Second single from Boys’ upcoming EP Love on Tour, due May 20th via PNKSLM Recordings.

“growing from the tender opening sketches in to something far more dynamic as it expands across four-minutes of somewhat scorched sentiments, Karlsson’s glorious vocal the most faithful of protagonists, swooning and sweeping its way through the entire thing”

Listen to lead single “Happy Hour”

Punk Slime Recordings are proud to present the new EP from the Swedish indie pop act Boys with lead single “Happy Hour”.  Boys is the solo project of HOLY guitarist Nora Karlsson and her new EP Love on Tour is the follow-up to last year’s debut EP Kind of Hurt. While Kind of Hurt were more or less home-recorded demos, Love on Tour is a step up on the production side while continuing to showcase Karlsson’s talents as a songwriter, with a sound somewhere in between Sarah Records and current day US indie pop, intimate and affecting lo-fi pop.

The lead single and opening track “Happy Hour” was written after returning home to Sweden following an intense UK tour with HOLY last fall, dealing with the post-tour depression and settling in to the regular life of a 20 year old in Sweden, while the rest of the EP deals with subjects such as longing and homesickness. Love on Tour was recorded and performed by Nora herself. except for HOLY frontman Hannes Ferm handling drum duties on “Happy Hour” and “In My Mind”.

Live Boys expands into the quintet of Nora Karlsson (guitar/vocals), Hannes Ferm (drums), Anna Rauhala of Swedish indie pop act Üni Foreman on guitar, Amanda Ferm on bass and Lina Högström (aka Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter Skator) on keyboard.

“once you come across their bright, buoyant brand of pop with just the right amount of shoegaze, you won’t be disappointed”

Californian noise pop duo Crocodiles release their fifth long player “Boys” on 11th May. Channelling influences from shoegaze pioneers like The Jesus & Mary Chain through to sun drenched salsa in a similar vein to Calexico, it promises to be their most diversely experimental collection to date. With a UK tour pencilled in for June, their live show is a must-see this summer. In the meantime, here’s ‘Peroxide Hearts’, the taken from the record.

The first taster from the forthcoming new album. Charles Rowell’s psychedelic guitar swirl starts “Crybaby Demon,” immediately followed by an infectiously repetitive bass line and Latin trashcan percussion.The first single from Crocodiles’ forthcoming album “Boys” offers a gaze into the salsa-punk existence the band lived while recording in Mexico City. It is the sound of helado and cervezas; bottles smashing against heads in Cuauhtémoc bat-caves. Brandon Welchez’s sneering vocal floats above, telling the tale of a fallen angel, head still in the clouds, abusive and abused. The flip side is a joyously noisy retelling of Hot Chocolate’s 1975 disco classic “U Sexy Thing” and adds to their ever growing collection of oddball influences.
