, well done. Check it.

The Gytters
“The Running Of The Bulls”
Stumbled upon this yesterday and love pretty much eveything about it. The bass line, the vocal, and the fuzz guitars from this Brooklyn group all works so well together as a blissful laid back afternoon track.
I was also pretty stoked when I realized they are playing with Sundress on Friday 10/7 at Glasslands, a show I was already planning on going to…you should join me.

Tearjerker
“So Dead”
I’m digging the upbeat pop turn Toronto’s Tearjerker has taken on this new single. It’s like music for a montage of parts of your life that have not yet happened…
On Nov. 15th their new full length, Rare, drops. If “So Dead” is any indication, you should get pysched…now

Turnip King (x-Beach Moms)
“Seasons”
Some things are just simple and fun and don’t require a lot of thought. After listening to “Seasons” from Sea Cliff NY’s Turnip King (who recently changed their name from Beach Moms) about a dozen times, it is still as vibrant as it was the first time through.
Sure we have all heard that fuzzy surf garage sound done and done again to death over the last few years, but something about Lucia Arias’s vocals make this just a little more memorable, a little more fun.
It’s starting to feel like summer. Get it.

Wavves
“Hippies is Punks”
I agree 100% with everything below
Wavves’ “Hippies is Punks”, is the latest track off of Adult Swim’s 2012 singles program. Ever since his Life Sux EP, I have been loving every single move Nathan Williams has been making, and this track continues his trend towards to fuzzy 90’s pop, at it’s loudest and most anthemic. Reminds me very much of Pinkerton-era Weezer.
