Sweeping Promises
The Tubs will release Hard Life, the band’s third album, on September 11.
The first single from the album, Who’s Gonna Love You Now, is great. It’s a continuation of the jangle rock that made the group’s first two albums so good. I can’t wait for this one.
Check out Who’s Gonna Love You Now here.
Sweeping Promises of Lawrence, Kansas, has a new album, You Say I Romanticize, coming out August 14.
The band seemingly popped up out of nowhere as a surprisingly good act three years ago with the release of the group’s second album. This is the first album since that 2023 breakthrough, Good Living is Coming for You.
Check out Cocoon, here.
Ty Segall is releasing a new album, Chrome, August 28.
The first single, Black Paint, is a burner.
Ty’s good friend, John Dwyer is among the most prolific indie music artists today. He recently surprised us with a new album by his band Osees, Off Course, five songs over 33 minutes.
Dwyer also released a four-song offering, Cara Maluco, in March which is worth checking out.
Speaking of prolific artists.
Robert Pollard’s long-running band Guided By Voices just released its 44th studio album, Crawlspace of the Pantheon. That’s 44 albums in just under 40 years.
How does it sound? It sounds like a Guided By Voices album. Some of the songs will fit in nicely with Pollard’s extensive catalogue.
It’s worth noting that Pollard also has almost two dozen solo albums and numerous side projects, putting his overall output closer to 100 albums.
Yet, I still listen. Pollard’s prolific and has still delivered enjoyable records. Here’s to many more years of Pollard.
A more recent discovery of mine, Remember Sports, reminds me of Wednesday and Ratboys but also of ’80s and ’90s punk and post punk. I like it.
The band’s album the Refrigerator is worth a spin.
