Let’s move to Oakland, California, to meet Tim Brown & Donna McKean (both members of Hard Left) and their back and forth story. Formed around 1994, they released four albums, and some 7″ and EPs before they went on hiatus in 2002. Then came Birds of California, new band’s incarnation that delivered the EP ‘Great… Continue reading Lunchbox at Bloodbuzzed

Moon Types at Austin Town Hall
Another day, another great song coming to you from Jigsaw Records. This time the label has teamed up with new Swedish act Moon Types, and dammit if these aren’t some of the enjoyable indiepop songs I’ve come across in the last few weeks. I like how there’s a Southern rambling in the execution of the… Continue reading Moon Types at Austin Town Hall
Moon Types at Tasty Fanzine
Moon Types take the indie pop sensibilities of Belle & Sebastian, speed it up a bit, add a trumpet, some wistfully turned lyricism – ‘you want to know the reason bumblebees can fly’ and it’s headlong into the tweezone without as much as a twinge of remorse for this enthusiastic sounding Swedish beat combo, recreating… Continue reading Moon Types at Tasty Fanzine

Lunchbox at Magnet
Lunchbox is a garage-rock band that made a comeback last year with Lunchbox Loves You. Its new release is called Smash Hits, a fiery and quick lo-fi EP for fans of Joyce Manor. “Heaven” is heavy on distortion and hooks. Download it below. [Link]
Moon Types at Magnet
Moon Types is a Swedish band with a new seven-inch called “Know The Reason.” MAGNET is offering up the title track today, a horn-laden, bass-heavy, easy-going kind of tune with some Beatles influence in the vocals. “Know The Reason” is available now via Jigsaw Records. Download it below. [Link]
Moon Types at Finest Kiss
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
