Shelflife Records presents the release of the Melbourne shoegaze/psych outfit Flyying Colours this track “Not Today” remix taken from the self-titled 5-track EP
True to their name, Flyying Colours unashamedly display their influences in this debut: tone bending MBV/Swervedriver guitars, Ride’s bass hooks and the familiar soft hush of early 90s male/female vocals. Add to that their own edgy, refreshing pop-mindedness and it makes for five completely brilliant tracks.

The EP includes pile-driving single “Wavygravy”, a layered noise anthem jumped on by national radio and the international shoegaze blogosphere on its Oz release last April. Other stand out tracks are psych-rock opener “Like You Said”, “Feathers” with its chorus-y jangle and lush vocals and the cool-down of closing track “Bugs.”

Formed in 2011, Flyying Colours is Brodie J Brümmer (vox/Guitar), Gemma O’Connor (vox/Guitar) and the drums & bass of brothers Sam and Joshua Dawes. Before “Wavygravy” they received a lot of attention for their explosive live shows, setting them well apart from others occupying Melbourne’s growing 90s/shoegaze scene. Flyying Colours have just completed an Australian tour and are currently recording tracks for their debut album.

Earlier this year, I added a track from the wonderful band The Fireworks. Its a great album and I enjoyed it so much, so wouldn’t we want to go for round two and put up another track “Runaround” sees the band dig into their retro roots (love the black and white) without sacrificing their scrappy, noise pop appeal. Check out the clip below. The Fireworks’ new EP Runaround is out now via Shelflife Records.

We know it’s only February but there will be no better Indie Pop album in 2015 Than The Fireworks . The album continues where the two sold out singles left off with an intoxicating head-bobbing indie pop noise with Emma and Matthew’s vocals surrounded by layers of chainsaw fuzz and feedback. However, each cut has a pop hook that’s instant that will take you to Indie pop heaven. The album is made up of thirteen A sides that you will fall in love with forever. Fireworks uphold the values from those special records from 1984-86, when bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Shop Assistants, The Flatmates, My Bloody Valentine, and Razorcuts changed our lives. Seriously do not miss out on this wonderful album.

Shelflife Records presents the debut EP from Los Angeles based The Turns, a band who looks and sounds like the product of Creation Records 1989, but apply their own twist and turns to make their music uniquely modern. This EP was originally planned for a mid-2015 release, but we are releasing it early in digital-only format in cooperation with Lollipop Records who are making the EP available on limited edition cassette.

The Turns are Michael Eng (Lead Vox/Guitar), Danny Winebarger (Vox/Guitar), Marco Cortes (Bass) and Johnny Toomey (Drums). They have been playing live relentlessly in Southern California and were invited to play the official 2014 Austin Psych Fest party at the request of the “Committee to Keep Music Evil”.
