Lemondaze – Neon Ballroom

Tom

Originally from Cambridge but now based in London Lemondaze have been gigging for a couple of years now. Neon Ballroom is the band’s debut single and I guess all that gigging has paid off as this is a blistering effort. There is more than a nod to the the shoegazers of years past but there are also elements of those bands who followed prior to the Britpop explosion. Someone on Bandcamp makes reference to Bleach and that’s not a bad shout. If you like your shoegaze intense and noisy then Neon Ballroom should be right up your street.

Tea Room – Devil May Care

Tom

Canadian band Tea Room are releasing a new EP at the end of the week entitled Dress Up, a title which is surely behind their belief that the world is just a huge costume party and we’re all playing erm, dress up! The EP is a mix of songs old and new with Devil May Care being the only taster for the EP released to date. It’s a noisy DIY power-pop song that suggests the rest of the EP is going to be just as good – probably! You can pre-order Dress Up from here. Facebook Continue reading Tea Room – Devil May Care

Mons Regalis – Lo Que Pasó

Tom

Lo Que Pasó is the second single from Mexican band Mons Regalis whose music has been previously described as dreampop/shoegaze. Personally I cannot hear any of that but what I do hear is an alternative/indie song that has some fine guitar riffs, catchy vocals, a bit of distortion and some noise. That sounds like a slab of perfect pop to me! Lo Que Pasó is out now digitally via Stupid Decisions ( Mexico) and Hikikomori Discos (Argentina) Continue reading Mons Regalis – Lo Que Pasó

Fresh – Cinema Woes

Tom

Cinema Woes was recorded at the same time as Fresh were recording their debut album Withdraw which was released back in June. It’s short, sharp pop-punk tune with an energetic burst despite the anxiety behind the words. All proceeds from sales of the song goes to Beat, which is an eating disorders charity. Go and part with some pennies for a worthy cause as well as a cracking tune. Facebook Continue reading Fresh – Cinema Woes

Blussh – Shut Up Becky!

Tom

The debut EP from Brisbane’s Blussh is a fast-paced, grunge and riot grrrl influenced EP. It’s not for the faint of heart as they come at you in droves with noisy and shouty tunes about sad girls, mental health and erm, a big dong – they are not short on humor and put-downs either. Not sure who Becky is but she had better shut up whilst I give this punk-pop frenzy another spin. That said it’s so loud I doubt I could hear her! Homepage Continue reading Blussh – Shut Up Becky!

Audiobaton – Where You Are

Tom

Where You Are by Dallas based Audiobaton is a fuzzy, distorted and noisy shoegaze EP. Alongside the obvious strengths that lie within the songs there are plenty of reference points such as Loop, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Darkside and My Bloody Valentine to name but a few. There are also more than a few nods in the direction of drone and to a lesser extent psychedelia. Songs such as Here and I’ll Run are excellent and should be on any discerning listeners shoegazing playlist but everything on this EP is worth a listen or five. Where You Are is … Continue reading Audiobaton – Where You Are

Fuzzy Monday

Tom

Overdriver – Slow in Winter Australian shoegaze act Overdriver’s latest single features two tracks. Stuck In A Dream is a song that works it way from the ground up being a slow building and burning track complete with haunting vocals courtesy of Daniela Angione Farren from the band Submotile. The title track and flip side is more traditional shoegazing fare, resplendent with some fuzzy guitar. Twitter Lacing – Swirl Swirl is the second single to be taken from Lacing’s forthcoming album Without. It’s a grunge influenced, guitar laden track that errs on the heavier side of alt-rock thanks to the … Continue reading Fuzzy Monday
