Hooks and Throats

NEW CAMERA OBSCURA ALBUM

Featuring instantly enjoyable twee-pop absolute jams, Camera Obscura have a wallop of an album on their hand with their fourth release My Maudlin Career. Featuring hooks the likes of which catch indie-rock sharks (from the French Navy perhaps?) this new album sees the Glasgow sextet at the top of their pop game, expanding on the work of Let’s Get Out of This Country by offering more expansive instrumentation and more artistic flourishes than even the bravest hipsters wouldn’t dare to try. While Diana+’s may be a fad, Camera Obscura is a band that’s here to stay – check out a few mp3s below.
Camera Obscura – “French Navy”
Camera Obscura – “Away With Murder”

NEW ROLO TOMASSI VIDEO
On a completely different note, check out this new video from Cannibal Cheerleader favorite Rolo Tomassi. It features an interview with Eva Spence, Edward Dutton (drummer for RT), Matt Caughthran of the Bronx, and Damian Abraham of Fucked Up (who we absolutely love by the way) all talking about their favorite four songs of all time. Check it below:
Rolo Tomassi – “Fofteen”
Eva Spence sings the praise of UK hardcore stalwarts Throats, who we couldn’t help but give a listen to as well…

NEW BAND CHEER: THROATS
Sounding like a doomier, younger Converge, Throats comes snarling out the UK with a sound meant to tear your face clean off and cleave your metal-loving brain straight in two. Seriously folks, we’ve had enough of middling hardcore, and the likes of Throats with bands like Rolo Tomassi are bringing back the heat in a big way – forward thinking, fierce, and lungful-of-blood-spitting-venom brutality the likes of which we’ve never seen. The future of hardcore may be across the pond – bring it over here folks! We’re just lucky Rolo Tomassi is performing their first ever US show at our day party on Wednesday March 18th! Check it out folks!
Throats – “Reign In Low”
Throats – “Deathnaps”
Comments? Anyone else notice the massive musical expanse between Throats and Camera Obscura? Anyone else think that it’s pretty awesome we like them both?
