Nothing People - In The City 7"

Both songs on the 7" feature heavily strummed, bendy sounding guitars carried by a strong, steady drumbeat. A nice wee 7" by a band worth getting into.

2. Really Good Time

Sample the 7"

Girls Of The Gravitron - Malthusian Love Song 7''

Harsh pop tunes with muffled vocals lingering beneath the surface. Keep an eye on these guys.

Sample the 7"

The Electric Bunnies - Eskimo 7"

Nothing hugely mind blowing, but it's catchy, fun and layered with lo-fi fuzz, which is always nice.

Superstitions - Superstitions

As the album kicks off, it begins to sounds like it could double as the soundtrack to The Beverly Hillbillies. But it's quickly balanced with a good dose of lo-fi garage tones. A mix of country, garage pop and blues rock. Limited to 100 cassettes, there may still be a handful left.

Vivian Girls - S/T

If you haven't heard Vivian Girls, then you should, ASAP. There's been a lot of comparison to Black Tambourine (they also site them as a main influence), just imagine them with a punk attitude and the occasional '60s girl group vibe. They could easily have fitted into the Noise Pop scene of the early '90s, so check them out if you have a weak spot for gritty noise pop.

The Strange Boys - Nothing 7"

It sounds like you should be hearing this through a pocket radio in the '60s. Could be best described as slow paced country-esque bluesy lo-fi garage pop.

2. Happily In Disbelief

Nice Face - Thing In My Head 7"

Some more Nice Face for your listening pleasure. Much more of the same lo-fi, garage pop, rough-around-the-edges type sound.

2. Hidden Automatic

Wavves - Wavves + Beach Demon/Weed Demon 7" + Various

ATTN: All who have been living under a rock for the last few months.
Wavves is Nathan Williams, former member of Fantastic Magic and current creator of noise pop-beach punk-lo fi musical gems. Receiving a lot of hype and with HEAPS of stuff coming out from now into the new year, keep an eye out.

The Coolies - S/T

Something a wee bit different. The Coolies were an early '00s three piece girl punk band from Auckland, New Zealand. Think Vivian girls with a more polished sound, or The Rondelles with less synth.

Epsilons - S/T

Features Ty Segall on lead vocals (and possibly songwriting?), so of course this one's great! Sounds like Ty's current style, but it's pretty evident that there's definitely a full band behind him on this project. Also features Charlie of Charlie and the Moonhearts.

Pumice - Quo

There are quite a few layers which go to make up Pumice's musical style - folk, pop, noise and psychedelic tones can all be heard on the album Quo. The eclectic and experimental blend creates an unusual sound, but great nonetheless.

Charlie & The Moonhearts - I Think You're Swell 7"

Fuzzy fuzzy garage pop belted out by three boys from California. Oh, and it's produced by Ty Segall, so it totally has that "thing" about it.
