The Parrots released their new single "Cigarrette Burns" in late January, functioning as a fresh and up beat come back to 2016's Los Niños Sin Miedo.
The Elvis Costello-esque guitar riff propels the track forward in a winding and vibrant manner. Ev...

The Orielles are an indie rock band that cut through the current climate of endless generic indie rock laced with uninspired lyrics and played out song structures.
No, The Orielles are a band to watch out for. Their fresh brand of guitar pop and in...

"Rockin' Bones" just oozes a bad attitude and an Elvis like swagger. Originially written by Ronnie Dawson, The Cramps add their signature dark and heavily reverberated surf sound.
The guitar tones used aren't as bright as you will typically find acr...

They only have three songs -- which I'm pretty sure I mentioned yesterday after having put up Hobsons Bay Coast Guard's latest single "Wannabe" -- and I might put them all up.

Whimsical, light-hearted, and jeep-with-no-roof-or-doors surfer ready, Caroline Rose's "Soul No. 5" makes you want to jump up and aimlessly flail your arms around. From her Sophomore album titled Loner, this tune evokes a certain unapologetic feminin...
