The Paranoyds: “Hotel Celebrity”

By: Jack Anderson

“In these uncertain times…” we’ve all experienced our a fair share of paranoia. But if there’s anyone to take a rocky situation and, well, rock with it, it’s L.A. four-piece The Paranoyds. These self-admitted garage punks and horror connoisseurs released their debut LP Carnage Bargain last year and returned just last week with their succinct 7″, Pet Cemetery.

Where the EP’s title track captures a gloomier shoegaze aesthetic, Pet Cemetery‘s B-Side (and corresponding music video) “Hotel Celebrity” has just enough riot grrrl ferocity and upbeat energy to get you through hump day and beyond!

Domestic Tallboys: “Dead Bread”

In the world of “gotcha”-style band handles (whose spot on a marquee may entice unsuspecting listeners in under false pretenses)…nothing will ever come close to “Free Beer”. As a result, countless college bands and beyond have adopted the “Free Beer” moniker, nowadays either temporarily or often with some kind of modifier (“Free Beer & Pizza” […]

The Tender Things: “Carousel”

As the sun beams us into springtime and the Lone Star State starts to heat up, it wouldn’t hurt to check in on our alt-country A/C. And who better to turn to than ACL Fest/Studio 1A veterans The Tender Things? Founded by Heartless Bastards ex-pat Jesse Ebaugh, The Tender Things keep their style of country […]

Trunk: “Chili’s 45th and Lamar”

Depending on the general reception of a sitting administration, President’s Day often presents the creative community with opportunities to shed some sociopolitical discourse. Today, that’s not quite the case. Instead we’re yielding the podium to a group whose last two albums were Trunk’s America and north american practice space. Yes, we’re talking about Trunk. Look […]
