Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Goddamn Wolves Release New Single: “Intervention”
Gooddamn Wolves’s new single, “Intervention”, takes me back to the 1990’s with their mix of indie rock and pop punk that reminds me something that I would have heard on Sub Pop Records back in the day. Maybe like Gumball or The Lemonheads mixed with The Vaselines?
Recalculating Releases Single: Based on the Comedy of Ray Romano
Recalculating’s new album, Do You Like to Laugh, opens with their single, “Based on the Comedy of Ray Romano” which immediately reminded me of one of my favorite bands from Baltimore, Landspeedrecord! mixed with Nation of Ulysses mixed with The Talking Heads i.e. good fucking shit!
TWINFLAME Releases New Single: “Good Girls Go 2 Heaven”
It’s like a chaotically aggressive distorted dance dirge.
LIINES Release New Single: “Holding On”
LIINES’ newest single, “Holding on,” is a gripping song with a plethora of wonderful nuances that had me locked in throughout the whole song.
Die Feen Release New Single: “Pencils”
Digging Die Feen and their new song “Pencils” a second-wave gothic styled rock band with some punk undertones that remind me of The Damned.
Kathook Release New EP: Embrace the Madness
Okay. Just what the fuck? This is the sort of weird, rad as fuck music that would have easily fit onto Alternative Tentacles or SST back in the day.
Marisa Bloom Releases New Single: “Dairy Queen”
Marisa Bloom’s new song, “Dairy Queen” starts off giving off strong rockabilly vibes wrapped in a punk leather jacket.
Nihiloceros Release New Song: “Purgatory (Summer Swim)”
I just reviewed “Penguin Wings” by Nihiloceros a short bit ago, so I was stoked to receive a new song so soon after. “Purgatory (Summer Swim)” is another fucking sick tune.
Ryan Cassata and The Top Surgeons Release New EP: This Machine Kills Transphobia
Ryan Cassata with band, The Top Surgeons, provide us an EP that is a dope mix of punk, folk, grunge, indie rock, and a pure fucking awesome.
Love Ethic Releases New Song: “The Mind is Cleansed Through the Mouth”
What can I say about Love Ethic’s newest single, “The Mind is Cleansed Through the Mouth”? For one it’s the song about my grandmother washing my mouth out with soap that I didn’t know I always longed for.
Ben Sense Releases New Song: “Somone Needs You Part II”
“Someone Needs You Part II” off their new album, (Demo)lish Your Pizza, starts off remind me a bit of 1990’s Paul Westerberg due to the opening riffs guitar sound.
Whippets Release New Single: “Ice”
Whippets are a post punk band whose sound somewhere along the lines of themselves though I can tell they are likely fans of Fugazi, Jesus Lizard and GBV which tells you absolutely nothing still. I know. Let me try to narrow it down for you.
Deer Park Avenue Releases New Single: “Queen of Disaster”
Deer Park Avenue’s newest single, “Queen of Disaster”, skirts that line between indie pop punk and mainstream pop so effectively that I could see why they are a perfect fit for festivals like SXSW.
Galacticnorcinerator Releases New Single: Scam Armada
It does have a dancey post punk sound that would have easily fit into 1990’s Dischord or K Records.
Broke Even Releases Two New Singles: “Turn the Volume Down” and “You Dying”
Broke Even musically reminds me like some fucked up version of Atom and His Package, Dead Milkmen and They Might Be Giants.
The Lovina’s Release a New Single: “Growing Pains”
The Lovina’s new song “Growing Pains” has that punk mixed with indie singer songwriter sound that reminds me mostly of Paul Westerberg or some Bob Mould.
Powerwasher Releases New Single: “Crossing the Street”
So many parts, so much happening. It’s like an entropic cacophony of fuck. I’m not even sure where to start.
Nite Sobs Release New Album: Fade Out
When I first heard Fade Out by Nite Sobs, my initial thought was, damn this is so fucking catchy. It's like a mix of the band from That Thing You Do with touches of The Replacements, The Beach Boys and Elvis Costello.
The Bad Actors Release New Single: “Nothing Comes to Mind”
The Bad Actors new single, “Nothing Comes to Mind”, is a power pop tune for the whole family. It has that 50s/60s rock single sound mixed with some early Elvis Costello topped off with just a dose of pop punk.
King in Yellow Releases New Single: “The Chelsea, At Night”
King in Yellow hail from Kingston, NY which is in my neck of the woods in the Hudson Valley of New York which makes this review all the more exciting because I get to really dig into a song of a local band that I’m gonna do my best to catch live in the near future.
