The Parlor Chase drops a quick-fire track, Something Happening To Ya (Studio Version)

Posted on 23 October 2022

Currently signed to US label She’s In Records, The Parlor Chase return with a tantalizing teaser for their latest sizzler of a tornado-like song to be instantly boosted by on Something Happening To Ya.

The Parlor Chase (formerly Parlor Snakes), is a Los Angeles, California-based garage/glam rock band which is led by the well-known Patrick Coleman.

”From Johnny Cash and early Elvis to Gun Club and Birthday Party, the Parlor Chase have been there, heard it; all that (and more) reconfigured in their own original splendour is in the grooves of every song they’ve recorded.” ~ The Parlor Chase

Healing our apprehensions away with something rather scintillating and likeable to consume with towering spontaneity, The Parlor Chase turns up the intensity and conveys a rocket-fueled track to snack onto with reckless intent.

Something Happening To Ya from Los Angeles, California-based garage/glam rock band The Parlor Chase, is a powerful experience and takes us down memory lane when practically everyone loved watching bands in tiny clubs with no windows. Fired up and showing us their nifty skills in all aspects, this is a fine demonstration of their edgy sound, which is perfect to devour with something cold to drink.

Trashy Power Pop Went Nuclear with Continental Lovers’ EP, Dale Arden Vs the World

Posted on 22 July 2022

Articulating thoughts on the UK provocateurs Continental Lovers with any degree of objectivity got shunted out of the realms of possibility with the release of their affably trashy power pop EP, Dale Arden Vs the World.

The dopamine rush is as sweet as the visceral vintage bursts of audiophilic guitars creating a nuclear reaction with the infectiously hooky lyrics. Amplifying the dynamic animation between the six tracks to the nth degree is the sheer vocal stridency that does away with the tired clichés and the banal sense of indifferent pretension that somehow ended up in trend.

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Joe Maddox is as intuitively clever with subverting his lyrics for resonance as he is with his guitar solos that bend your mind as much as the strings. As the perfect testament, the concluding single, Dale Arden, unfolds as a raucous whirlwind of empathetic affection for Flash Gordon’s love interest. The celebration of feminine strength, also evident in St. Joan, is enough to make anyone with a functioning soul emotional.

If there was any justice in our clusterfuck music industry, the Dale Arden Vs the World EP would be hot enough in the charts to make Prince Andrew sweat.

Snag it on Bandcamp or add it to your Spotify playlists.

Slaves Supporters GENERATION Release Debut EP ‘Who Loves This Generation’

Anyone who misses high-energy rock being on top needs to open their ears and join the mayhem that is Generation. Off of their debut EP is I Like It, a track that doesn’t waste time letting you know what you’re in for and pulls you into a wild ride of quick, sloppy rock that sounds fresh out of your neighborhood’s finest garage. With some socio-political overtones borrowed from punk ancestry and just enough transduction on the vocals to add a lo-fi tinge, Generation doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel to know how to get it turning.

I Like It sounds like a leather jacket, and if that description alone doesn’t make you want to listen, you should be looking somewhere else for your music. This isn’t something meant for arenas or ballrooms, but ballroom bashes have made it further from more humble beginnings. It’s always wonderful to know that no matter how much technology changes and the industry evolves, there are always groups like Generation to remind us how fun music can be if we just remember to rock out once in a while. In other words…I like it.
