MIKAL CRONIN - ST LP

If you have been following the garage resurgence (though, it's always around) in the past few years then it is certain you have heard a thing or two from Mikal Cronin. Having done work with the Moonhearts and with Ty Segall, Cronin recently started putting out some work under his own name. This release (the two demos that are available through his bandcamp)was produced by Ty Segall on Trouble In Mind Records,and is much like his last 7''; it oozes with some excellent 60s infuenced rhythms, grooves, and ooooos and ahhhhhhs. Though it's on the lighter side of the music spectrum it's a fantastic listen. Couldn't find a leak, yet...it's probably out there, you just need to look harder than we did. This release also has special cameos by Ty Segall, Charlie Moonheart, and John Dwyer! Take a listen! AAAAAANNNND, if you don't want to download each song individually, because it's a huge pain in the ass to do that, then click on that mediafire DOWNLOAD link and it'll be easy as one click, two click, red click, blue click.

CATHOLIC SPRAY

Here's one you may have seen on a blog near you and here it is again. Catholic Spray, a four piece, from Paris France have got a great garage sound. At moments you may find that the reverb and delay on the vocals is a smidge too thick , but they have a consistent sound. Their guitar work, simple rhythms, and ooooohs 'n' aaaaaaaaaaahs show heavy influence from classic surf/trash/weirdo punk artists, as well as some contemporary favourites like Ty Segall. If you could understand what was being sang, you'd probably sing along, so instead just move your mouth and pretend like you listened to them before they existed. And for you true collectors, you can find their split cassette with Zyklon Beach at 7inchalla. It's suggested you buy it, but if you are cheap...or poor for that matter, then get their side of the split for FREE! Catholic Spray also has a handful of music videos hangin' around the web, and you should find them, then watch them and listen to them and love them and tell you friends about them and go to a show to see them.

MOONHEARTS

Though we've seen leaks and reviews of the Moonhearts' self-titled release all over the internet, it is time to see another. In the same fashion as so many before and after, Moonhearts (much like Jay Reatard or Ty Segall-Mike Cronin from Moonhearts did a little number with Ty Segall) cross-breed elements of folk, psychedelic, surf, power-chord progression, and the genuine natures of lo-fi recording to create a high energy crunchy rock and roll. With the average length of each song coming in at about 2 minutes and 45 seconds these new age garage masters(Not new age the genre), get straight to the point; it's time to move to some fuckin' rock and roll. With the vocals pushed back and covered in cassette-recorded beauty, the flawless and dirty guitar riffs and rhythms leave it impossible to stay still. There are some bands that are staring to defy the way garage rock should sound in this decade, and this is one of the bands. Though we all essentially understand garage and rock and roll as borrowed progressions and stolen riffs, there is a strong movement of appreciation for the rock and roll's beginnings and is soon enough going to be known to the MTV world as some sort of post-garage-rock-revival, and it's bands like the Moonhearts who will be leading this style of music to a wider audience, but by then it will all be way too "(INSTERT YEAR)" to think that it was cool, and we'll all be stroking some other band or genre. Nonetheless, we are in the now, and right now you should listen to Moonhearts--they are garage rock.
