Froth – “Contact” [Video]

Froth is back in 2017 with a new album called Outside that is set to release February 10th via Wichita Recordings. “Contact” is your first listen and view of the band since last year’s solid LP Bleak.
“Contact” shows their progression with a moodier and more atmospheric bend to their shoegazing melodicism and pop sensibilities. Their full length will be something to look forward to in early 17′.

Ryley Walker – “The Roundabout” [Video]

Ryley Walker definitely has potential and on his new record, Golden Sings That Have Been Sung (out 8/19 on Dead Oceans) he could just possibly land in our Top 50 of 2016. Following his excellent 2015’s Primrose Green, Walker continues to grow as a songwriter and Golden Sings is said to be a distinctly Chicago record and you can really feel the weight of that city’s influence upon first listen.

The video for his latest single “The Roundabout,” was directed, filmed and edited by Joe Martinez Jr. and is all about the fireworks. The video backs up the Chicago theme and probably will remind many of past 4th holiday celebrations!

Big Eyes – Stake My Claim [Video]

Have you checked out Big Eyes yet? They are a punk band with pop sensibilities and can simply rock out a song. Their upcoming LP, Stake My Claim, is out August 19 via Don Giovanni Records. RIYL: Joan Jett, Weezer, The Clash, Bleached
