The BEACHES – ” The Professional “

Okay, so here is a few facts to pique your interest in the Toronto rockers. First, they count Sir Elton John as a fan. Impressive for sure. Second, they will be supporting Passion Pit on their 10th year anniversary tour after previously gaining support on a supporting slot for Death From Above. And thirdly, the band straight up rocks and their style has won not only accolades and admiration, but a Juno award as well. We are thoroughly impressed by almost everything the band has created and we think they are sure to reach near combustible levels of notoriety with tracks like “Desdemona”.

In their early teens, sisters Jordan and Kylie Miller joined Eliza Enman-McDaniel and guitarist Megan Fitchett to form the pop punk quartet Done with Dolls in their hometown of Toronto.

The band undertook a tour in 2011 opening for Allstar Weekend, By 2013, Fitchett had departed the group, being replaced by Earl, and the band adopted a more adult sound and the name The Beaches from the neighbourhood of Toronto where the Millers and Enman-McDaniel grew up.

The Beaches released two EPs, The Beaches (2013) and Heights (2014), before signing to Universal Music’s subsidiary Island Records in 2016. They released their debut full-length studio album Late Show in 2017.[6] The album was produced by Emily Haines and James Shaw of Metric. The band won Breakthrough Group of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018.[8][9] Later that year, they received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for their song “Money”.

In 2019, the band released its third EP, The Professional. It was accompanied by the singles “Fascination” and “Snake Tongue”.[11] They toured Canada, opening for The Glorious Sons and Passion Pit. The band was selected as the opening act for the only Canadian stop on the Rolling Stones’ 2019 No Filter Tour, they appeared as the on-field pre-game entertainment before the kick-off of the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary, performing “Fascination” and “T-Shirt”. They later announced a 2020 headlining tour of Canada.

Mt Mountain are very excited to announce that we have signed with Fuzz Club Records. Details on the incoming release coming soon!

Fuzzclubrecords: “We’re super excited to announce that we’ve signed the great @mt.mountain for their incoming third album – the details of which will all be revealed soon! Hailing from Perth, Australia and forming in mid-2012, Mt. Mountain deal in just about everything we love here at Fuzz Club: a sprawling, motorik psychedelic rock sound that effortlessly journeys between tranquil, drone-like meditations and raucous, full-throttle wig-outs that’ll blow your mind as much as your speakers.  Both songs are hazy early morning ebbing drifts that don’t so much flower, as they manage to hold you in suspension, teetering on the edge of gliding lysergic flight, nearly existing in the background, though ever-present enough to hold your wayward attention with disembodied emancipated delight, filled with wanderlust and super low-keyed visionary splendour.

To find out more and stream their recent single ‘Tassels’.

This band puts you under a blissful lysergic spell. I can not wait for a new record.

With a number of EPs and singles and two full-length albums behind them – their 2016 debut ‘Cosmos Terros’ and 2018’s ‘Golden Rise’ – Mt. Mountain have picked up a formidable reputation in their homeland and further afield. As far as live shows go they’ve played shows with such notable Aussie comrades as King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and ORB, as well as a long list of international heavy-hitters including Sleep, MONO, Thee Oh Sees, Acid Mothers Temple and Moon Duo. It’s for good reason that this lot have been busy earning their stripes over the last few years and we’re incredibly excited to start showing you what they have in store in the coming weeks and months… watch this space!

The PARANOYDS – ” Pet Cemetery “

As the world continues to literally burn, The Paranoyds return with a much-needed dose of musical levity. It’s been nearly a year since the Los Angeles-based outfit released Carnage Bargain, their debut full-length, and this their new release, is a two-song seven-inch, is a total embodiment of their every influence. Their identity — a band, fuelled by campy horror movies and garage rock — is more evident than ever on this seven-inch, beginning with the organ-fueled opening of A-side “Pet Cemetery” Featuring the sounds of off-kilter keys alongside a chugging guitar line, and expansive experiments, “Pet Cemetery” has become a staple of the band’s live performances, resulting in a sea of zombie-fied headbang every time it’s played.

Despite the obvious heaviness that surrounds a track entirely centered on undead lovers partaking in PDA, there’s an undeniable undercurrent of fun. Previously recorded during sessions for the band’s full length-debut, this unofficial anthem for underworld romance was being saved for a special moment. On the record’s B-side is “Hotel Celebrity,” a single that’s darkness isn’t quite so overt. An examination of aging, and the fruitless celebrity pursuit of superficial perfection, The Paranoyds share in a not so sincere toast to Hollywood. The single was among the last sessions at the famed Tiny Telephone, a San Francisco-based recording studio.

