The underrated San Diego-based duo Crocodiles (Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell) are back with a new album, Upside Down In Heaven, due out on April 7.
The video here is for one of the singles, "Love Beyond the Grave."
Birch was a founding member of The Raincoats (🙌).
The video is for the title track, "I Play My Bass Loud." Birch has said, "The song is a celebration of the bass guitar as a voice, simple or layered, pounding or dancing or everything at once."
Bass Drum of Death's fifth full-length release, Say I Won't, is out now on Fat Possum Records.
The above video is for "Everybody's Gonna Be There."
BDOD leader John Barrett, along with his band, his brother Jim and Ian Kirkpatrick, will be one L-train stop away at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 31.
Canadian trio Men I Trust released several singles last year, including "Billie Toppy" (⬆️). Their fans are hoping for a full-length release in 2023...
In this season of the listicle... a top-20 record contender — Excess, the second release from the Los Angeles-based trio Automatic. The video here is for "Teen Beat."
Don’t Know What You're In Until You're Out is the just-released second record from the Philadelphia-based band Gladie ... the video here is for the anthemic indie-pop track "Nothing."
They'll be at the Bowery Ballroom on Dec. 16, though that show is sold out.
P.S.
Today is Bandcamp Friday, where the platform waives its revenue share, and all earnings go to the artists.
For the Halloween weekend... the Cramps with "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" ... with live footage from August 1980 and "Urgh! A Music War." (Not the best-quality video, unfortunately.)
The song also makes an appearance in "Halloween Kills," which you really don't heed to see.
