If It's Too Loud...

Seattle's EEP-OOP! have a brand new single out that is pop-punk perfection. "Pretty" is somehow grittier than pop punk typically is, while also being incredibly poppy. It includes some great keyboards that are somewhere in between 60's garage rock and 80's New Wave. This is a song that unabashed fans of pop punk will love, and those that hate the genre are still going to begrudgingly admit is a great song. You'd have to hate joy and fun not to enjoy "Pretty." EEP-OOP! have such a great sound that carves out their own slice of pop punk. EEP-OOP! says of their latest single: "Pretty is a song that asks the hard questions. If you didn't feel pretty before, you will after listening to this! Make sure you kiss your mirror every morning and try not to fall in love with your friends.” You can watch the video for "Pretty" below.

While most people go for heavy metal, The Cranberries' "Zombie," and Fleetwood Mac for their Halloween playlists, we'll stick with the fun vibes of The Bacarrudas, because who can really resist a song called "She's in Love with Frankenstein's Monster?" You can listen to "She's in Love with Frankenstein's Mo...

Philadelphia's The Bacarrudas have an upcoming Halloween themed double EP due out next month, and the first single is everything we love about Halloween songs. "Lady Frankenstein" has its roots in classic/vintage rock and roll with a modern twist. It's a ridiculously fun novelty track that would still be a killer rock song even without the Halloween connection. It's a little rockabilly, a little soul, and all rock and roll. "Lady Frankenstein" is the first true Halloween song we've brought you this year, and The Bacarrudas have set the bar quite high. If you haven't started your Halloween playlist yet, this one is a great place to start. Singer/guitarist Adam Rabuck says of the band's latest single: "Lady Frankenstein tells the story of 'Bride of Frankenstein' from the point of view of the monster. The song takes the listener on a journey from initial excitement, to self depreciation, to grand gesture, to ultimate disappointment…...
