Speakers in Code play Willie and the Giant’s new single “Ain’t Gonna Wait” for their Jam of the Day

Your week has been missing a shot of good old fashioned soul music, hasn’t it? Just be honest with yourself. It has. That’s why you’re about to be crazy about Nashville’s Willie & the Giant and their debut single “Ain’t Gonna Wait”, which is lush with horns and smooth guitars, set off by frontman Will Stewart’s vocals which never quite seem to fit against the music, in a staggered and staccato pattern that absolutely works for the chorus, where Stewart pleads that he ain’t gonna wait no more. The vocals hurry over the horns, the horns push against the guitars and the organ, the whole song tilts forward a little bit like a drunk, but it all ends with a perfect chord and a perfect fade out.

Gringo Star’s dreamy, washed-out new video for “World of Spin” finds the band playing a hurricane party. Check it out exclusively at CMJ

The world’s a party in Gringo Star’s new video for World Of Spin. Though news reports threaten the apocalypse, the grainy footage shows the band playing live at house parties and backyard bbqs, causing everyone within hearing range to drop their doomsday prepping and start shaking a leg. Add to that the fact that the song itself is a doo-wop-indebted surf jingle swelling with harmonies, and you’ve got the perfect distraction cocktail that’ll take your mind off anything.

World Of Spin will appear on Gringo Star’s upcoming 7-inch, which will be the debut release of Grand Rapids, MI label dizzybird records. Brian Hoekstra, who co-founded the label with Nicole LaRae, said, “Working with Gringo Star has been on my mind since I met them at CMJ a few years ago. Gringo Star has a unique, adventurous psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll sound that’s infectious and timeless—these two sides could’ve come out at any point in the last 50 years. And now that dizzybird is releasing this 7-inch, we all get to dream together.” WATCH HERE…

Pure Volume premieres The Killing Floor’s new single “Corruption Capital”

The Killing Floor have been hard at work this year recording their sophomore full-length, and though we won’t see the final result until early next year, the New-York-by-way-of-London alt-rock quartet is giving us a little taste of what to expect. Today, we’re excited to premiere the band’s first single off the upcoming album, “Corruption Capital.” Pulling from influences like Muse and the Foo Fighters, the track is a seamless blend of melody and gritty, political rock. Stream “Corruption Capital” above.

“‘Corruption Capital’ was actually an idea that the band had knocking around for a while,” rhythm guitarist/background vocalist Oliver Alberici begins. “It started out life as a simple chord progression that I had but didn’t really know what to do with. That was until one well-oiled and rather foggy night in Marco’s basement. We were jamming at his studio space in Brooklyn, and he was on the drums. He played me that 6/8 beat which sounded great and I thought ‘Hello I might have something for that,’ played the chords and we both realised we we had the beginnings of a decent tune.

“The next day Mark was over and we excitedly played him our previous night’s discovery. He then picked up the bass as Marco was still hammering the kit and started with that driving bass rhythm. After a few more beers and a few more tweaks, we had the rough bones of the song down. Then for whatever reason we kinda left it for a while. It works like that sometimes. We always have a number of ideas floating around and when we feel the time is right, we’ll pick them out and work on them again. That point came probably a good year or so later. We had worked on a rough melody and lyrical idea in between but it wasn’t until we were writing and rehearsing at Stonehouse Studios in England, which is in an old converted barn in the Surrey countryside, that the song really came together. Pete hits his drums hard so straight away the beat sounded great and we were all cooking. That’s when Mark came up with that guitar riff over the chorus, which really took it to eleven! LISTEN HERE…

Under The Gun Review premieres SEX BBQ’s “Empty Shells” off their upcoming debut LP, Sex Noir City

Atlanta-based gypsy and surf rock quintet SEX BBQ is gearing up to release one of the fall’s most clever releases, Sex Noir City. The record, due out November 25, is self-described as having a “party element,” while still containing a certain sense of “mystique.” It’s a record bound to keep you on your toes.

Today, Under The Gun is teaming up with the band to bring you the brand new cabaret-influenced track, “Empty Shells.” The song spits fast verses with psychedelic choruses. It’s a track viable enough for present day, but exuberant enough for a time past. It’s like the B-52s with more moxy. Singer and guitarist Kate Jan had this to say about the new song:

“Writing “Empty Shells” was an attempt to flee my own maniacal thoughts during the preoccupation phase of a new love. I came up with the swirling frenzy of a first verse while walking home from Emory Hospital after work. The thought of this guy blasted me with the first gust of fresh air when I opened the hospital doors. Yeasayer songs about a new spring pumped through my headphones, soundtracking thoughts of his blue eyes, the way he walked, the way his keys jangled, the way he carefully placed his bike in the back of his truck—at once, masculine and graceful.” LISTEN HERE…

Great writeup on Willie and the Giant in this Earmilk column on non-country Nashville music

Switching gears completely, away from everything you can do on a laptop, and everything hip hop is a brand new band called Willie and the Giant. They came to my ears in typical Nashville fashion – I was grilling pork ribs, shirtless, in my front yard, and my neighbor Grant came and delivered me a beer. (Because if you’re already grilling shirtless, it’s safe to assume you’ll want a beer.) I had just moved into my house, so he and I got to know each other. He mentioned playing bass in a band, so I joined him in his Honda while he played me his band’s demo. READ MORE…
