Mostly new meaning some of these tracks date all the way back to 2009, before the WalCast even existed! Wow, time flies when you're old like me. Anyhoo, got a bunch of good new tunes for all you music lovers out there this episode, and most of the albums represented here are worth picking up. Hopefully you'll find something here that tickles your fancy. Just FYI, I think #13 is going to be all cover tunes, and for #14 I'm gonna dig around in the archives for some older stuff, just for a change of pace. You know the routine - stream at the top, download at the bottom. Same ol' same 'ol.
This week's tracks are...
Nothin' - Fortune - This band has been around since the late 70's, with a seriously long hiatus from the 80's to the early-mid 2000's. This track is from this year's Staring at the Ice Melt.
Seasons - Medications - From the D.C. band's third album, 2010's Completely Removed.
Flaming Arrow - Jupiter One - From the Brooklyn indie group's debut full length Sunshower.
Animal - Neon Trees - First single from this Provo, UT band's debut Habits.
In Pieces - Mae - This Norfolk, VA band is putting out three EP's entitled (m)orning, (a)fternoon, and (e)vening (get it?). This is from the the middle one.
Sick Muse - Metric - Emily Haines' primary outfit from 2009's Fantasies.
Blue-Eyed Universe - Fictionist - Another Utah band from their 2010 debut, Lasting Echo.
Certain Circles - Hello=Fire - Solo project from Dean Fertita. He plays with Queens of the Stone Age, The Dead Weather, and in Brendan Benson's touring band, to name a few. Benson co-wrote this tune and produced the self-titled album.
Please Take Your Time - General Fiasco - From the debut album of this Northern Ireland band, Buildings.
Excuses - Deas Vail - Arkansas pop/rock band from the album Birds and Cages.
Wings - Das Pop - Belgian indie pop band from their self-titled debut.
Lying Around - Cassette Kids - Australian music rocks, and this Sydney band is no exception. From their 2010 debut Nothing on TV.
Heads Up, Hearts Down - I Fight Dragons - If you take nothing else away from this show, take this Chicago band and hide them in your heart. They make great pop music with a little help from actual Nintendo game music. Yeah, that's right. And they rock. No album yet, just singles. This is from the 2010 SXSW compilation. New favorite band name.
King of Rome - Goldheart Assembly - London pop group from their 2010 debut, Wolves and Thieves, not the track from Kitchens and Bathrooms' first EP, The Sound and the Furry.
Fear From Death - Kyte - English post-rock group (what does that mean, anyway, "post-rock"?) from 2010's Dead Waves.
You may, if you wish, download this unforgettable show here.
Liked the songs by Medications and Neon Trees. Medications reminded me of the Police and NT sounded like the Strokes. LOVE the name I Fight Dragons too but I wish the song was not so generic.
