The Head debut new single “Jesus” via PureVolume.com

If you never heard of Atlanta trio The Head, you’ll have no excuse after they release their Millipedes EP in November. Comprised of guitarist Jacob Morrell, singer/bassist Mike Shaw and his drummer brother Jack, The Head have a sound that’s rawer and powerful than their age —early 20s — would indicate. Their heavy dose of vintage college rock, lo-fi garage rock and shoegaze is a welcome throwback, yet retains a sonic quality that feels at home in 2015. The trio has held their own opening for bands like Primal Scream, Steve Wynn and Those Darlins, and have been approved by the likes of Big Star’s Jody Stephens, producer Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Pavement), John Vanderslice and Guided By Voices’ Doug Gillard. Today, we’re stoked to premiere the band’s “Jesus,” which mixes the delicate balance between heavy and aggressive without teetering over the edge leading to an exciting wall of reverb that punches you in the face. Oh, and Mike Shaw’s vocals recalls some of the early grunge greats and that doesn’t hurt either. READ MORE…

Sydney Eloise & The Palms release their debut LP, Faces; Creative Loafing gives 4 out of 5 star review, hosts album stream

Sydney Eloise reveals a lush, ’60s pop sound with her debut album, Faces (the Cottage Recording Co./Bear Kids). Marking an impressive departure from the girls-night-out country pop of her early single “Bad Suzie,” songs such as “Tell Me What I Want to Hear,” “Sorry, Not Sorry,” and “Always Sailing,” manage the impressive feat of abandoning pretense without sacrificing her gifts for melody and a sweeping voice. Backed by the Palms, featuring Damon Moon (bass, drums) and Chandler Galloway (keyboards), maturity is a group effort. Eloise’s delivery is inseparable from the larger than life production. Nowhere is this truer than “The Loneliest Boy In NY,” a lilting closer sung by a woman embracing her true identity. LISTEN HERE…

Flagpole Magazine premieres Houston In The Blind’s hushed piano ballad “Sleeping Pill”

New Athens/Atlanta four-piece band Houston in the Blind is building some nice buzz in advance of its debut album, Limbs, out Oct. 9 and available to pre-order on Bandcamp. Today, we’re pleased to give y’all a taste of the record in the form of “Sleeping Pill,” Limbs‘ heartfelt, minimalist closing number.

Though the record incorporates elements of shoegaze, dream-pop and motorik psychedelia, “Sleeping Pill” centers on bandleader Charlie Garrett, who sings plaintively over a simple piano movement. The two-and-a-half-minute song encapsulates Garrett’s vision for the album, which he says “deals in some way with human relationships—not just romantic, but also family and friends.” READ MORE…

Performer Magazine debuts new track “Unspoken” from The Head’s EP Millipedes

Performer is excited to premiere the new track “Unspoken” by The Head, off their new EP Millipedes, out Nov. 13. LISTEN BELOW and leave a comment.

Singer/bassist Mike Shaw has this to say about the song: “The lyrics to ‘Unspoken’ kind of just came out on the spot as we were playing the music. So you could definitely say it’s a stream-of-consciousness type of song. The music itself came very similarly. We were all just messing around with chord progressions in our rehearsal space until a melody formed. There wasn’t much planning or second guessing with the song. It was born out of pure instinct…We’ve been on the road a lot lately, and we have a different relationship with the songs on the new EP now that we’ve been playing them live. The studio has its limits, whereas the road allows us to change the nuances in our songs night by night. The road gives us room to experiment.” LISTEN HERE…

Immersive Atlanta premieres Sydney Eloise & The Palms’ “I Like You”

For an album that spends much of its time mining the music of the past, Faces, the debut full length from Sydney Eloise & the Palms, feels considerably timeless. Take, for example, the group’s latest single, “I Like You,” which we’re excited to be premiering today. It’s a song that flirts with ’60s soul and ’90s alt-country — sounds which, given the current musical landscape, could easily come off as dusty and anachronistic. But with a performance that is both is both breezy and spirited, Eloise and her cohorts manage to encase the tune in a velvety pop sheen that feels classic and fresh. READ MORE…
