Debut Track Of The Day

This track should be out last week but you know things happen, the timing didn’t help here but let’s go with this debut track for these guys from Louisville, Kentucky #garagepunk #punk #garagerock #horror

When asked about the track this was the answer “I Just Want To Kill is a high-speed brain bashing heart stabbing romp through the mind of a depraved megalomaniac. Partake if you dare!”

Another track born in this lockdown and it’s a critic to the news media for the way they present these dark histories.

Here the lyrics

I just wanna kill it’s all I wanna do
I’m lusting for my quaking blade inside of you
I wanna roll around and play in your blood
Then toss your aching naked body in the river when I’m done
I just wanna kill
it’s all I wanna do
I want to choke you out until your gagging and blue
Veins dilate as I desecrate
Jesus Christ, I love the way you hate

I need pain on display
Bound hands and legs raised
Sweat beads down your chin and face
Stay inside at night, that’s what I advocate

I just wanna kill it’s all I wanna do
I’m lusting for my quaking blade inside of you
I wanna roll around and play in your blood
Then toss that aching naked body in the river when I’m done

I just wanna kill
it’s all I wanna do
I want to choke you out until your gagging and blue
Veins dilate as I desecrate
Jesus Christ, I love the way you hate

I can’t take it anymore
White coats soiled with gore
Peeled from the freezer floor
I confess I’m not satisfied I need more

Throat Slashed By A Psychopath
That’s what the headline read: sensational blood bath
And Even if I get the chair I will not die
I will live on dateline nightline all through time
Please Gawk at my gallantry
The majesty of my depravity
Just fucking look at me
I know what I did I take full responsibility
My vile virility
I’m tabloid nobility
Don’t blame pornography or bad tv
Just blame me

Debut Track Of The Day

Hi everyone… I find this track today, the debut track for this girl Katja Nielsen that also is a singer and bassist for Arre! Arre! The point is that with this lockdown she has so much free time (instead of turning with the last year Arre! Arre! album or their new EP) so she starts this solo project called She/Beast.

She releases today as the lead single of the upcoming EP In The Deeps of Misery the track The Sadness Will Last Forever, the 5 tracks EP drops December 11, 2020.

Katja was diagnosed with bipolar disorder so in her own words “Writing music has always been a coping strategy for me. Feelings get bottled up in a very destructive way if I don’t write a song about something I’m going through.”

You can find this track in Playlist Debut Bands (Of The Radar)

‘CHRYSALIS’ – Tia Gostelow

Blogging this post with the election on in the background (it’s really close, yikes). This is a near perfect pop album that blends an original voice with a welcomed nostalgic early 2000s indie sound, basically my ideal pop album. It’s almost got that beach pop vibe going kind of like Summer Camp. Here’s banger number one:

Also this is cool, I just found that Tia does a track by track breakdown on YouTube which means I don’t even have to do my job, the heavy lifting has already been done.

This album really is amazing, there are no skips. It’s just banger after banger. Here is some completely original writing I did about Tia to give you some background:

Before you ask YES I’ve already sent this to our new resident pop expert Karl Octagon. Also in reference to the above text that I wrote myself and didn’t take from Spotify I actually know a thing or two about Paradigm, used to WORK THERE actually. If you sent mail to Paradigm in 2014 I likely had hands on it while wearing the most expensive suit I could afford and power-walking from mailbox to mailbox to make a good impression. Gotta start somewhere, right? 😉

Here’s banger number 2:

On ‘Chrysalis’ Tia shows off a rare aptitude of accessing emotional depth while maintaining the contradictory nonchalance that makes this album cool. I highly recommend checking out the whole album, it’s fist pumpers from start to finish.

In typical Mates fashion banger number 3 is the pallet cleanser of the album, it just blew me away:

Anyways, amazing album that admirably continues to elevate 2020 as a behemoth year for pop music albeit a shit year otherwise.

New Music Flavor – “illusion”

I have a terrible feeling…this song is going to both make and break your day.  

My ears. My heart. My soul. I’m conflicted by this beautiful song filled with pain and grief from a combination of artists who have witnessed and experienced tragedy and injustice.

Grayson, Uruguay and Danny Denial came together virtually over quarantine to create and produce this beautiful and bone-chilling piece of art called “illusion”.

These musicians have come together in a collaboration that melts so smoothly together, yet is so unapologetically representative of each of their sounds. You’d never know it by their smooth transitions, but these four musicians were never all in the same room while creating this track as they all live in different areas of the US and are all practicing social distancing and proper quarantine protocol.

While this song is emo and depressing and makes my heart hurt for all the friends I can’t protect right now, Stepha Murphy (half of Uruguay) insists that the song is also meant to be hopeful, as it is giving a voice to those who otherwise might not have one.

I think song also gives hope and inspiration to creatives and dreamers who feel stuck and helpless. If these four musicians can create such a seamless work of art from opposite sides of the country, you too can find a way to make your dreams a reality during quarantine. We are limited, but have extensive potential.

Shit is insane right now, for the love of your friends and family – PLEASE VOTE PLEASE PLEASE. Use the voice you have and scream with it, for not everyone receives that same privilege.

