This week's show covers new music from Melbourne’s The Pro-Teens, London’s Two Shell, Brooklyn’s Mice Parade, and Toronto’s Alvvays.
For the archive track this week, Mark goes back to 1994 for a slice of what was called slowcore back in the day, from a California band who went as Idaho. The song in question is entitled “Sweep,” from the band’s This Way Out album. Not the happiest lyrics, but slowcore was generally known for that sort of somber songwriting. (Brendan considers this genre to be the antidote to grunge and all the bombast of the early 1990s.)
Of course, there are six more bonus tracks, but you have to sign up for our email newsletter to get those. (Great music is included there, too, ladies and gentlemen.) It's pretty easy to do, if you just click this link. (And do so without fear. We won't misuse your email address, as this show is run by two guys, Mark and Brendan; Not some faceless corporation.)
Lastly, don't miss our fabulous Spotify playlists. We make one for each episode of the show, so grab the latest if you are up to date, and dig into previous episodes if you are new here, or just curious. Have a terrific week!
