If It's Too Loud...

Photo via Facebook It might be a little strange to listen to a band called Wonderflu at this point in 2020 during a global pandemic, but we won't hold that against them. The Parisian band's newest single, "Mad College," is a glorious 90's throwback. This song feels like the mid-90's, when grunge was mostly faded away and everything was called "post grunge," which was really just power pop with crunchy guitars. "Mad College" is much more Fountains of Wayne and Superdrag than Nirvana and Alice in Chains. It's a fun indie rock song, and there can never be enough of those. You can watch the video for "Mad College" below. Bubblegum , the new EP from Wonderflu, will be out November 27 on Influenza Records. For more on Wonderflu, check them out on Facebook .

Hailing from France, Coude have just released a new EP that's sure to appeal to fans of 90's indie rock. Save Our Souls  starts off with "Break Your Balls" that sounds as if Sonic Youth and Kathleen Hanna had so much fun on the "Bull In the Heather" video that she joined the band as a full time member. Sonic Youth comparisons will continue with "Rave Down," as the vocals are quite reminiscent of Thurston Moore. That is, until the song takes a weird turn into Ciccone Youth territory. It isn't all Sonic Youth style indie rock. "You Will Never Be Mine" has a much more sensitive feel than Sonic Youth specialized in. It's still a noisy, discordant indie rock song, but there is something truly lovely about it at the same time. You can listen to "Rave Down" below. Save Our Souls , the new EP from Coude, is available now via Influenza Records. You can get a copy here . For more on Coude, check them out on Facebook . Sav...
