  • Sidney Gish – “MFSOTSOTR”

    Sidney Gish – “MFSOTSOTR”

    Gish does and says a lot with a little on the acronymically-titled B-side and arguable highlight from the New York-based songwriter’s Sub Pop Singles Club contribution.

    Dougie Poole – “Beth David Cemetery”

    The latest single from the Toronto-based electronic-pop artist’s debut album, ‘GOOD LUCK’, beats faster than the human heart can keep up.

    The first preview from the Santa Cruz alternative hardcore band’s new EP, ‘Psychic Dance Routine’, rips through the scene with even more vigor.

    A sweet, crestfallen drift from the dreamy indie rock duo’s imminent debut EP, ‘extra life’, stargazes into a certain romantic feeling.

  • DRAIN – “Evil Finds Light”

    DRAIN – “Evil Finds Light”

    The lead single from the Santa Cruz’ thrashers’ sophomore LP, ‘Living Proof’, is a healthy way to workout the wreckage of stress and anxiety rather than giving yourself a breakdown.
