If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Rian Archer I hate repeating what a press release says about a band or song, but the one for the latest from Wishy nails it. "Lovesick" is compared to The Cure and The Sundays, and that pretty much explains it. The song is covered in a dreamy hazy throughout, mixing shoegaze and dream pop along with some bubblegrunge. This is kind of exactly what we'd want a song called "Lovesick" by a band named Wishy to sound like. It's an updated version of our favorite college/indie rock from the late 80's and early 90's. This is a killer track that modernizes some of our favorite musical styles. You can watch the video for "Lovesick" below. Nature's Pill is due out October 2 on Winspear, and is available for pre-order here . For more on Wishy, check out the band on Instagram . Upcoming tour dates are below the video and include October 14 at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. 07/25 – Cleveland, OH @ House of Blues * 07/26 – Indianapolis, IN @ ...

I love shoegaze as much as the next guy, but it doesn't necessarily rock. Enter Los Angeles's Tennis System. The band has all the fuzz and swirling distortion you want in bands like My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus & Mary Chain, but "Shelf Life," their latest single, is a flat out rock song. There's an edge not typically seen in shoegaze. Tennis System aren't exactly metal based shoegaze, but there is a hint of metal in here. Maybe the level of metal that a band like Pelican deals in. "Shelf Life" is a hard rocking, distorted blend of shoegaze, and we couldn't be happier with it. You can listen to "Shelf Life" below. Lovesick , the new album from Tennis System, will be out August 2 on Graveface Records. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp .
