New excellent EPs here! Can I just say that
Ryan Hamilton looks nearly unrecognizable with his hairless head and face, but his latest single “Come To Jesus Moment,” has that comfortable melodic hook. Welcome back, Ryan! Next, John Wlaysewski has been mastering the genre mashup with
Late Cambrian and his new EP
‘How I Bleed’ is killer! A gutsy combo of funk, rock, pop that would make Lenny Kravitz jealous.
Triples is the project of Toronto songwriter, guitarist, and actor Eva Link. Her catchy melodies reflect influences from Guided by Voices, Liz Phair, Courtney Love, and Juliana Hatfield.
Space Jaguar is a folk-rock pop combo that got my attention. Check out “Bright Future” and “Go Home,” it’s a little bit like The Lemonheads. LA band
Laughing Week has a harder power pop sound with a nostalgic vibe that credits Ultimate Fakebook. I loved “Conspiracy” with the great opening lyric, “You said they poisoned the water and made all the frogs turn gay.” Finally the retro catchy surf guitar of
The Dracu-Las. I dare you to listen to the first track and not sing along to all the “doo-be-doo-be-doos.”