The track is a sneak peek at the future, if there is a future beyond all this shit, of what musical direction The Paranoyds might be headed in next. Suicide Squeeze Records is proud to release the Pet Cemetery EP on a limited-edition, one-time pressing of 750 copies on coke bottle clear vinyl on November 27th, 2020.

VARIOUS ARTISTS – ” Through The Static and Distance ” The Songs Of Jason Molina

Over a year in the works, we are now taking orders for the double-LP “Through the Static and Distance: The Songs of Jason Molina”. Please take a moment to read about, listen to samples from, and pre-order the album at http://www.staticanddistance.com/

Tribute albums are a strange undertaking, funny to love something so well then want to change it, to interpret it for yourself. Anyone who has ever performed or recorded someone else’s song understands that to cover a song is to find some way in, deeper than you could from just listening; it’s a way of knowing a song intimately, to make it your own and to love it.

Jason Molina’s songs seem so passionately torn from his very heart in such a way as to make us smell the fleshy vitality. They are small and personal, as though a tiny secret whispered in our ears, yet speak to such enormous truths and overarching perceptions. They revealed an author in ways we might not even come to know ourselves. To hear Jason’s albums is to understand and fully believe his authenticity.

No one is under the impression they’re going to improve on the genuine article but with these songs we say, “Thanks for showing us what you saw, what you felt. We see it and we feel it and we fucking agree. With the whole of our hearts. Thank you, Jason, for the beauty you brought to this world.”

COIN – ” Indigo Violet ” EP

Posted: October 28, 2020 in MUSIC

There’s just something soecial about Coin. Year after year they give us what we all came for: indie pop escapism. And while the signature sound has certainly matured, they’ve never lost their roots. The trio which consists of Chase Lawrence, Ryan Winnen, and Joe Memmel, started back in 2012. Since then, they’ve reached over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 23.5 million views on Youtube. Together, these men have fused colour and music in a way that can’t just be categorized as “catchy.” They are a form of escapism. Take our advice, and turn on Coin while you’re driving in the car with the windows down. You’ll forget about all the bad stuff. The beat will absorb you, and the euphoria will boil to the surface.

The boys sure know how to greet you with serotonin: a hint of groovy rock, colorful pop, and eclectic guitar led-tunes. Their newest project is ‘Indigo Violet,’ a four-track EP, fueled with reliability. “‘Indigo Violet’ is the first movement of our full concept – Rainbow Mixtape,”, “IV is a collection of songs written over the past few months. Thematically, it deals with patience & oneness – rational songs about what it means to be human. Sonically, the EP is influenced by early 2000s emotive rock – big sounding songs with little production.”

The video for “Sort It Out” dropped this week, clad with performing robotic animals in clothes and the pop musicality we never fail to miss from Coin.

“Sort It Out” is from the EP Indigo Violet, the first movement of the Rainbow Mixtapes.

AARON LEE TASJAN – ” Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan! “

Aaron Lee Tasjan, aka ALT, is a songwriter and guitarist and performer. I’d stay away from him if I were you. Big trouble. It’s tough to take Aaron Lee Tasjan seriously when he calls himself a folk singer. Though the shaggy-haired, 30-year-old Nashville transplant is perfectly capable of quieting a room with storytelling songs and acoustic fingerpicking, there’s a whole lot of other music in his repertoire—not to mention on his resume. His incisive electric guitar playing landed him prime glam rock gigs, first with Semi Precious Weapons, then a latter-day line-up of the proto-punk New York Dolls—both far better known for the flaunting of fabulous rock ‘n’ roll androgyny than for anything remotely folk-leaning.

He also secured a spot in the hard-edged roots rock outfit Drivin’ N Cryin’. The solo work that Tasjan’s committed himself to since—including his magnetic New West Records debut Silver Tears—makes use of his slouching self-awareness, bohemian intellect and wicked wit, as well as his fondness for psychedelic eruptions, sophisticated studio pop flourishes and easy twang. He’s wagering that the Americana scene, no matter its traditionalist rep, has room for such motley impulses. We’re excited to announce the new Aaron Lee Tasjan album, Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan!, is on its way! The fourth full-length album from the enigmatic Nashville songwriter will be released February 5th, 2021. 

The debut single from the album, “Up All Night,”  is equal parts alternative pop and glam rock stomp.

