If It's Too Loud...

In October we gushed about "Shakin All Over," the latest song from The Whiffs. Right now they have a new single, "On the Boulevard." As much as we loved "Shakin All Over," the latest song might have us completely obsessed. "On the Boulevard" is a near perfect slice of old school power pop mixed with garage rock. It's like they somehow found a way to mix Big Star with The Box Tops. This is the kind of rock 'n' roll that just doesn't get made any more. If the press release had said that this was a lost recording from an obscure, forgotten 60's band, you wouldn't question that at all. The Whiffs might end up being your new favorite band by this time next year. You can listen to "On the Boulevard" below. Another Whiff , the new album from The Whiffs, will be out December 6 on DIG!

When you see that there's a band called The Whiffs with an EP called Take a Whiff  and an upcoming album called Another Whiff , you're going to expect Blink 182 style bratty pop punk about farts. Kansas City's The Whiffs will shock you with their sound. Their latest single, "Shakin All Over" is 1970's/Big Star style power pop. It's filled with gorgeous three part harmonies, huge guitar riffs, and the catchiest choruses you could possibly imagine. Sure, there is still some punk edge in there, but "Shakin All Over" is more like solo Paul Westerberg than Sorry Ma, I Forgot to Take Out the Trash. You can listen to "Shakin All Over" below. Another Whiff , the upcoming album from The Whiffs, will be out December 6 on Dig! Records. You can pre-order it here . For more on The Whiffs, check them out on Facebook .

Norway's Level & Tyson have their sophomore album coming out in September, and you can check out one of the fuzz pop band's newest songs now. "No Fun My Head" is a beautiful, noisy burst that combines Psychic Hearts  era Thurston Moore with early Superdrag. The whole thing sounds like Sonic Youth deciding to take a swing for the fences and craft a top 40 hit. It wouldn't have made it, of course, but the intent was there. With its swirling, fuzzy as hell guitars, it will be the most 90s song you hear all day even if you play your 90s alternative Spotify playlist all day. Level & Tyson's new album, Gruesome Twosome, is due out September 25 on DIG! Records. You can listen to "No Fun My Head" below. Also, be sure to check out their website and Facebook to keep up with them.
