The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 231

After a little hiatus and a pretty busy month of June ahead, with plenty of activities and short (luckily!) trips, we take advantage of this quiet Sunday to bring you our last TOP TEN JUKEBOX. A playlist full of exciting tunes, with a summer aftertaste, because we already have it around the corner! We encourage you to immerse yourself into the new proposals and let yourselves be influenced by their evocative rhythms. Hope you enjoy it and remember, all the songs are available at our Soundcloud. (Join Us!)

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 116

Here we are again with a new round of our TOP TEN Jukebox! This time is a playlist with just one "big name", our beloved red-haired La Sera, but with several Blog friends, like the infallible Persian Leaps, Halfsour or Motorama, plus the regular dose of exciting new finds. So, a bunch of tunes to ignite your weekend or just disconnect from the stress and/or the stupidity of the incredible (is getting worse) politic environment in which we are currently living (corruption is infinite... when you vote what you vote). And remember, all songs are available at our Soundcloud page (Join Us!).

Discoverer 134: new indie findings

And here's another round of our discoverer series, this time devoted to three stunning indie rock proposals. Getting heavy, getting awesome, let's hear!

Cayetana. We begin our music trip in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with this trio formed in the fall of 2011 by Augusta Koch, Allegra Anka and Kelly Olsen. Their first release came in the form of a self-titled EP at the end of 2012. Two years later, after signing with Tiny Engines they came out with 7" 'Hot Dad Calendar', which was followed by debut album 'Nervous Like Me', that appeared in September 2014. Now they are back with stunning 7" 'Tired Eyes', out via Asian Man Records, featuring two new tracks: the original 'Freedom 1313' and a cover of New Order’s 'Age Of Consent'. Please hurry and check their music, intense and affecting indie rock with traces of punk, heavy in guitars and stomping rhythms without losing the knack for melodies, but even heavier in something much more important that any genre label: the honesty, the energy, the undeniable feeling here's a real great band with a lot to say. A lot to say to you. Not to be missed. 

Halfsour. Ian Gustafson, Matthew Mara and Zoë Wyner hail from Boston, Massachusetts, and the legend says they started playing together as a Guided By Voices cover band for a Halloween party in 2013. A self-titled, short-run demo tape that May and digital single in December was followed by split 12" EP with Reports, out on Ride The Snake Records in September 2014. All steps towards 'Tuesday Night Live', debut album just released by our friends at Jigsaw Records. Instant indie rock echoing Mr.Pollard, of course, but also a bit of Replacements or New Grenada, quick, effervescent songs full of punch, melody and lasting fun. Winning combination, band to watch for!

WALL. And we end in New York City to introduce you a hype that really deserves all the attention is getting. A four-piece leaded by the fierce vocals and presence of Sam York and literally coming out from nowhere, that doesn't have much information available on the Internet. Yet. Because with the release of their self-titled EP, just now via Wharf Cat Records, this is about to change. Immediately. Pylon, Mission of Burma, The Fall, an uncanny, mind-blowing and energetic blend of post-punk and no-wave, where urgency and rawness, delivered in the frantic vocals, the loping bass or the machine-gun guitar lines collide with an in-your-face melodic power. All in all, such an impressive debut to keep you thrilled with what comes next. All eyes (and ears) on WALL.

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 86

Maybe the bands proposed at our weekly; TOP TEN Jukebox won't be at Primavera Sound but they all have extraordinary tunes and would have been great additions to the line-up! From the anger of our beloved The Coathangers (really looking forward for the album) to the talented Martha Ffion, or the exciting Antipopdean rhythms of Day Ravies, this playlist isn't going to let you down! As always, all these songs are available at our Soundcloud, so check it out and join us!
