Eagulls - Tough Luck

Hey, man, wanna slow down with the electronica/rap dig? I mean, you like rock music. I know you. Yet you come here every day and I'm lucky to see it once a week. Once a week?! On the internet? It's literally impossible to think that there's just no new rock music worthy of your time.

Damn. That digs. Maybe I forgot who I am. Well, this band Eagulls from Leeds has been dropping in my inbox for a while now. They're pretty damn good. Not fluttery indie rock with a "dream pop" adjective attached. Just straight-up piss-tank rock music. It's pretty good. "Tough Luck" comes from the band's "Tough Luck"/"Opaque" 7", which comes out December 16 on Partisan Records. You should check it out.

Deer Tick - The Dream's In The Ditch

Over the course of the next few weeks, Deer Tick will be releasing bits and pieces of its new LP Negativity up until its formal September 24 release. The first of which comes in the form of a slow-motion, reverse shot video for the criminally crafty "The Dream's In The Ditch." It's a relatively simple video, featuring the band's adventurous limo ride through Providence, Rhode Island, performing the ol' Chinese Fire Drill.

Check it out below. Negativity is set for release September 24 in the U.S. and 30 in Europe, courtesy of Partisan Records. Also catch the band performing "The Dream's In The Ditch" on Conan September 25.

New Pure Bathing Culture - Dream The Dare

Following up the curiously engaging "Pendulum," the first single from Pure Bathing Culture's upcoming Moon Tides, the duo of Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman have another delicately enchanting single, "Dream The Dare."

Versprille and Hindman, who started the project outside of Vetiver, follow a similar model as "Pendulum," with shimmering guitar play and lifting vocals. Both tracks have set up what could end up being one of 2013's best efforts.

Moon Tides is set for release August 19 in the UK, and August 20 in the U.S. on Partisan Records. Stream "Dream The Dare" below.

Thursday Bears: New Deer Tick - Main Street

It's not some topical offshoot of the Occupy movements, which I'm sure will be taken seriously in song anyway, so no worries. "Main Street" is the first single off Deer Tick's recently released Divine Providence, courtesy of Partisan Records. And just like a lot of what Deer Tick does, it's still kinda underrated.
