Beach Bums: Sappy’s “Summer Of Love”
Sometimes, you want to compare an artist to a different act out there, and you worry that maybe…just maybe…you are wrong. And then you have the moments when bands are just like “yeah, this is what we are going for.” A minute or so into Sappy’s “Summer Of Love” video, the camera focuses on a…
New Kamisama Club: “Mamono”
“Mamono,” the latest from wonky pop duo Kamisama Club, does something all of their previous work has done, but in a much clearer way.

New Extruders: “Collapsing New Buildings”
We most certainly do not write about Extruders enough around here.
