Artist: Wavves
Release: Afraid of Heights (2013)
Label: Mom + Pop Music
Rating: 3.5 / 5

afraid of heights coverIn the two decades since alternative rock and grunge music burst on to FM radio, there have been few bands that have really been able to recreate the magic of the genre’s golden years. It is not like it’s an overly complex genre musically, but bands seem to struggle to find that perfect balance between the heavy lead guitars, angsty vocals and production. When Dinosaur Jr. returned in 2007 with “Beyond”, effortlessly regaining their form, it felt like J. Mascis saying “Come on guys, this is how it’s done”. And it was hard to argue, given that I struggle to think of many artists that were doing 90’s alt rock that well in 2007.

music-video-addiction-gifIt’s St. Patrick’s Day, and as the Irish do on St. Patrick’s Day, we will just play some good music videos and not dump lots of green and House of Pain videos on you. Sit back and listen / view, and make sure to share and / or leave a comment since we love to hear from you. We hope you enjoy the tracks as much as we have this week.

Glass Candy: The Possessed – cool electronic.

Mister Lies: Hounded - there is something I am really liking about this track.

Digits: Street Violence - I can’t stop playing this video.

Foals: Late Night - new Foals, but NSFW.

Wavves: Demon To Lean On - latest from Wavves.

Ducktails: Letter Of Intent - very cutesy track from New York.

Thanks for watching this edition. We’ll be back again next Sunday with more music videos for your viewing and listening pleasure, so pop back in again and look back in the archives for older editions.

Thanks,

The weekend rolls to a close and that means another edition of our weekly music video picks. I am heading back to New Jersey this week and after my last experience there, this edition represents my feelings about the trip – depression, escapist and angsty. I hope you enjoy.

Wavves: Bug - super catchy track of the week.

Craft Spells: Your Tomb - good early 80s inspired pop here.

Young Galaxy: Peripheral Visionaries - new video and cool animations from YG.

Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire: The Last Huzzah - warning – this one is very dirty, but features Das Racist, Danny Brown and EL-P.

Mastodon: Curl of the Burl - such a good video.

Grade: Termites Hollow - screamy but catchy.

Check back next week post-NJ trip, and there will be another edition of the music video selections. Please remember to leave a comment – we love hearing from you.

Thanks,
