Watch: Tijuana Panthers Reveal New Single/Video "Slacker"


Long Beach art rock/alt band Tijuana Panthers have revealed the video for their new single "Slacker".

The song is taken from their upcoming sixth studio album 'Halfway to Eighty', which will be out on June 24 via Innovative Leisure. Pre-order your copy here.

Halfway to Eighty is an embrace of much more than just a band. It’s a statement of dedication to the calling of music—to sticking with making art as long as you want to, age be damned. “You know what would make me just go, ‘Oh, let’s just quit,’” says Wachtel, recalling a recent raucous show in Los Angeles, “is if we didn’t have that reception anymore. The fans keep me going.”

“Not to get all spiritual about it,” adds Michicoff, “but when we were younger, we played really hard for nobody, and now the fans do all the work for us. They have the fun and we just kind of rock out, and it’s nice. It’s cool to sit back and play the songs and watch. They’re putting on a show for us.”

Watch: Talk Show Unleash New Single/Video "Cold House"


London post punk/new wave band Talk Show have unleashed the video for their new single "Cold House".

The song is taken from upcoming new EP 'Touch The Ground', also produced by Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) and Al Doyle (Hot Chip/LCD Soundsystem), which will be release on 23rd September via Missing Piece Records. Pre-order your copy here.

The band see Touch The Ground as a celebration of their decisions to be bold: "We thought if we scrap the old stuff, the new stuff better be fucking good otherwise we're fucked,” Harrison says. ”On the final day I remember walking out and thinking that was the most fun I've ever had, and we've absolutely made the right decision and this is the direction we're going in. This is it now, this is where the train is heading and we're not stopping." Now the plan is to continue where they left off from the Hot Chip sessions, pushing for harder, louder, more industrial and dance floor-focussed music. "That's why it's called Touch The Ground. I wanted it to be like when a sprinter is crouching and ready to start a race," Harrison says, "it's the start of something – rooted, but looking upwards".

New Entry: The Haunted Youth Unveil New Single "Broken"


Belgian dream pop/shoegaze/psych pop band The Haunted Youth have released their dreamy new single "Broken".

The Haunted Youth are pulling out all the stops with this uptempo summer tune, making you walk on air and long for a drink on a festival site. Echoing the grandiose style of high-sounding bands such as The Cure and M83, ‘Broken’ naturally also bears the band’s instantly recognizable signature dreamy sound.
