Take a little bit of Ladybug Transistor and some Pelle Carlberg and the Bee Gees and you get an idea of what Stockholm, Sweden’s Moon Types are up to on their debut single. Moon Types remind me of a time not long ago when every week featured a new band from Sweden. It’s cooled down a… Continue reading Moon Types at Finest Kiss

Moon Types at Innocent Words
Moon Types hail from Sweden and play sugary sweet, jangly pop songs on this three-song 7-inch ‘Know the Reason.’ Formed by Jesper Klein and Stephen Naron on guitar and bass, respectively, the four-piece is rounded out by Jesper Nyrén on drums and Josefin Klein on keyboards and vocals. The band draws influences from modern bands… Continue reading Moon Types at Innocent Words

Lunchbox, Moon Types at Linear Tracking Lives!
Today’s vacation shot is of Devils Punch Bowl in Otter Rock, Oregon. It’s a beautiful stretch of beach known for great whale watching and surfing. During low tide, the tide pools and rocks make for some fascinating investigation, but you don’t want to be around the bowl during high tide. The water churns and foams… Continue reading Lunchbox, Moon Types at Linear Tracking Lives!
Lunchbox at Collective Zine
Summery and fuzzy indie pop from Seattle here. It’s all quite catchy and melodic – every now and then I think of the odd 90s indie band while listening to this although there is something of a 60s bubblegum pop side to their sound too. It’s also a bit noisier than your average indie pop… Continue reading Lunchbox at Collective Zine
Bunnygrunt at KDHX
When it comes to noisy, giddy, poppy punk, Bunnygrunthas been setting the standard in St. Louis since the early ’90s. “Still Chooglin’ (After All These Beers),” an affectionate sendup of sloppy and speedy two-chord bar rock (if not CCR itself), shows they’ve still got a lot left in the tank. [Link]

Bunnygrunt at Stereo Embers
Born in the tweedledum, B&S-addled mid-nineties (their 1995 Action Pants! debut is an aggro-primitivist lost classic of that most precious of canons), St Louis band Bunnygrunt has done what few bands have the guts, gumption, or reckless heart to do any more: they hit the neverending road and ground it out, criss-crossing the frayed ribbons… Continue reading Bunnygrunt at Stereo Embers
Static Daydream at the Vinyl District
Those nutty over shoegaze may know Paul Baker from Skywave and Ceremony. Since 2012 he’s been busy in Static Daydream, a project finding him in cahoots with girlfriend and musical collaborator Jamie Casey. Their 4-song cassette “The Only One” was issued last year and now here’s a self-titled LP; like Baker’s previous outfits Static Daydream… Continue reading Static Daydream at the Vinyl District
Static Daydream at Bloodbuzzed
Among the most exciting bands reaching my mailbox is the latest project of Paul Baker (Skywave, Ceremony), alongside his girlfriend and musical partner Jamie Casey. Beginning in 2012, their highly praised debut EP, ‘The Only One‘ came out on Moon Sounds Records in 2014. Now it’s time for their first self-titled album, out at the… Continue reading Static Daydream at Bloodbuzzed
