SBTRKT x Frank Ocean

 

 

  

Here are a couple track from two of the stand out performances of Coachella - SBTRKT and Frank Ocean. I have seen SBTRKT a couple times and SBTRKT has stepped his already impressive live game up. Frank Ocean really blew me away, the man has unbelievable stage presence for someone who has only done a handful of shows. Anyway, here are two SBTRKT remixes of Frank Ocean. How great would it be if these two put out a collab album or at least did a full song together?

Live: Frankie Rose & Dive

Last Thursday, 4/18, Frankie Rose and Dive performed at the Soda Bar in San Diego. Check out the review after the jump!

Boddika

So I owe you all a review of Frankie Rose and Dive from the other night in San Diego. However, I am still exhausted from Coachella, so that will hopefully be tomorrows post. For now just enjoy the subtle acid sounds of Boddika and Joy Orbison. Swims out now on Swamp 81. Walk For Me.

Tiger High

Tiger High is a band out of Memphis. They make garage pop that is completely and totally made for dancing, shaking your head and spazzing out like you are alone in your bedroom. "Don't Want to See You Till You Go" has got a real nice lo-fi psych feel - the vocal distortion and guitar lines definitely give it a hazy feel, but the drums and bass keep the low end moving an grooving. "Why Oh Why" has a drum beat and spaciness that remind me of my favorite Cramps song, "Can't Hardly Stand It". You can find their latest record, Myth is This, around - including on tape from the good people at Burger Records!

King Tuff

How about a good old fashion guitar jam for this weekend? Fuck yeah! Here is the latest tune from King Tuff. I could say more, but who cares - just get ready to rock. New album comes out May 27 on Sub Pop

Terry Malts

Hit after hit after hit - the Slumberland records story. Seriously though, how many great bands have released records on Slumberland at this point? A new record that is getting a lot of attention over at Noise Verse Noise is the new Terry Malts album. A fantastic blend of 77 UK punk, 80's hardcore guitars and modern lo-fi recording - kinda like the Vibrators, TSOL and early Vivian Girls had a baby. "Nauseous" repeats the line "You're Love Makes Me Nauseous" until you have to forcible remove it. "Tumble Down" is a Buzzcocks classic they forgot to record. Also, seriously whats in the water up in San Francisco? How can there be this man fantastic bands?

Twerps

Looks like its going to be garage week here at Noise Verse Noise. Twerps are a four piece band out of the land from down under.  Twerps blend vaguely surf guitars with twee-esque vocals. Really the key here is the guitars, they are absolutely fantastic. They are the reason why the songs work - simple enough to let the songs breathe and develop, but are the focus of the song. Twerps released latest Self Titled album was released in October last year on Underwater People/Chapter Music.