BUZZARD BUZZARD BUZZARD – ” 30,000 Megabucks “

I’m sure you’ll be grateful to know that we have a new single out called ’30,000 Megabucks’ – it’s a short tale detailing the events that unfolded after I left a previous publishing company I was with (I’ll spare you the gritty details as I need them for the pitch for ‘Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard: 30,000 Megabucks: The Movie’, obviously the sequel would be 30,001 Megabucks, much like 101 Dalmatians, anyway I’m getting off track), they told me I owed them £30,000, can you imagine???

Thankfully I have moved onto greener pastures since and it’s probably worth mentioning that now I am shacked up with the wonderful Just Isn’t Music Publishing who are very sweet and kind and I love them very much. 

I’m excited that this song can finally be with you all, mainly because there’s only so many Bill Burr standup clips I can watch on YouTube in one day so it’s good to take a break from sniggering to myself whilst twirling my finger in my belly button – a sight I’m sure all of you will want to forget very quickly, but will not be able to.

NOTHING BUT THIEVES – ” Impossible “

Nothing But Thieves return with their intense third album “Moral Panic’ – which many are calling their best yet! Recruiting ace producer Mike Crossey (The 1975/Wolf Alice) and recorded in L.A., their new LP explores politics through the lens of the many crises afflicting the world today and the polarising effect it is having on the people. This album is about the tension in the air. It’s about people. It’s about you. Moral Panic Is setting in Terror fever It’s too late to begin. We couldn’t be happier to be able to finally say that our third album Moral Panic is now out in the world. It has been a tricky process at times and the album is, in a lot of ways, a political album – but it was our intention to not make it directly so. Moral Panic hinges on what effect the pressures of the modern world and the information age have on us. It’s about people. It’s about you. 

“I was at home, it’s time to write about something new. I basically ended up studying Twitter like a bible and diving deep into what people were saying. Climate change, Brexit, Trump, it’s all in there. It’s mainly about the effect on the people though, it splits you into extremes, social media does it on purpose. I wanted to capture the tribalism and how unpleasant a place it is. It was tough to do, but it’s given us a great album.”

#Moral Panic ‘Moral Panic’ is out now via Sony Records on Limited Edition Neon Yellow vinyl! Catch Nothing But Thieves at Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on Saturday 16th of October 2021 where they will be showcasing their new material plus playing the songs you love from their back catalogue.

ALL THEM WITCHES – ” Nothing as the Ideal “

Dark and beguiling; Nashville three-piece All Them Witches blend blues rock with garage, psyche and stoner rock to create hypnotic songs with a truly intense feel. Their immense creativity has resulted in a truly prolific output, with each new record eagerly awaited by their devoted international fanbase.

The trio includes drummer Robby Staebler, guitarist Ben McLeod and bassist Charles Michael Parks Jr. who is also the band’s singer. Now, with the release of their sixth album ‘Nothing as the Ideal’ which critics and fans agree is their best yet; All Them Witches announce headline dates to showcase their new material. 

Formed in 2012, All Them Witches immediately showed immense creative strength with their prolific output resulting in the self- release of their first full length record ‘Our Mother Electricity’ in the same year. Inspired by the heavy sound of Black Sabbath but also their willingness to experiment, they achieved cult status throughout the US and reached listeners in Europe and around the globe. Their innovation continued with the ‘Extra Pleasant’ EP which saw them record using only two microphones plugged directly into a cassette recorder, creating an almost mythic quality to their song writing which appealed to fans. The ensuing years would see an inexhaustible flurry of creative energy with a constant release of albums, including ‘Lightening At The Door’ (2014), ‘Dying Surfer Meets His Maker’ (2015), ‘Sleeping Through The War’ (2017) and ‘ATW’ (2018).

Sensing that their next album would be something truly special, the Tennessee troupe relocated to London to record in Studio 2 of the iconic Abbey Road. Enlisting the aid of their long-term friend Mikey Allread as mixing engineer once again, they set about creating new album ‘Nothing as the Ideal’.

“As soon as we walked in, all of that touristy stuff is just gone. It is a funky, vintage, dirty studio, just bad-ass and super-awesome. The staff there was such a joy to work with, and the room we were in was Studio Two, which was The Beatles’ room.” – Ben McLeod

Some of the magic of the studio which helped craft some of the greatest rock and roll records of all time must have seeped into the band as album ‘Nothing as the Ideal’ is their best yet. The mystical element of their music is taken even further with complicated song structures explored to their fullest extent and delicately balanced melodies are fused with hard rocking riffs to produce one of the most compelling records of the year. Make sure you see All Them Witches when they return to the UK to play the new material from ‘Nothing as the Ideal’ plus tracks from right across their mighty career at headline dates during September 2021 

The album ‘Nothing as the Ideal,’ available now
