Roulette Pin-Ups - Kim Gordon (Electric Roulette)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:56:15 GMT

Who? Kim Gordon, man, you know her? She's the most rockinest woman on the planet. She's part punk-brat, part garage rock fiend and all bombshell... and I mean that in the literal sense. Where can you find her? You ain't...

White Denim, Audio, Brighton (The Independent)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 23:00:01 GMT

"More cowbell!" cries a man in a severe state of excitement. It's not necessarily what you expect to hear at a gig from one of the most hotly tipped garage rock bands of the year, but then White Denim don't do things by the book.

The Walkmen-In the New Year (Metal Lungies)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:08:57 GMT

The Walkmen make great drunken anthems. Their particular flavor of garage rock succeeds in blending poetic lyrics with crunchy waves of distortion and driving rhythms. The new track off the forthcoming album You and Me (out September 16th) shows the band playing up their strengths. Much like “Wake Up,” an inspired track off of Everyone Who [...]

Thomas Function in Moving Pictures: "Filthy Flowers" (I Rock Cleveland)

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:37:00 GMT

A little bit country, a little bit garage rock, and a whole lotta action, Thomas Function's video for "Filthy Flowers, shows the Alabama band in top form as they rock out in front of a crowd full of rowdies. Oh, you may scoff that it's just your standard performance video, but when you've got the old jingle-jangle going, a bounce in your beat, and the good times flowing freely,...

Meet depress (dustbury.com)

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:56:42 GMT

The truly sad song has vanished, suggests Kugelmass: On a lot of the best albums I've bought in recent years, an absolutely heartbreaking or despairing song is actually impossible. There are other negative emotions present regret, alienation, anxiety but the fact is that garage-rock bands like the Strokes or Franz Ferdinand are too propulsive to write desperately sad songs, and so...

Fricke’s Picks: Mudhoney (Rock and Roll Daily)

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:28:46 GMT

Incorrigible and indestructible, Seattle’s real supersonics, Mudhoney, celebrate 20 years of naked garage rock with a shotgun blast. Their 1988 six-song EP, Superfuzz Bigmuff (Sub Pop), named after a pair of popular distortion pedals, is now two out-of-control CDs with extra singles (such as the seminal grunge grenade “Touch Me I’m Sick”), demos and live [...]

Shiina Ringo at the Rising Sun Rock Festival (Japan Times)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:15:00 GMT

At the turn of the noughties, there was J-Pop and then there was Shiina Ringo. Starting as Japan's answer to Alanis Morissette, the Fukuokan songstress blazed an idiosyncratic path through the charts that saw her embrace garage rock, electronica, jazz and classical music. Then in 2003, she threw her biggest curveball yet: ditching her solo career to form the relatively workaday Tokyo...

Sam Champion to release new album (BBQ Chicken Robot)

noreply@blogger.com (wideeyedeggplant) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:09:21 GMT

Garage-pop, garage-rock, whatever, there is something about that garage rock sound, the drone of heavy electric guitar, a really catchy (I know people hate the use of the word "catchy") bass line, and just ruggedness that I really enjoy. Anyway Sam Champion is one of these bands that has appeared and has now recently reappeared that capture some of these elements,...

My garage-rock/psychedelic collector-dweeb friends (and I am fairly dweebish in this regard, so don’t take that as some kind of slight) will accuse me of taking the week off, because this one’s a low-hanging plum to pick.
