The latest by Alex Southey wouldn’t sound terribly out of place somewhere within The Arkells early repertoire; even vocally he almost takes on a style I can only describe as a sleepy and slightly slurring Max Kerman sitting on the floor of his McMaster dorm room after striking out while trying to pick-up at a college party he stayed much too late out at.

New Stress Dolls dropped today, a super melodic pop-rock tune with soaring choruses. It’s a little different from the folk-based rock that turned our ears over to Stress Dolls last year, but it’s a direction that suits her well and we hope to hear more of it as soon as she can get it out. From her instagram, Stress Dolls says the track is “half … Continue reading You’re not Alone with Stress Dolls

Okay, okay, okay everyone settle down and I’ll explain. In an effort to connect further to our Polish crooked forest tree roots, we’ve been working on our Polish and listening to more Polish bands… like this one! We came across Polish folk-punk/folkcore band Hańba! (which translates to Disgrace if we’re to believe Google Translate; We’re all learning something new today and I think that’s nice) … Continue reading Kryzys? Jaki Kryzys? Oh! To album polskiego zespołu Disgrace.

They’re coming in about as close to the wire you can get to make a play for best release of 2023 with the unveiling of their debut LP Weather Permitting (streaming today).
