Some Velvet Sidewalk

This June brings about the triumphant return of '90s indie rock band Some Velvet Sidewalk.  "Critters Encore" is the first new material from the band since 1997.  Check out the noisy, brooding, old school "Don't Fuck with Your Luck" below and pre-order the LP here from Perennialdeath.

Touch Girl Apple Blossom

And now for a little jangle pop from Austin's Touch Girl Apple Blossom.  The band's new album "Graceful" is due in May.  Pre-order it here from Perennialdeath and listen to the sunshiny pop of "The Springtime Reminds Me Of..." below.

Sharp Pins

Chicago's Sharp Pins make the kind of pop that sticks in my ears like sugary sweet candy, a delightful and infectious mix of jangle pop, college rock, psych folk, and timeless hummable, melancholy melodies.  The band's new album "Radio DDR" is out now.  Get it here from Perennialdeath and listen to the excellent "You Don't Live Here Anymore" below.

The Smashing Times

Sounding like something that might have come out the '80s underground in either London or Athens, GA, Baltimore's The Smashing Times combine elements of jangle pop, post punk, and mod psychedelia to craft little nuggets of sound to stay in your hearts and heads for days.  Check out new tune "Tarts and Vicars" below, and pre-order this fall's new album "Mrs Ladyships and the Cleanerhouse Boys" here from Perennialdeath.

Feeling Figures

Here's a new one from Montreal indie band Feeling Figures.  Dig on "Swimming" below and pre-order the group's upcoming new album "Everything Around You" here from Perennialdeath.
