Daily Jam - He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)

Here's some girl group wall-of-sound vibes to start your week to.  Listen to The Crystals' excellent, if not a little problematic, "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)" below, our Daily Jam.

A Shrine to Failure

Here's some poppy darkwave from the perfectly goth named German duo A Shrine to Failure.  Listen to "The Clock that Never Turns" below and download the band's new "Undone" album here.

Daily Jam - Damaged Goods

Happy Father's Day everyone.  Here's some Gang of Four.  Listen to "Damaged Goods" below, our Daily Jam.

Ben LaMar Gay

The good folks over at International Anthem just released the latest album from Ben LaMar Gay, and "Yowzers" is a wonderful mix of jazz and soul...basically the kind of thing you come to expect from Ben LaMar Gay.  Dig on the soulful title track below and get the LP here.

Daily Jam - (Don't Fear) The Reaper

While certainly funny, in a lot of ways the SNL "Cowbell Sketch" kind of ruined Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper."  And that's really a shame, but it's an all-timer of a track.  So we're taking it back.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Nightshift

Glasgow post punk band Nightshift just dropped two new tracks today that you can download here and donate to Children Not Numbers, a non-profit group on the ground providing aid to children in Gaza.  Check out "Dice" and Firefly" below and be sure to donate here.

Friday Horror Trailer - Jason X

Daily Jam - Shake Your Blood

In 2004, Dave Grohl got to record an album where he played drums for all of his heavy metal heroes called Probot.  It must have been pretty rad in that studio.  Here he is with Motorhead legend, the late, great Lemmy Kilmister on "Shake Your Blood," our Daily Jam.

The New Eves

UK four-piece The New Eves are set to release their debut full-length LP, "The New Eve Is Rising," in August on Transgressive Records.  The group's musical style is a cello-laden mix of no wave punk, avant garde rock, and English folk, weird and wonderful stuff.  Check out new tune "Cow Song" below and pre-order the record here.

Daily Jam - Hell

Houston electronic and darkwave artist Twisted Wires only released a handful of tracks throughout the '10s, most notably for Johnny Jewel's Italians Do It Better label.  But my favorite appeared on Texas electronic mix compilation from 2010.  Listen to the brooding and mysterious "Hell" below, our Daily Jam.
