New Tunes for the Week
In stores 5/6:
From First To Last self-titled
They’ll be bringing their screamo to all the kids at Warped this summer. Their myspace only has snippets of tracks (lame!), but they have an imeem player with full tracks.
The Long Blondes Couples
This was released in the UK last month - I haven’t been able to find it, so yay for the US release. You might remember that I discovered this band last year at one of my Good Records outings.
No Age Nouns
You can listen to the entire album on their myspace.
The Republic Tigers Keep Color
This band is from KC (where I happen to be this week) and according to their myspace are having a record listening party in KC on Tuesday. I may have to check it out.
((sounder)) Good Things Come and Go Like Bad Things
I missed their record release show in SD last week - boo. But I’ve listened to tracks here and I like.
Impacting songs:
All Time Low - Dear Maria, Count Me In
Pop punk for the younger leaning alt rock stations.
Coldplay - Violet Hill
Most added this week on alt rock stations with 750 spins on 38 stations.
The Matches - Wake The Sun
The Matches are pretty solid live, but they are still waiting for their break on the radio.
My Morning Jacket - Touch Me I’m Gonna Scream Part II
This album is leaky. And even though this is the single, Sirius’s alt rock station is playing the title track “Evil Urges” instead with 41 spins last week.
Offspring - Hammerhead
Ah, more bro-rock.
