Shortstraw plays a rough but incredibly upbeat brand of indie rock that could only come from a place like Johannesburg. Their new record even features a song for morning people!
As far as "Couch Potato" goes, it's a winner of an opening track, and has a pretty hilarious, infectious hook. Enjoy!
Oakland hardcore punk act Nervous has its self-titled debut full-length scheduled to drop on September 24 via San Francisco's Twelve Gauge Records. Considering how rough and wild the band's approach is, it should be no surprise that one of the group's members plays with Loma Prieta, too. Above, you can pre-order the album on 12" as well as stream its anthemic opening track "Good Morning."
