If It's Too Loud...

Photo via Facebook Some bands sound exactly like their names. The Helltones are not one of those bands. The Oakland, CA band have a garage rock base to their sound, which makes sense, but that garage rock base leans quite heavily into the world of soul and surf rock. Their latest single, "All My Heart," is a beautiful mid-tempo song that sounds more like Durand Jones & The Indications than The Cramps. It's a fun song with a vintage vibe, but without being a throwback. It's reminding me a lot of Arctic Monkeys' first album, but without the breakneck speed. The Helltones are just one of those bands you owe it to yourself to check out. You can listen to "All My Heart" below. Medusa is due out November 17.

Photo by Ian Castro The latest single from The Helltones don't sound like what you'd expect them to based on their name. The Oakland garage rockers go straight up soul and R&B on "When We're Moving." This song is pure vintage soul. It sounds like it could be a lost track from fifty to sixty years ago. But what sets "When We're Moving" apart from other modern vintage soul songs is just how rough it sounds. While most others are polished and shimmering smooth, The Helltones have an unexpected edge to their song, making it sound like a truly underground forgotten classic. By the time the horn kicks in, you'll be won over. You can listen to "When We're Moving" below. Medusa is due out November 17. For more on The Helltones, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram .
