Wednesdays Singles

Halloween,Alaska is not actually a real place nor are any of the members from Alaska . They actually are from Minnesota . Halloween, Alaska formed in 2002 and have released a hand full of albums . The latest being Champagne Downtown, just released April 7th .

This song sounds like waking up on a Sunday morning after a fuzzy Saturday night . Stick around for the change half way through ..... " I'm Living on Champagne Downtown , I've been staying out all night. Simply beautiful.


Halloween , Alaska - Champagne Downtown DL



The Obits, I fuckin love these guys its raucous and loud hailing from Brooklyn , New York . This is one of the hottest sounds happening right now. It fast and furious with snarly vocals, dueling , choppy ,intricate guitars crashing into each other like outer space debris with the drums thrashing in the back unrelenting .
take the ride and pine on down below.

Obits - Pine on DL


Alright guys I am a little ashamed... sometimes i put up my music blocker and don't give something a fair shot . I come back later and wonder wtf was I thinking . I want to do a full and proper post on these guys . Who are they? The Secret machines coming from the lone star state Texas . They make epic songs each album is a bit different. I am still wrestling with these guys but I think overall they are making some cool sounds.

Secret Machines - Marconi's Radio DL

Crystal Antlers sounding like just they blasted back from the sixties all fuzzed out and distorted . Its a great tune I love the vocals and the images they paint . One of those screaming I'm down blues songs.

Crystal Antlers - Andrew DL

Finally Casiotone for the Painfully Alone . Really a one man project for Owen Ashworth from chicago.
I loved his last album Etiquette. Bobby Malone moves home had some personal meaning for me.
Earlier this year he released Advance Battery Life that was really a compilation, Now he just released a album of all new material Vs. Children. This is the album that shows Owen growing up and the lyrics reflect that . It's a great album and here is the single .
