Soma Crew is based out of York and has a new "twin" vinyl release, Out of Darkness/Into Light courtesy Vinyl Eddie Records. The 12 songs are all around 5 minutes, give or take. I haven't listened to the whole thing, but the four or five tracks I listened to are rad. Psych in a Brian Jonestown Massacre vein.
Here's a video for their single, "Mighty Forces:"
Uchylak is from Wroclaw, Poland. Going back to 2019, he has eight albums and eight EPs on Bandcamp, and I love an artist who is so prolific that his friends tell him "I can't keep up with your output." I can relate.
Super-cool instrumental electronic music, the artist says it's "a mix of techno-industrial, ambient, drone and lo fi." This song has a Ministry vibe I love:
The Poppermost is a one-man band from Glasgow with a new album due out on the 30th called Hits To Spare, which will be made available on vinyl and CD in the US courtesy Think Like A Key Music. A Beatles/Bands Influenced By The Beatles-influenced project, "Up Against It" is the B-Side of the first single:
Velvet Blue Music is a label out of Huntington Beach, California, I'm interested in digging into their catalog a little more. There's a number of bands on their Bandcamp page from the DFW and Texas. I love this track from Dallas artist Bethan, whom I've never heard of. An eerie jazz vocal:
I look forward to listening to more of the Velvet Blue Music catalog soon.
Here in the Year of our Lorb 2021, there are so many people making so much music. What a time to be alive. And you'll never listen to it all. It's a wild scene, man.
The False Positives are out of Rochester, NY, and I have been there twice. They've got a really cool record store called The Record Archive that has a bar in it.
This is The False Positive's eighth digital single release since December 2018. Fun lo-fi power pop:
Swedish duo Pink Milk have got to be going places. Gothy shoegaze, reverb to the max -- and what a fun video:
That's half a month's worth of quality submissions right there. I'll try for the other half of July submissions here soon.
Dallas grindcore act Pissed Grave has a new 10 song album streaming on bandcamp that I'm excited about.
Speaking of punk in Texas, these guys are from Fort Worth. Pill Binge is probably the coolest name for a band ever. Pill Binge will be playing with Pissed Grave and some other hardcore acts, including Lycanthropy from the Czech Republic, on May 10 at Three Links in Dallas.
More grind from Edinburgh's awesome Mind Ripper Collective:
These Boston punks are charging $20 for their mp3. Go 'head on, then:
Sauna Youth's new record will be out in June, here's a track from it they've released already:
Here's another one from Sauna Youth, this one from 2013:
CNQ fave pop-punkers Dot Dash have a new album:
Dirtnap Records is offering a digital dl of 20 Mean Jeans singles. How fun is that:
CNQ's favorite freak-out artist Anklepants is touring Europe and has key dates set for the U.S. - he urges U.S. promoters to get in touch with him at facebooking@qwerty.net.au.
