The Gloomies - LSD 7"

The singer-songwriter Andrew Craig together with the drummer Chris Trombley as well as the guitarists Blake Martz and Grant Martz, formed The Gloomies, and based in California, taking shape three songs that conform their first 7", called "LSD".

The eponymous song opens the can hitting your mind through DIIV or all your summer memories you experienced a couple months ago, which it means for Andrew to leave behind New York and move to California, printing a Kill Bill warm version doing this movement worst that looks like. At the end the last Tame Impala comes to my mind with the second part of 'Groves', because the first one is reserved for the poppy version of the first The Weeknd and their R'n'B before the song is wrapped for the "Currents" magic of the Australian band.

WOMPS - Live A Little Less / Dreams On Demand 7"

A month ago I discovered WOMPS and since then, I fell in love with their crazy garage rock with a pinch of grunge. Owen and Ewan return to the fray releasing their debut AA side 7" via Damnably Records, which was produced by Steve Albini.

Besides meet 'Live A Little Less', where they mention the Speedy Ortiz style together with FIDLAR and the first Yuck, with a lo-fi acute despair to the microphone with a pop sensibility to receive 'Dreams On Demand', which keeps the spirit of Cloud Nothings, but in a way more danceable than its parent, which is encouraging itself, insomuch they reach a punk sound with which it's easy to lose the head.

TIGERCUB - Destroy/You 7"

TIGERCUB are a trio from Brighton who look like from Seattle, birthplace of grunge, style they offer since the publication of 'Blue Blood' and 'Centrefold', their first two singles...being this last one released via Blood Red Shoes' label Jazz Life.

Now, thanks to Too Pure Singles Club and Cannibal Hymns, they will release their first 7", made up of 'Destroy' and 'You', the first one with a wall of metal sound wrapping the pure grunge founded in both of them, which is coming out of Jamie Hall's microphone bringing to mind Kurt Cobain...and thus Nirvana.

Hall also is responsible for playing the guitar while James Alexander is playing drums and James Wheelwright bass. Also 'Destroy' reminds of Royal Blood, but with a less powerful than their city colleagues. Its raw sound is combined with this mental dysfunction which forces their minds to the chaos, where everything is wrong and don't invite to remember 'You', this special person who had meant happiness and without that person...there is nothing more.

Nano Kino - Never Seemed To Be Happen 7"

Nano Kino are Sarah Suri and Duncan Lloyd (Maximo Park / Decade In Exile), with Andy Martin (bass) and Tom English (drums) who recently joined the band for their debut 7".

'Never Seemed To Happen' represents the happiness to be Nano Kino, without forgetting the frustration for not knowing where exactly oneself is when the things don't become real, and this is the moment when Duncan gives her voice some riffs to show her he is supporting her feelings in this experimental-pop debut single.
