Wet Ashes: “Spot On The Sun”

by

Wet Ashes is a Chicago rock band with influences ranging from Post Punk to Brit Pop and New Wave to Shoegaze. Their beginning goes back to 2009, when singer/guitarist Angel Soto presented a few of his compositions to Raul “Picho” Torres. Soon, the ideas between the two of them began to flow naturally and it was inevitable that Picho would produce and create the musical arrangements for Angel’s songs.

They have just released their new video for “Spot On The Sun” in support of their self-released effort, Acoustronic Tales, that came out this week.

Melvins & Teri Gender Bender: “Rebel Girl”

by

Joyful Noise recently announced its new “Almost Live from Joyful Noise” series, which features limited edition singles from some of their favorite artists, recorded at the label’s Indianapolis-based performance space. Tracked live in the empty space (hence almost live), each release in the series is cut on the spot using a 1940s record lathe and is limited to just 100 copies on hand-made 7″ records with screen-printed jackets.

The semi-regular series kicked off with a special performance by the Melvins. With the help of Teri from Le Butcherettes, the band recorded a cover the the Bikini Kill classic “Rebel Girl,” which you can watch right now. Simply put – it rocks!

Video Premiere: Company Of Selves – “Presidential Model”

by

After just featuring Fleeting Youth Records last week in our Indie Does It Best: Five Labels You Should Be Supporting and talking about their focus on indie, punk and garage genres, the label throws us a new one – escape rock from New York’s Company Of Selves.

The band’s debut record, Butterfly Handlers & Memory Travelers, is out this Friday and today TFN is premiering the video for “Presidential Model.” You only need to watch the video once to get a good feel of Company Of Selves – Their music (and video) is a mind bend! If you like that edge of rock, Company Of Selves is for you as “Presidential Model” pulses with an intensity that is about a woman beginning to awake from a world of mind-controlled imprisonment that is based on a book written by Brice Taylor. Deep stuff for a Monday I know but think of it as the perfect jolt to shake out the weekend cobwebs.

The band itself is comprised of a crew of friends that have been playing around New York for some time and is led by the multi-talented Christopher Hoffman. He currently plays in several other bands and also is a songwriter, composer, cellist, as well as working with such artists as Marianne Faithfull, Ryan Adams, Iron & Wine, Craig McDean and Michael Pitt.

The music and video today speaks for itself as I think the track is very Eels meets the apocalypse. You really can’t go wrong with that combo – so check it out and then head on over to Fleeting Youth and pre-order your copy today HERE!
