Today we have new music from Melvins, who covered Beatles on their new album Basses Loaded. Also, Turkish band Hayvanlar Alemi is finally back with the new single after several years of hiatus. Talking about Turkish sound, Los Angeles band Blaak Heat is inspired by it so much, that their new album sounds like it was recorded in Turkey. We also introduce Safeties from Cleveland and Sulfur City from Canada.
Today we start off with the new band from Brooklyn called Honey. Byron Coley says it reminds him on Cleveland. We also introduce The See No Evils from Leeds, England. 20 Watt Tombstone are from Wausau, WI, and Zig Zags are back with the new record. Heavy Times and King Khan have new singles. Leyla McCalla is back with a new album dense with Haitian and Creole folklore.
Today we bring you a few new names. First, we have Acapulco Lips, a trio from Seattle (although they have that modern San Francisco sound). Then we have Outtacontroller, a straight forward rock band from Halifax in Canada. Iza is a new band from Belgrade. Legendary Hawkwind are back with the new record the first one in four years. Finally, we say farewell to Guy Clark, one of the legendary Texas troubadours, who passed away last week at the age of 74.
The best news for this show is that Jody Stephens from Big Star and Luther Russel of Freewheelers formed a new band called Those Pretty Wrongs (after a Shakespeare’s poem). Their new record is made in Memphis Ardent Studios with the old Big Star equipment and while it definitely draws on that sound, it’s definitely not a cheap nostalgic take on a beloved band. It underlines on just how much Jody was integral to this band. We also have new music from Fort Wayne’s Left Lane Cruiser, and Pat Todd. We have no less than two supergroups today. Hard Working Americans are Todd Snider and Dave Schools from Widespread Panic together with and Neal Casal. Hard working Canadians are Tuns with Chris Murphy of Sloan, Matt Murphy of Super Friendz and Mike O’Neill of The Inbreds.
