November Singles and more: The High Frequencies, The Photocopies, Reno Bo, The James Rocket, Carla Olson, Girl With A Hawk, GUV


The High Frequencies have a world premiere video out now “Stratplastic” and like the debut album I just reviewed, it’s fantastic. Lisa Mychols is in her element here with catchy melodic guitar crunching goodness! You can read my review, but get this album! Next, The Photocopies are having an identity crisis with “We’re Not Photocopies” and the jangle is akin to The Ocean Blue, with a bit more cool fuzz. Next, Reno Bo is back, with an assist from Sadler Vaden on his new single “Undefeated.” A great example of a hard working Brooklyn band is The James Rocket. They have a new album (almost an EP) that deserves mention; check out the Kinks-like “Autumn” and “Penny.” Next a cool single collaboration between acclaimed singer/songwriter/producer Carla Olson and Tall Poppy Syndrome, doing a Brenda Lee cover “Is It True.” Next the sweet voice of songwriter Linda Viens from Girl With A Hawk on the gratitude themed “I’m In Love With My Friends,” a mid-tempo gem with a singalong quality. Finally a preview of the new GUV album, here it’s “Warmer Than Gold,” a sound recalling those “Mad-chester” bands of the 90s. Enjoy the weekend! More goodies to come.
