If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Tim Bugbee The latest single from Eldridge Rodriguez may be their best yet. The Boston band just released "Without All Your Teeth You Can't Get Into Heaven," which is this interesting gothic New Wave meets country kind of ballad. That might sound like a sonic train wreck, but Cameron Keiber's musical project expertly pulls it off. The song starts off like a Cure song, but with some oddly twangy guitar. When Keiber's crooning vocals take over, the song shifts into the prom song from the coolest 80's movie that never existed. "Without All Your Teeth You Can't Get Into Heaven" is one of the most instantly compelling songs to come out this year, and it just gets more and more so the longer it goes on. You can listen to "Without All Your Teeth You Can't Get Into Heaven" below. Atrophy is due out September 15 on Midriff Records. For more on Eldridge Rodriguez, check out the band's website .

Photo by Tim Bugbee Boston's Eldridge Rodriguez are swinging for the fences on their latest single. "The Strange Things That Happen to People" has a huge sound that is nearly arena ready, but will still sound perfectly at home in dive bars. The song has this epic thrust to it that reminds me of U2, but also a much darker feeling that is more like Joy Division. While most arena rock tends to be uplifting (tens of thousands of people don't typically gather together to mope), Eldridge Rodriguez anchor that in a more downbeat song. It's an interesting dichotomy that makes us even bigger fans of this band. You can listen to "The Strange Things That Happen to People" below. Atrophy is due out September 15 on Midriff Records.

Photo by Tim Bugbee Boston's Eldridge Rodriguez has released a new single that changes up the band's sound while still sounding like themselves. "A Feeling That Won't Go Away" is a slacker anthem. It has that 90's slacker vibe going for it, along with a chilled out yet intense vibe, but it's far more pop (albeit noise pop) than we ever could have admitted something sounded in the 90's. It's reminding me a lot of the slower songs of The Sheila Divine mixed with The Rolling Stones' ballads. "A Feeling That Goes Away" is a dark, brooding indie rock/pop song that still has a slightly uplifting feel to it. You can listen to "A Feeling That Won't Go Away" below. Atrophy will be released at a later date via Midriff Records. For more on Eldridge Rodriguez, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram .

Getting someone as legendary as Zedek to join you on a song is huge, but "Scars in the Vein" would still be a great indie rock song even without Boston indie rock royalty being involved. "Scars in the Vein" is an insanely catchy indie rocker with more than a few pop hooks thrown in. It's not quite tuneful enough to be considered pop, although it does lean that way. There's some noise here, but mostly it's a straight up rocker with singer Cameron Keibler's vocals merging perfectly with Zedek's. Both of their vocals stand out on their own, but when the two are harmonizing is when the song is truly magic. You can listen to "Scars in the Vein" below. The song will be included on Atrophy  when it is released on Midriff Records. For more on Eldridge Rodriguez, check out the band's website . Eldridge Rodriguez · S...
