BPM has The High Water Marks' new "barnburner" of a single, "Award Show"
PREMIERE
Hear the new single from The High Water Marks on BPM now. Fronted by Elephant 6 co-founder Hilarie Sidney, the Grøa, Norway-based foursome is set to release Ecstasy Rhymes, its first album in 13 years, via Minty Fresh on Nov. 20, 2020.
“On their new single, ‘Award Show,’” BPM writes, “the band rips through an indie barnburner that would have felt perfectly at home released sometime in the early ‘90s – I’m looking at you Foolish-era Superchunk. But as much as the song owes a debt to bands of that time, and Sidney’s own work during those years, it never comes across as beholden to a specific aesthetic. It’s classic indie rock, yeah, but there is something more coursing through its melodic veins, resulting in a wry distillation of influence and experience which few bands can express with any sense of finality.”

TRACK PREMIERE + INTERVIEW
A weird side effect of working with Mark Bryan of Hootie & The Blowfish is having to deal with pre-conceptions about Hootie. With that said, I want to express my incredible excitement about the new solo album Midlife Priceless that Mark will release next year. The first single "Wanna Feel Something" is streaming over at American Songwriter today along with an interview with Mark where he talks in his heartfelt way about how this song was inspired by being back out on the road again with his brothers. The guitar solo is bonkers awesome!
Blesson Roy shares latest single "Thousand" with Bad Copy
TRACK PREMIERE
When I first heard this latest single from Blesson Roy (the erstwhile 4AD, Creation Records, Rough Trade Records-influenced man of many studio tricks, Terry Borden), I heard something that would sound just fine in a stadium. "Thousand" is a pretty personal love song, actually, but people fall in love in stadiums, so I think that's okay. Debut album Think Like Spring is out Nov. 27th on Slow Start Records! Hear "Thousand" now at Bad Copy.
