MP3: School Knights - Fuck The Beach
This is the third track from their debut record that Colorado’s School Knights have slung our way and by now it’s clear that these dudes take good vibes extremely seriously. There’s a certain 2k11 self-awareness to calling a perfectly fuzzy pop-punk jam like this “Fuck The Beach”, but even with that (and the chorus’s sarcastic “He’s so cool/She’s so cool” refrain) it’s hard to deny this song’s exuberance: the cascading guitar harmonics, the backing ooh-oohs, the gleeful thrashiness of it all. It doesn’t sound totally removed from the sun n’ fun vibes of guitarist Michael Stein’s other band, Weed Diamond. School Knights have just released a 7” on the excellent Bridgetown label, which has previously put out records from Cloud Nothings and Ancient Crux; their debut LP’s out mid-year.

Here’s another gloriously fuzzed-out electro-lounge banger from a thoroughly heartbroken James Pants. Taken from the man’s new record (now self-titled, out April 19 on Stones Throw), which is apparently all over the map stylistically in the best possible way:

Rayon Beach - Death Rides a Horse 7”
Following up a great HoZac EP with an even more ferocious single on the ever consistent Plastic Spoon Records, Rayon Beach bring more of their psych-addled garage to this single. It takes a certain amount of panache to really meld psych and garage without sounding overly hippy and Rayon Beach seem to balance the buzz saw crunch and rumble with just the right amount of space scraping effects. If the first 12” felt like a primer, then these three songs sounds like the band really starting to hit their stride and they’ve certainly peaked my interest to see what the band brings next.

By now you’ve probably noticed our affinity for Mind Spiders and their powerful guitar-driven pop quick hitters. “Don’t Let Her Go” is just as charmingly brash and bottles a fist full of raw energy in to just under 2 minutes. Their debut, self-titled, LP is now available from Dirtnap Records on blue vinyl (first 200). Get it.
Running through just about every inch of jangle-pop you could rack your brain to name, Tyler Jon Tyler are a stripped down shamble that can’t help but bring a smile to the lips of anyone who grew up bopping the Raincoats and the Vaselines. Plucking members from The Ponys and Daily Void, and shaking them up with a healthy dose of earnest female vocals, the band has just released their debut LP for the brand new Slow Fizz imprint. The band’s popped up here in the past with a single on Trouble in Mind and the full length builds on all the promises of those early singles. No frills and no fuss and that’s kinda what keeps it so charming and loose. Just one of those solid pop records that makes you feel fifteen forever.