Tune in to Indie Pong Instagram Live TONIGHT AT 5PM PST/8PM EST for an exclusive interview with these cool cats! Stepha Murphy of Uruguay is doing our first “Friends of Indie Pong” takeover and will be interviewing both Grayson and Danny Denial.

New Music Flavor – Juno Francis “Oyster Love”

Today, the world welcomes Oyster Love with open arms – the new EP baby from retro-esque duo Juno Francis (Angelica Ranåsen and Jacob Fagerstå). Self described as “the lovechild of a 60s gentleman and an 80s lady”, this Berlin based duo first caught my ears on Instagram with their track “Queen’s Anthem”, which yes, I do believe was written for me personally and remains one of my go-to songs.

The sonic journey of Oyster Love begins with “Follow the Stars”, a dreamy lil tune that makes me feel like I’m in a peaceful forest feeding deer and singing to squirrels. How delightful is that?

Next up is the title track, which is self described as “the darker side of a romantic world view and the sacrifices made to chase self-fulfillment”. As a former emo kid who has recently recently returned to bad habits, this track is a great representation of my anxiety and current state of mind. Upbeat, jivey keys that get you dancing and leaves a smile with some badass, darker lyrics that keep it real and leave you just a touch antsy.

FINALLY WE GET TO “FIGHT”, THE SONG THAT I CAN’T STOP HUMMING TO. It’s so magical and sensual, I can see this track closing out a Twin Peaks Season 3 episode. David Lynch, if you’re reading this, I have your next featured artist.

With the final touch, “I Wanna Run Away” – about the only thing I have to say about this track is SAME! I can’t think of a sentiment I’ve repeated more over the last six months than expressing how much I want to run away to live in a cave on the beach, completely isolated. However, I’d make an exception for Juno Francis. They’re welcome in my hideout any day, as long as they bring the slinkin’ grooves.

Listen to the EP in full here! You’ll have it on repeat all weekend. I say that a lot, but you should know by now that I’m not writing about a song or an artist unless I truly believe you can jam the heck out to it.

Can’t get enough of Juno Francis? Tune into Indie Pong’s Instagram Live TOMORROW at 11am PST for an exclusive interview with Angelica and Jacob.

deryk – WOMb

deryk’s new EP got me like

Pass Out GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

Also what an album cover, am I right? I could paraphrase this but you know how I feel about paraphrasing, so here’s it is from Madeline Bradley AKA deryk herself:

My two favorites are the hard-hitting ‘Call You Out’:

And the absolutely gorgeous goodtimes:

This is a good article on Deryk’s story if you want to read it in depth:

https://thespinoff.co.nz/music/10-07-2020/deryk-is-her-name-will-the-world-know-it-by-the-years-end/

But in a nutshell at 22 the New-Zealand based Londoner was about ready to quit music and then teamed up with Justin Pilbrow and made ‘Call You Out’, and now they’re blowing up.

Glad to hear it because I’m certainly looking forward to more deryk in the future. You can catch some deryk and more songs from the week tomorrow when I update the weekly playlist.

Metal in the Morning – Ulver’s “Russian Doll”

Ulver is one of my favorite bands in part because they are always evolving and refuse to be pigeon-holed. Their early records in the 90’s such as “Bergtatt” are atmospheric black metal but through the years, they’ve quickly shifted gears into new (yet organic) territory on each subsequent release. 2017’s masterful “The Assassination of Julius Caesar” saw the band give synth-pop a try and the results were stunning. On their latest album, “Flowers of Evil”, Ulver continues in the same vein as the previous album but goes in a somewhat darker, more melancholy direction. As always, the band never fails to impress and they even included a fantastic book about the history of the group.

One of the tracks on the album I enjoy the most is “Russian Doll”. Check out the music video below and if you like what you hear, support Ulver on their Bandcamp page.

New Music Flavor – Magic Bronson “I Don’t Know Man”

Honestly man, I don’t know either….but this track is pretty dope.

Magic Bronson, an LA based indie duo, are unsurprisingly playful and quirky – staples that seem to be crucial to all acts under Handwritten Records. In their own words, they “spearhead music trends, tackling social issues and the anxiety of what’s going on in the world and coupling it with sensational and experimental melodies”. Sounds pretty relevant to me.

Side note, if anyone starts to “know man”, please let Magic Bronson and myself know.

New Music Flavor – B & the Hive “Heart Beat”

It’s hard to know what existence is these days – are we here? Are we gone? Is my heart still beating? THANK GOODNESS B & the Hive pulled through with their new EP “Heart Beat” to serve as a sonic defibrillator.

California cruisin’ kids, B & the Hive are best known for their ethereal and inspiring tunes as well as their strong sense of community. With the release of Give Love, they prompted fans to send in submissions for the music video WHICH IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO SITUATIONS. In the famous words of Marie Kondo, these buzzin’ bees sure do “spark joy”.

Don’t just take my word for it – check out what all the buzz is about for yourself!

PS Stay Tuned…..a little bee told me the Hive may make a pitstop on Indie Pong on their way to the Queen Bee’s hive.
