Vaadat Charigim – Odisea

Vaadat Charigim - Odisea

Burger Records’ latest A+ find is Tel Aviv-located band Vaadat Charigim. The Israeli trio will release their debut The World Is Well Lost LP on Nov. 12 and the beautiful well-executed melange of distorted guitar and deep-in-the-mix vocals of “Odisea” is the LP’s new single.

Josef Salvat – Every Night

josef salvat

Team Salvat rings up another very strong addition to his (as of now) excellent three single discography. Unique in sound to previous singles anthemic “This Life” and moody leveling “Hustler”, “Every Night” is more consciously pop, more American almost country-western in its use of guitar and melody. We like this. We like a new artist w/ the palette, skill, adventurousness to keep things not only fresh stylistically as it relates to their own sound but as their sound relates to everything else out there. We love great and we love different; nothing in music (or really anything creative or otherwise) comes from outside an intersection of both things. “Every Night” will be released on Fingers & Thumbs on December 9th as part of a double A-side single.

Review: The Sounds @ Belasco Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday 10/24/2013

The Sounds at Belasco LA Russ Ramos 6

Photos and Words by Russ Ramos

Swedish indie rock band The Sounds made their way to Los Angeles last night for a soldout show at the historic Belasco Theater, in the heart of Downtown. I go to a abundance of venues and shows, and shoot a plethora of bands, sometimes you’re not guaranteed a good show — The Sounds put on a great show. Lead singer Maja Ivarsson came out with a blazing cigarette, high heels, and a drop dead sexy dress, and like always, her attire had absolutely no effect on her performance. Paired up with bandmates Félix Rodríguez, Johan Bengtsson, Jesper Anderberg, and Fredrik Blond, The Sounds put on a real rock show that night. Lets just say you could hear them play from a couple of blocks away. It doesn’t look like The Sounds will be back in the States till later next year, if that. Dont miss your next chance to see them and be sure to check out their fifth studio album, Weekend due October 29.

Tigercub – Mother

miagi

In January this year Brighton trio Tigercub released their debut single “Little Rope”, a particularly satisfying alt guitar-pop piece with lashings of bite. Things have been grunged up somewhat with new track “Mother” and it couldn’t be better. The EP is out on Monday 28th October so in the meantime give this video a whirl and sink back into ’92.

Rave’s Fave: Champs — My Spirit Is Broken

champs

Champs are two British Brothers from the Isle of Wight: Michael and David Champion… thus the name Champs, which probably didn’t take long for them to come up with. Their first EP is now out in England with an American release likely early next year. In the meantime, we can enjoy “My Spirit is Broken”. It’s beautifully melancholy with a haunting melody, sweet harmonies, and a chorus that will stick to your bones. Review by Bruce Rave

Champs england (Official)

Hear Bruce’s “Go Deep With Bruce Rave” weekly new music show on Indie1031/Los Angeles and WSUM-FM/Madison. Details and archived shows can be found on his blog and be sure follow Bruce on Twitter too!

Stream: Day Ravies – Tussle [LP]

day ravies

Day Ravies is a new psychedelia soaked guitar band that’s conjured up a debut album of noteworthy material. Phonetically dyslexic bandname aside, the Australian foursome showcases a thing or two about the art of shoegaze rock and roll on their full-length release Tussle. Below you can have a stream at the album in all of it’s dreamy jangle-rock goodness, and if you like what you hear, be sure to pick up a copy via PopFrenzy.

D.D Dumbo – Tropical Oceans

D.D Dumbo

Think about The Blues. Reminisce on The Blues for a minute. Now picture the most desolate far-off place you can imagine (and no not Saginaw, Michigan). Good. That’s the visual for Aussie newcomer D.D Dumbo and his very very deep track “Tropical Oceans”. D.D Dumbo’s self-titled debut EP is out November 12th on The Blue Rider label.
