What’s up? Hope your week is going well. If you haven’t checked it out already, I posted a big ol’ list of reviews earlier this week for your perusal.
As for today, here’s what I’ve got after digging through the new release bin.
I’ve reviewed the new “mini-EP” from Footballhead already on the site. I like it quite a bit and will be circling back to listen to it some more this week for sure.
Power-pop fans have some records to dive into with the new Teenage Tom Petties and the crunchy Weezer/Rozwell Kid-esque COWBOY BOY.
Caught a song off that Pixey album this morning and the hazy widescreen pop hooks piqued my interest for sure.
Assumed that a band named Blood was going to be hardcore or metal or something but sounds more like indie rock to me, will have to give it a whirl.
Also reviewed DNB/Jungle act Kloke earlier this year. They’re back with “an 8 track voyage into the outer reaches of Jungle’s far reaching atmosphere.” Sounds good to me.
What are you excited to listen to? What am I missing from my list? Let me know!
As always, please reach out on the hellsite if you’d like or better yet join the Rosy Overdrive Discord server where I can be found now and again. You can also find me in the corners of Rate Your Music scrounging for obscure emo, hardcore, indie-rock and pop-punk.
