2017-2013

A gritty and down-home 21st century blues-rock duo out of San Diego, California.  little hurricane formed in 2010 when guitarist and vocalist Anthony "Tone" Catalano answered a musician's call from drummer and vocalist Celeste "CC" Spina on craigslist. Catalano, originally from Santa Cruz, California, and Spina, originally from Chicago, Illinois, shared a common interest in both the blues and vintage musical equipment, and their ragged, passionate sound evolved almost instantly.

Take It Slow 3:27
Same Sun Same Moon 3:22
For Life 3:45
from Same Sun Same Moon 2017
...Little Hurricane continue this progression on Same Sun Same Moon, stepping even further away from the repetitive lyrical traps they fell into on their first record – all while exploring new musical territory. Little Hurricane apply their blues and classic rock influences to music that is brave enough to explore sounds commonly heard in rock, pop and alternative music. Same Sun Same Moon is an interesting record with no simple label or category – and that’s a big reason for why it’s enjoyable to listen to.

Dark and evocative post-folk from L.A.-based singer/songwriter and member of Red Sparowes, Marriages, and Nocturnes.  The singer and guitarist for California post-rock/psych-metal outfit Marriages, a member of Isis-connected post-rockers Red Sparowes, and frontwoman for atmospheric psych-folk/slowcore collective Nocturnes, Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle issued a collection of ambient, experimental guitar compositions through bandcamp before releasing a proper solo album.
Emma Ruth Rundle
Marked for Death (Emma Ruth Rundle) 3:39
Medusa (Emma Ruth Rundle) 5:19
Furious Angel (Emma Ruth Rundle) 4:15
from Marked for Death 2016
The follow-up to 2014's dreamy post-folk gem Some Heavy Ocean, Marked for Death finds Emma Ruth Rundle both dancing with and exorcizing a slew of personal demons via a brooding blast of icy alt-rock and doomy sludge metal. A far heavier, both figuratively and literally, affair than her weighty debut, Marked for Death can hardly be described as a mood stabilizer, but Rundle is able to contrast that lyrical vulnerability with huge, empowering blasts of sonic might. Those moments are more often than not preceded by stark declarations of existential grief, most of which seem predicated by a recent breakup or loss of a loved one. Her fluid voice -- a beguiling amalgam of Chelsea Wolfe, Tori Amos, and PJ Harvey -- can go from broken to soaring to feral in a single measure, and when paired with her atmospheric guitar pyrotechnics, the effect renders much of the first-person fretting moot...

An Anglo-American duo that plays fiery garage rock with blues grit, new wave cool, and loads of feedback.  The bluesy punk duo the Kills consist of vocalist/guitarist VV, aka Alison Mosshart, formerly of the Florida punk band Discount, and drummer/guitarist/vocalist Hotel, aka Jamie Hince. After Discount ended in 2000, VV began exchanging tapes with the London-based Hotel through the mail, but both of them felt hindered by this method, so VV crossed the Atlantic so the duo could write faster. In spring of 2001, they issued a self-released demo that showcased their gritty, sexy sound and earned favorable reviews from such quarters as TapeOp Magazine.
The Kills
Doing It to Death IThe Kills) 4:07
Heart of a Dog (The Kills) 3:46
Hard Habit to Break (The Kills) 3:52
Bitter Fruit (The Kills) 4:14
from Ash & Ice 2016
The Kills experienced -- or should that be survived? -- an eventful five years between 2011's Blood Pressures and Ash & Ice. Alison Mosshart moved to Nashville and worked with the Dead Weather as well as on her career as a visual artist, while Jamie Hince split with wife Kate Moss and suffered an injury to his left hand that required him to learn how to play guitar again. The process of recovering from a broken hand and a broken heart is apparent on the duo's fifth album, the title of which suggests the remnants of a night out -- or a nuclear winter -- and also reflects the trip Hince took on the Trans-Siberian Express in the wake of these events. The results capture the isolation and exhaustion that follow a breakup with remarkable honesty. Instead of melodrama, Mosshart and Hince explore weariness and loss via the sounds that seemed so vibrant on their previous albums...

