My love affair with shoegaze probably started back in ~2005 (coincidentally, that was also the year that it peaked on my radar). While that may be more than a decade ago, there's something about the genre that still appeals to me...
That affinity wo...

This isn't just one of my favorite Australian bands going around at the moment; Good Morning might just be one of the more prolific, too! Having recently returned from a visit to this year's CMJ Music Marathon in New York which saw them play 11(!) sh...

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: there's something so appealing about the surf-rock/pop genre, it seems impossible to go wrong.
The latest proof of that point is Philadelphia-based Weekender, a band that emerged back in 2013 but hasn't ca...

If you were to ask me, I'd have to say that surf rock is one of the hardest genres to mess up. And shoegaze is probably a close runner-up.
So, given that DIIV has combined both genres on this new track "Bent (Roi's Song)," one can only expect that i...

Melbourne band DIET's debut single has been a long time in the making; the first musical seeds were sewn a couple of years back with a group of mates on a European holiday. Upon their return, the five young lads formed the band you see today, with th...

Still Parade unveils "Concrete Vision," the first single from his debut album due for release in 2016.
Melancholy, surf rock vibes permeate the synth-heavy song, and I'm really enjoying this dream pop/folk hybrid sound, with lush guitar chords and b...

San Diego’s no newcomer to the beach, and the surf music that comes along with it.
The Gloomies, the latest entry into the world of lo-fi garage rock with reverbed out guitars, percussion, and vocals, are starting to make a mark with their debut tra...
