If It's Too Loud...

Oakland's The Wind-Ups have such a great and unique sound on their latest single. "A Fine Pink Mist" could have been one of the most sugary singles we've ever covered. The song is unbelievably catchy and has all of the melodic components of a great, poppy song. That is, except for the fact that it's coated in a thick layer of lo-fi fuzz and noise. At some points the fuzz is just barely there, and at others it overwhelms the entire song. But it's always there, throughout. I certainly don't mean that as a negative, and if you also love sugary power pop and fuzzed out noise, you're going to love The Wind-Ups. You can listen to "A Fine Pink Mist" below. Confection is due out July 11 on Dandy Boy Records, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp . For more on The Wind-Ups, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram .

Hailing from Chico, CA, The Wind-Ups have a perfect single for fans of garage rock and punk. "(That's Just My) Dream Girl" sounds like a lo-fi version of when the Ramones would cover a classic song from the 60's. The song's rough and abrasive edge helps it from becoming too saccharine, which wouldn't be a bad thing with a song like this. It kind of sounds like the Ramones covered ? and the Mysterians and then ? and the Mysterians covered their cover. For those of us (probably overly) obsessed with vintage style garage rock, "(That's Just My) Dream Girl" is going to sound like heaven. You can listen to "(That's Just My) Dream Girl" below.
