If It's Too Loud...

Drive Thru Facelift is a new musical duo comprised of Nilagia McCoy and Mike Allen of The Jackights. Drive Thru Facelift are a complete departure from the members' other band, and are more of an industrial, goth, and protest band. Last week saw them release their debut single, which consists of the songs "Control" and "Call Him Daddy." These two new songs have an interesting sound and vibe to them. Both fit into an indie industrial sound, and are dripping with anger and disgust towards the direction our country continues to move in. However, they both have a heavy groove that is more dance friendly than mosh friendly. Both of there bands are mentioned in their press release, but it completely works to say that "Control" and "Call Him Daddy" are a mixture of Ministry and Garbage. This is a great and compelling first release, and we can't wait to hear what Drive Thru Facelift end up doing next. You can listen to "Control" and ...

Boston's Trash Rabbit may have relocated to New York City (or maybe not... I believe I saw that but their website still says Boston), but we'll try not to hold that against them. The punk/emo band just released "Control," and it could very well be their best single yet. The song continues their slick and polished pop punk sound, with just enough edge creeping in to keep things great. This one is reminding me of the energetic and highly melodic emo of The Anniversary. It's been nearly two years since the last release from Trash Rabbit, and while "Control" was worth the wait, let's hope we don't have to wait that long for the next release! You can listen to "Control" below. Headaches is due out in March. For more on Trash Rabbit, check out the band's website .

Her latest single changes up that sound quite a bit. "Control" keeps all of the sounds we love of Burch's, but it's decidedly more pop. What keeps this interesting is that "Control" doesn't sound anything like modern top 40. Instead, it harkens back to the top 40 of the 80's. Somehow Burch is blending sounds spanning six decades into her very own sound that is going to be impossible for us to resist. You can watch the video for "Control" below. Romantic Images is due out July 23 on Captured Tracks. You can pre-order the album here . For more on Molly Burch, check out the artist's website .
