More June goodies: Mansfield, Poppermost, The Rubinoos, Doggy Heaven, Taxi Girls, Cameronoise


Really enjoyed Copenhagen-based band Mansfield “Chasing After You” video and the classic pop sounds this band evokes. From the EP Come Rain or Shine, so check it out. Speaking of classic sounds, Joe Kane and his Poppermost are back with the Merseybeat madness and he manages to excite using vintage instruments. Oh, my! The Rubinoos have a new single out, “Rumble Under My Hood” and these veterans sound ageless. A new band Doggy Heaven has a clean sound and a unique theme, “Never Gonna Happen” is a good opener. Canadian rock band Taxi Girls is a dynamic trio from Montreal. The band, which consists of Jamie, Vera, and Lynn, combines the iconic Ramones sound with the fiery spirit of the Muffs and a splash of Verruca Salt. Finally, another Canadian band Cameronoise has a cool instrumental EP Freebie for you all, with a song titled “Alternative Batgirl.” How cool is that? Perfect for a sunny summer drive.
