Nylon Spotlights New Album from Lil Daggers

FREE MUSIC: LIL DAGGERS
Our friends from Miami have two tracks just for you.



When we arrived in Miami last year to research our annual America Issue, we expected to find swimsuit designers (check), surfers (check), and amazing rave nights (check).

But senior editor Natalie Shukur and art director Nicole Michalek also discovered a swarming punk scene, which featured homegrown, home-grimed bands like Lil Daggers.

Santah Premieres Title Track to New Album "White Noise Bed" at Consequence of Sound

Check Out: Santah – “White Noise Bed” (CoS Premiere)



While the title immediately brings to mind images of explosive noise, the song is a restrained and tightly constructed track of pure ’70s influence. With a hazy kind of twang, it should also garner comparisons to a more folksy version of Vampire Weekend or a younger, slightly more poppy Wilco and/or Whiskytown. However they got their sound, it’s definitely one worthy of lengthy exploration.

The Washington Post Reviews Title Tracks' "In Blank" Out Now on Ernest Jenning

Critic's Pick:
Title Tracks "In Blank"



Where the first Title Tracks album was essentially a solo project, the new “In Blank” features a full band. Yet this set is more stylistically single-minded than its predecessor. Singer-songwriter-guitarist John Davis (late of Q and Not U) emphasizes headlong power-pop. Even the lone cover, a version of the Flamin’ Groovies “I Can’t Hide,” fits snugly into the album’s brisk, trebly mode.

The main change-of-pace number, “Forget the Ghost,” has a mid-tempo MerseyBeat feel that suggests Davis’s previous band, the ’60s-struck Georgie James. (So does “It’s Wrong,” but with more thump.) Placed at the middle of the album, the song is a nice breather. But the trio promptly increases velocity, with bassist Michael Cotterman (a Washington Post employee) and drummer Andrew Black galloping like ’70s popsters who sense that punk is gaining on them.

Former Thieves Stream Debut Album "The Language That We Speak" at The AV Club!

LOUD: by Jason Heller
Stream of the Month: Former Thieves, The Language That We Speak



Before we crack open this month’s case of all things Loud, let’s warm up with our exclusive full-album stream: The Language That We Speak, the debut by Iowa’s Former Thieves. I’ll admit it outright: I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff. Taking Converge’s metalcore template and beating it into a blunter shape, the band shoots straight and cuts deep. But it also slips in plenty of gnarled riffs and knotty rhythms, not to mention an overall pall of twisted menace that feels straight out of Louisville circa 2003—namely Breather Resist and Black Cross. And with production by former These Arms Are Snakes drummer Chris Common at the famed Red Room in Seattle, the record doesn’t lack in attack.
