Austin, TX band Marmalakes will see the release of their debut full-length, Please Don't Stop, on Austin Town Hall Records May 11, 2018. The band have already shared the opening cut from the record, which you can stream below and on Gold Flake Paint who did the honors of premiering. They call the track, "an immediate and formidable bout of guitar-pop that deals the kind of heavy blow that leaves listener woozily in its wake."
Does "a blast of retro fuzz and howling garage rock riffs" sound like something you need in your life right now? If so, you should go check out Bummerville's new single "C U Gone" over at Post-Trash, who have the premiere today.
The Fleeting Ends are a group of Philadelphia native musicians that have reformed and reclaimed the name after the original lineup parted ways in 2014. Frontman Matthew Vantine is back with a new band and a new collection of songs due out February 16. The first single, "20 Something," premiered today at Atwood Magazine called the song "athemic" and "the sort of reintroduction most bands only dream of."
Narrow Head are embarking on a tour of the West Coast and have a new album in the works, but for now, they've shared a fuzzy new single over at New Noise Magazine. The track, "Bulma," harkens back to your 90s emo days--distorted guitars, hazy vocals and tight drumming makes this one meant to be played at a high volume. New Noise thinks this song soars: " The track feels at one with the sky above, giving a warm atmosphere that shines through the cloudier of days." Take a listen below and check out if Narrow Head will be in a city near you soon.

Eric Benoit will be releasing his sophomore album at the end of this month and from Heartrender, he's shared a new track called "Taos." Earbuddy has the premiere of the song, which is a mostly mellow and intimate number about the trials of a brief but devastating relationship. Relying mostly on the stripped sound, Benoit crafts a simple and beautiful song that begs you to listen again, but not before it explodes at its end. His new album, Heartrender, will be out on January 26.
New York Electric Piano have gone live today with their latest track of jazz riffs, "Road To Joy," and Tiny Mix Tapes has the premiere. The song is a six minute adventure into dueling pianos and sonic landscapes built upon improvisation. A live cut, the band demonstrates their mastery of building something out of nothing while maintaining a narrative your ears can latch onto. This track is taken from the band's upcoming release, State of the Art, which will be out shortly on January 12 via Fervor Records. Check it out below and then go pre-order your copy.
