Something gritty for you courtesy of new UK based band Findlay, of which offer up some raw power on their debut release (some puns intended). “Your Sister” sees release as limited 7″ in mid August via Manchester label Joyeux Anniversaire.

They promised us a different album this time around. The title of their new album will be Come of Age and you can hear it. The fast drum intro hits you right away, and then comes that signature 50’s riff. Justin sings “I’m no teenage icon, I’m no Frankie Avalon.” The first song we heard from Come of Age was the surprisingly Dylan-esque “No Hope”, and now this killer. I’ve got heaps of hope for what the rest of the album will sound like. By Bruce Rave

Telepopmusik’s “Breathe” is pretty much one of my favorite songs ever. Not sure I’ve ever heard a guitar-driven version of it before. New Navy, the down under band that put out that good “Zimbabwe” single last year have a guitar-driven go at it. Let us know what you think below.

Summer tinged indie rock from new Florida collective Case Work. Their debut track “Slow” deserves your ears for the next 3:15.

Moonlight Bride were an act on our must see list for SXSW this year. Of course general live festival chaos took its course, schedules crissed and crossed every which direction, etc, etc and we missed the band’s one set, that we knew of. (PS if you were there hit us up because we need to know how it was!) Fortunately the band have released a new remix collection of their Twin Lakes EP to remind us of what we missed. A standout from the collection is this expansive version of “Drug Crimes” produced by the Machines Are People Too team. Give it a looky below.

Something about a great guitar song will never go out of style. “Cruel Love” has some of those feel good vibes that can only come from a song that means anything other than feeling good. PKST (Petty, Kweller, Schwartzmans, Traster, ___ ) come on let’s get this crew together.
Ryan Traster will play his 7″ release party for “Cruel Love” on July 28th in Minneapolis, MN along with Scattered Trees. Be there.

We’ve been giving some rotation to the new Chapel Club tracks that recently dropped on the band’s website. While the new single “Sleep Alone” is a more instrumental departure from anything we’re used to hearing from the band, the dreamy “Scared” offers both a more discernible take on Lewis Bowman’s vocals and the band’s sound prior. The song’s playful melodies swirl and swing about in a multicolored uneasiness leaving the adolescent topic of what there is to be “Scared” of a bit more open to interpretation.

Of all the newest albums, it seems The Walkmen’s Heaven is getting the most raves in chats I’m having with friends. True, these New York dudes are in fine form this time around. A few weeks ago, I posted “Heartbreaker”, which I feel would be a strong single. “We Can’t Be Beat” leads off the album. It’s acoustic, with a soothing, inspiring melody and beautiful harmonies. Perfect for late summer nights, or early weekend mornings…or anytime for that matter. – By Bruce Rave

The lo-fi treble on “Where Are We Now” will blast through your veins and clot up your throat. The track offers up a ruckus hiss of genuine garage rock and pop sentiment from the young LA based trio Wake Up Lucid. “Where Are We Now” is previewed from the band’s forthcoming and debut LP titled Feel It which sees release on August 7. Give it a spin below.

New music from Blur is always cause to celebrate! Today the band released some lyric based visuals for two new tracks “The Puritan” and “Under the Westway”. Both tracks have had some much lauded over live performance exposure so they’re not TOTALLY NEW but today does mark our first taste of the full studio versions. Blur will be playing a few warm up dates (if you’re near where they’re performing, you already know) in the lead in to their anticipated Hyde Park gig on August 12th. Blur 21: The Box will be released on July 30, 2012.
