royal baths - better luck next life

THE ROYAL BATHS are set to release their second lp on KANINE RECORDS on FEBRUARY 7th, entitled, BETTER LUCK NEXT LIFE.  Expect more fuzzy dark garage/psych pop from these SAN FRAN rock n rollers....their first album on WOODSIST was killer, so i can't wait for this long player to drop.

The Royal Baths are highly recommended...not enough bands channel the darker corners of psych music like they do...and if you like APACHE DROPOUT, THE OH SEES or the CRYSTAL STILTS, you will need to own all the ROYAL BATHS you can get yer hands on......

stream two tracks off BETTER LUCK NEXT LIFE below......and save up some money to buy it next month.......

radar eyes - s/t debut on HOZAC

RADAR EYES are one of the chicago scene's best kept secrets...at least until now.

HOZAC RECORDS just released a new seven inch by RADAR EYES, and their debut full length LP should be out by christmas.....(also on hozac).

dreamy shoegaze-influenced garage pop....RADAR EYES name check spacemen 3, the ramones, the velvets and jesus & mary chain as their inspiration, but i'd also add SONIC YOUTH, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, DINOSAUR JR and GALAXIE 500 to their list.....

anyway, radar eyes could be yr new favorite band, i see them almost every time i get the chance......

listen to SUMMER CHILLS from their new lp below.....
