Big Troubles - Romantic Comedy

Big Troubles - Romantic Comedy

Romantic Comedy came out this September on Slumberland Records, and despite what Pitchfork may say this album slays. Don't expect the noisy shoegaze of their debut Worry (though they still give a tip of the cap to it here and there), this is a pure indie pop masterpiece. If you dig The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Real Estate, The Smith Westerns and Siamese Dream-era Pumpkins then this will be your new favourite album.

French Films - Imaginary Future

French Films - Imaginary Future

I meant to post this awhile back but I am very lazy. I've been waiting for a full-length from these dudes ever since I heard the Golden Sea EP last year. French Films play totally rad indie rock that any fan of New Order, The Drums and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart will surely dig. Top notch jams right here that you just can't help but sing along with.

Rational Animals - Bock Rock Parade

Rational Animals - Bock Rock Parade

These dudes sound like the perfect blend of Black Flag and Black Sabbath. This came out in the fall on Katorga Works (which is one of the best labels going) and it totally caught me by surprise with it's awesomeness. Bock Rock Parade is a total fucking beast of an album; It's punk, it's hardcore, and it's fucking metal. There is some serious Ginn worship going on here. This is one of the better records I've heard all year. Do yourself a favour, pick this up and play it real fucking loud.

Wavelets - Athaletics

Wavelets - Athaletics

Wavelets hail from Gainesville, FL but sound like they're from the mid-west. These dudes play twinkly indie rock and they play it very well. If you like American Football, or more recently Everyone Everywhere, then you'll totally be into these dudes. Tiny Engines Records just put this bad-boy out (Is there a better label going today? These dudes are seriously batting a thousand; Not one bad release) so go and buy it in every colour.
