New Entry: Soup! Premiere New Single "Only Time"

South Manchester indie pop Soup! have premiered their  new single "Only Time".

'Only Time'  it's a punchy blend of choppy funk'd up guitars and breezy vocals, it puts us in mind of The Orielles or even New Zealand's Flying Nun lineage, with its neat indie pop minimalism arriving in compact, addictive fashion.

Singer Matthew Beswick says: “The lyrics recollect memories of early childhood performances and the reluctance to perform. These reflections clash with society’s current need for attention, validation and attempts to gain both through self-promotion and performance.”

Regressive Left Unleash New Single/Video "Bad Faith (ft. Mandy, Indiana)"

London post punk/new wave band Regressive Left have unleashed their new single "Bad Faith (ft. Mandy, Indiana)".

The song is taken from their forthcoming debut EP 'On The Wrong Side Of History', set to be released on July 15th on Bad Vibrations Records. Pre-order it here.

In dark, troubling times, maybe the most instantly gratifying solace one can seek is a wittily barbed diagnosis of the situation. “The fox has his den. The bee has his hive. The stoat … his stoat-hole,” Stewart Lee once remarked: “But only man chooses to make his nest in an investment opportunity.” Caustic retorts like this are what fuel the debut EP by dance-punk outfit Regressive Left, ‘On The Wrong Side of History’. For pervading through their dynamic and glitching music is a duty to report unflinchingly society’s ills. They are a staunchly political group, but far from your average po-faced by-numbers punk band. There is a gristly social commentary at the band’s core, but the songs themselves are characterised by a need to have fun, to find some kind of solace and escapism from the inevitable rapture.

Watch: Oog Bogo Reveals New Single/Video "Plastic"

Los Angeles guitar pop/psych/post punk Oog Bogo has revealed the video for their new single "Plastic".

The song is taken from his upcoming new album 'Plastic', which will be available on July 1 via God? Records. Pre-order it here.

The wiggy wanderings of Oog Bogo wind up on the same island of lost joys all at once, manufacturing a virtual jukebox of singles and side flips that won’t unplug, and just keeps reeling and raging on instead. A bright metallurgy of guitar pop, psych, post-punk and apocalypse disco (!!!) emboss the sleek, multicolored flash of Plastic.
