If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Matt Lambert Muck and the Mires started off in 2001, but I would have sworn they've been around at least two decades longer than that. The Boston garage rock staples just have that timeless feel and sound much more like a band from the early 80's punk/rock scene than the early 00's. They've just released a new single, "Beat Revolution," that sounds like it would pre-date the 80's by about fifteen years. This is the kind of garage rock that was made in the 60's, or at least at the height of 60's nostalgia during the 80's. It's the kind of song that sounds like it was from a Nuggets compilation. "Beat Revolution" is pure classic early garage rock 'n' roll, and who doesn't need that sound more often? You can watch the video for "Beat Revolution" below. The song is available as a single via Dirty Water Records in Europe and Rum Bar Records in the US. For more on Muck and the Mires, check out the band...

Hailing from Cleveland, Archie and The Bunkers consist of brothers Emmett and Cullen O'Connor. They describe their sound as "hi-fi organ punk," and they basically nail it. "Laura" is an insanely fun little song, and is punk in the veins of Dropkick Murphys or Gogol Bordello. In fact, to me it sounds like a couple punk kids were inspired by the oompah band from the Jimmy Kimmel/Adam Carolla incarnation of The Man Show . Like I said, they're an insane amount of fun. You can listen to "Laura" below. Archie and The Bunkers's second album, Songs From the Lodge,  will be out April 20 (a very popular release date this year) via Dirty Water Records. You can pe-order a copy here . For more on Archie and The Bunkers, check out their we...