2015-2018-2016

London-based band that combines the trippy psych of the '60s with the hazy psych of '90s dream poppers.   With one foot in the jangling, psychedelic world of the '60s and one in the jangling, psychedelic world of '90s dream pop, London's Charles Howl add in some surf, post-punk, indie pop, and '70s German rock influences to round their sound out nicely. Comprising guitarist/vocalist Danny Nellis (aka Charles Howl) and guitarist Bobby Syme (aka Danny Voltaire), the band formed when Nellis set aside his Jerry Tropicano project...

The New Shade 3:26
So Long 4:19
Lunacy 3:58
from Sir Vices 2015
The duo of Charles Howl and Danny Voltaire are lovers of hazy, misty psychedelic sounds as heard since the 1960s. As the rhythm section of the Proper Ornaments, they get a chance to play a Velvet Underground style, but on their own as the driving force behind the band Charles Howl, they cast a wide net that gathers in all sorts of trippy sounds on their debut album Sir Vices. Taking all they can from the best practitioners of psychedelic sounds, whether it's the rambling feel of the 13th Floor Elevators, the tinny jangle of the Paisley Underground bands, the repetitive waves of sound of My Bloody Valentine, or the reverb-heavy crunch of modern groups like Crystal Stilts. A long list of styles and bands like that might lead one to think that Charles Howl are overly derivative, but that's not the case at all. Thanks to a light-fingered touch, they manage to beg, borrow, and steal just enough here and there to help build a sound that is mostly theirs alone. Plus, the songs are good enough that it wouldn't really matter if they heisted every fuzz box, Farfisa organ, and chord progression that was left lying around unguarded...

British all-female quartet revisits influences from London's punk heyday with its own brand of noisy, blistering music.  The all-female post-punk four-piece Savages recall the tenacity and more artistic movements of London's punk heyday with their blistering sound and noisy guitars. Hailing from the English capital, they formed at the end of 2011 after guitarist Gemma Thompson and singer Camille Berthomier -- known as Jehnny Beth -- had procrastinated over a name and starting a band until they eventually settled on Savages and set to work writing songs. Soon after, Ayse Hassan joined on bass and Fay Milton completed the lineup on drums.
Savages
The Answer (Jehnny Beth / Savages) 3:30
Evil (Jehnny Beth / Savages) 3:36
from Adore Life 2016
On Silence Yourself, Savages' passion burned so brightly it seemed like it might consume itself before they could record a second album. Fortunately, Adore Life proves that the band not only has the endurance to return, but the finesse to come back better than ever. Jehnny Beth and company sound as bold as they did on their debut, but with a newfound precision that only makes their impact more powerful. Adore Life depicts love's most fearsome and joyous sides with a hunger that feels like these songs are really about devouring and being devoured...

Dreamy but aggressive guitar-based indie pop from Vancouver, led by guitarist and songwriter Jo Hirabayashi. A band whose music exists somewhere between dream pop, shoegaze, indie rock, and prog, Jo Passed balance languid melodies and blissed-out vocals against guitar figures that are by turns artful and aggressively physical. The Vancouver-based group was formed by guitarist and songwriter Jo Hirabayashi in 2015, originally as a two-man recording project with drummer Mac Lawrie; this edition of the group produced two EPs in 2016. After a sojourn in Montreal, the band expanded to a quartet with the addition of guitarist Bella Bébé and bassist Megan-Magdalena Bourne.
Jo Passed
In 4:28
Lego my Ego 4:27
No, Joy (I'm Not Real, Girl) 4:51
from Out 2016
...If you’re a fan of heavy layers of distortion and reverb, then this EP is going to speak volumes to you. Concerning the volume, Jo Passed get LOUD to the point of drowning out Hirabayashi’s vocals. Appropriately, there’s a song titled “Rage” on the Out EP, but it’s not the cannon blast of chaos you’d expect from its name. The song’s declarations of rage are more subtle than the EP’s opener “In”. Instead, “Rage” is comparable with sludgy, stoner rock. Hirabayashi does seem to be an admirer of Ty Segall’s balls-to-the-walls bad assery. Four out of five of Out‘s songs drive this point home with “Spring” being the most volatile; reaching thunderous highs and easing into a calm climax...
