We love the energy that explodes out of Coup De Grace, the new single from Davis Gestiehr. Nothing is spared from an infected coating of noise and fuzz. Every instrument is blessed with varying levels of it. It suits the performances furious nature.
Stylistically the hook recalls an influence of STP while the collective design resonates with sonic trends known to modern indie rock bands like Spoon. We freakin love it.

The band *dimes* caught our attention with their new single Better Things. The noisy atmospheric layer beneath a shimmering acoustic recalls an influence of Kurt Vile. The buried soulful vocal adds an affect familir to Alice In Chains. It’s an intriguing blend that lands fresh.
The churning rhythm design only adds to the songs wandering aura. It’s a journey in song, one indie rock fans will delight in.

Elisabeth Pixley-Fink makes a statement with her recent single Didn’t I Try. This ascending rock ballad is a slow burn. It gets under your skin. Stylistically she finds the middle ground between Neil Young and Heartless Bastards. She graces that influence with the smooth smoky timbre of her gorgeous voice.
The band churns in tandem with the songs emotional sway. There’s a lot to unpack here, and it results in a convincining final resolution. Release yourself.

We found one proper rock song to close out this holiday season. Its hard not to love Crosses At The Heel (But It’s Christmas). The new single from M.E. Netzke works in any season. It’s charm is in how it tags rocks first movement via the nostalgic chord design. The minimalistic arrangement gives it garage rock credo.
Stylistically we hear comparisons to The Replacements. It’s a reference we don’t get to make often. It’s that good.
