The Twilight Sad

Alright everybody, it's time to transport ourselves back to the '00s, the heyday of indie rock, music blogs, and festivals.  Scotland's The Twilight Sad was there.  And they're here now again with new album "It's the Long Goodbye."  Check out the anthemic "Attempt a Crash Landing - Theme" below, rediscover that youthful angst and vigor, and grab the LP here from Rock Action Records.

bdrmm

UK band bdrmm made a lot of waves among shoegaze fans a couple of years ago, and now they're back early next year with new album "Microtonic."  On first single "John on the Ceiling," the dreamy shoegaze aesthetic is still there but with some added electronic twitchiness to go along.  It's wonderful.  Listen to the track below and pre-order the upcoming LP here from Rock Action Records.

Arab Strap

Well all right, new music from Arap Strap.  Listen to "Bliss" below and pre-order April's "I'm Totally Fine with It👍Don't Give a Fuck Anymore👍" here from Rock Action Records.

bdrmm

UK shoegaze band bdrmm are back later this year with new record "I Don't Know."  On "It's Just a Bit of Blood," the band spruce up their sound with some post punk punch and some Radiohead-adjacent melodies.  Check the song out below and pre-order the album here from Rock Action Records.

Xander Harris

Austin's Justin Sweatt, otherwise known as dark, disco-synth purveyor Xander Harris has a new album out today on Rock Action.  "California Chrome" pulses and oozes, a kind of sweaty, bleeding disco or techno music for dance halls surrounded by barbed wire.  Listen to "Buckle Bunny" below.
