Debut EP for Permeclipse As The Sun Goes Down is out now! The previous singles are joined by new tunes ‘Quiet Breath,’ ‘Never Forget,’ and ‘As the Sun Goes Down.’ I love the arc of this release, it finds moments of calm and space which prepare the heaviness really well. Great melody and riff writing too, all performed very accurately.

Odlaw — Dead on the Inside
Another look at the upcoming Odlaw album Mi(l)d Life Crisis with ‘Dead on the Inside,’ out now on Blue Grey Pink.
Big snare drum, buoyant tempo energy on this one, with that classic Odlaw style that flips a perhaps melancholic sentiment into a party singalong.
You can help a great bunch of folks release this record on vinyl at their Kickstarter.

Brix — Port
Brix ‘Ports’ off the forthcoming Grand Brix is out now.
Four seasoned multi-genre, artist-composer-performer musicians return to their introspective indie-rock roots bringing with them the patience and craft everyone’s high school garage band was lacking. On ‘Ports’ the quartet weaves hooky lyrics over odd meter, a tight kit, and chugging guitars.
‘Ports’ has been added to the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week starting 28th October, 2024.

Gap Year — Where I Came From
Gap Year’s latest single ‘Where I Came From’ gives us a taste of their second album, due in 2025.
This tune hits all the classic Gap Year marks; a driving rhythm section, a memorable hook, a soaring guitar interlude (or two), and an introspective, melancholic but somehow uplifting feeling.
‘Where I Came From’ is in the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week of October 28th, 2024, and drops into the WAM Fresh Picks Playlist.
Out now on Blue Grey Pink.
