Props to Top Shelf who is quickly becoming one of premiere labels of the scene. They’ll continue to hit that stride with the release of Sirs self-titled full-length July 3rd. The band have posted up a new teaser promo. Check it, along with a stream of “Buzzard Kill (River)” taken from last years split with Run,Walk!.

I’ve taken a recent liking to the new wave of mathy emo revival that has seemed to been taking off over the past year or so. Brave Bird is just one of the band’s i’ve taken an interest to. “It’s My Pride That I Swallow” is a new demo featuring trembling, oft out of tune vocals accompanied by tight percussion and clean guitar plucked with a juxtaposing upbeat demeanor.

Recently signing to Count Your Lucky Stars the band will be in studio recording a proper full-length debut. For now, you can grab their first EP over at bandcamp.

Props to Warm Weather for releasing one of the more inventive videos I’ve watched this year. Check out visual accompaniment to “So Far/Vertigo” featuring some synchronized choreographing that would give OK Go a run for their money.

The track is taken from last year’s Dances EP which is available via Bandcamp

Featuring twangly strummed guitar doused in reverb and a chorus that immediately that imprinted itself into the front of my brain “Two Wounded Birds” lead single “To Be Young” definitely wastes no time making a lasting impression.

The track is plucked from the bands forthcoming self-titled debut, out on June 24th in the states and June 4th in UK.

California Wives are currently in studio finishing up their Vagrant Records full-length debut. For now we have “Marianne”, a shoe-gazing nod to 80′s synth-pop revival which the band have made available for free download below.

A few months I introduced one of my favorite acts in the evergrowing poppunk youth movement. The band just dropped a brand new acoustic EP over at their bandcamp which includes this awesome cover of the Brand New classic “Mixtape”. Grab it below.

Fang Island have returned with an anthemic foot stomper featuring Ratatat inspired riffage and jingle bells to boot. “Asunder” is off of the bands forthcoming album Major out July 24th via Sargent House.
