Full album stream: Badlands - Battles Within EP

Back in January I posted Badlands' wonderful debut track "Never Dry Out", which is also the first single from their upcoming EP Battles Within, which will be released next Friday via Temporary Secretary. You can listen the full EP now though, and it's great, so make sure to give it a listen below.

Listen: Yuck - "Chew"

Well, chances are you've heard this by now, as it has made the rounds on the internet after being released yesterday, but if not; Yuck have released a new song titled "Chew", via their Soundcloud account. If you had any doubt then don't, it's just as good as everything else they done so far. Another hazy indie rock gem, which may or may not see physical release later on. Give it a listen below.

Full album stream: Hip Hatchet - Joy And Better Days

Little over a month ago I posted "Sing Me A Reprise", the first single from Hip Hatchet's second LP Joy And Better Days, which is out now via Gravitation Records. Joy And Better Days was released yesterday and you can stream the full album, and if you like it (you will - it's great) I suggest you head over to Hip Hatchet's Bandcamp site and buy it.

Listen: Friends - "Mind Control"

I assume you've heard Friends' "I'm His Girl"? If not, click that link and listen to it and then head back. Back? Great. Friends have just announced the release of their debut record Manifest! for a June 4 release via Lucky Number Music and they've also shared another single from the album; "Mind Control". "Mind Control" is another wonderful pop tune and you can listen to the radio mix of it below.
