King Khan & the Shrines - "Born To Die"

New TracksGuest User1 Comment

Eclectic Berlin-based garage rock outfit King Khan & the Shrines is making their return with the track “Born To Die”.

The band has always had a great, raw sound that's pretty comparable to The Black Lips and other contemporary underground rock acts. However, they usually mix it with own uniquely psychedelic and funky stylings.

Having the added strings and horn section toward the end of the track really gives this song a warm feel, and some unprecedented texture. Looking for a summer anthem? Look no further.

This track comes from the band's next full-length album Idle No More. It'll be out on Merge Records this September. Enjoy!

The Gaye Blades- "Don't Get Married"

New Tracksadmin2 Comments

Here's a track from a new collaborative project featuring musicians from two of the best garage rock acts out there right now: Black Lips and Gentleman Jesse and His Men.

The Gaye Blades' first album is out now on Norton Records, and the track "Don't Get Married" alone makes picking it up worth it.

The chord progression and vocal melodies call out to rock 'n' roll's golden age--you know, a time when guys like Chuck Berry reigned supreme. However, the recording style and personality is lo-fi, filthy, and new. The song's subject matter is where most of the magic happens, though. The lyrics' violent threats--including kicking the groom in the nuts--are hysterical, and remind me why I follow the exploits of these bands in the first place.

Black Lips- Arabia Mountain

Reviewsadmin14 Comments

On the band's sixth album, Black Lips clean up their sound with Mark Ronson at the mixing board. And even though things are coming in cleaner and clearer, the band hasn't lost any of their energy and attitude in the process--which is what makes Black Lips records so great in the first place. While not every one of these sixteen songs is a certified hit, the album goes in a cohesive direction and brings absolutely no filler to the table.

Is this record for you? Find out in this review.
