Bass Drum of Death Classic Cover Track

curiosityisthecure:

Everyone loves GB City, don’t try to deny it. The album simply kicks too much ass. So check out the T. Rex cover they just posted on their blogspot for additional ear candy, and let this song take you somewhere where it’s always summer.

After spending the past four days listening to burnt out hippies attempt to play their acoustic guitars at Grassroots, it is good to rest my eyes and ears with some lovely garage rock…

Mikal Cronin Announces Self-Titled Album and Tour Dates

letsgetbent:

By Ryan Yelencsics

September 20th brings what is already a highly anticipated new Mikal Cronin LP. The reason I say ”highly anticipated” is because it could not possibly end up being anything but great, considering he enlists help from Ty Segall, Eric Bauer, and John Dwyer to deliver psyched, melodic jams that are sure to be on a whole new level. Pick up the record when it is released on Trouble In Mind, and check out Mikal on tour with Ty Segall throughout the next couple of months. Peek at the dates below:

Real Estate to Release New Album

letsgetbent:

By Ryan Yelencsics

Real Estate hails from the suburbs of New Jersey, where sunny beaches and backyard pool parties inspire a theme that is reoccurring in their previous releases. Even though the new album Days was recorded throughout the bitter, cold winter of upstate New York where I just so happen to reside, these guys are Jersey boys through and through, and their new single “It’s Real” is proof that their sound is not about to change. You can listen/download the track above and hear it again when the album releases on October 18th. Check out the tracklist after the cut.

Talking to Tim

By Ryan Yelencsics

“It’s just me in my room, slowly dying. But it’s fun; it’s what I do. Some people build toothpick statues and model airplanes. I just happen to do this.”

Tim Presley is a man that is making his own mark in the industry. Aside from his time spent playing guitar in the band Darker My Love, Tim has also churned out two lengthy LP’s for his solo endeavor, White Fence. Growing up in sunny California, Tim is a seasoned musician, playing and performing in bands since his youth. “I never really decided that I was going to be a musician; I just kind of always have been from like 9 on. I was in a Spanish rock band when I was 9 called Pato Domingo. 2 strings, nylon strings.”

As we sat and talked on some random stoop in downtown Rochester where he had just performed for maybe ten or fifteen people but was still in good spirits, I could not help but be puzzled at the fact that he was enjoying himself, despite having traveled all the way across the country to get to this rather uninteresting town.
