Found on Bad Canoes‘ new EP She’s Too Strong, “Bug Juice” is paced by the casual, creepy combination of keys and percussion. Marissa Paternoster’s (Screaming Females) vocals vary, rolling through and then hitting with brief screams of impassioned intensity. Before going on an indefinite hiatus, the band will head out on a mini-tour that will wrap things up at Goldy’s on Sunday, July 10 with Beth Israel, Turnip King, and Neolibz.

Below is a new track from Year Of Glad called "Keeping A Peace". It’s the first single off the band’s forthcoming sophomore effort, I Don’t Know Where I Am Either, and all pre-order proceeds are currently being donated to The Center in Orlando "to benefit the victims from the Pulse Night Club shooting and their families." The four-song EP, which will include a cover of Pearl Jam’s "Corduroy," was recorded and mixed by Mike Bardzik at Noisy Little Critter, and will be officially released on July 15 via Lame-O Records.

Catherine Dwyer is at the controls of the bedroom-folk sound of Spring Onion, performing tonight at Tralfamadore. Dwyer reaches back with an easily accessible, casually-strolling instrumental tone. However, while concise lyrical anecdotes appear to offer a set of temporary images, they also speak to a deeper microcosmic, pensive framework. They’re the type of songs that’ll sit with you for a while, ruffling one’s tucked away search for meaning and connection. With a reserved feel of emotive release capable of bursting at the seams at any time, Buster supplies a bare yet volatile vibe. Rochester-based Sad Cactus artist Big Fred provides quick flashes of fragile fury and levity. The Honeymoon Band rounds this lineup into its final shape.

As a steady combination of fuzz and percussion provide a forward thrust, melodic semi-muffled vocals emerge in a new track from Marge, called “Give It Time,” giving way to a surprisingly delicate, inviting hook. While the quartet’s forthcoming album Bruise Easy won’t be released until September 4, the song is one of a trio that’s currently available for streaming, wetting listener’s appetite for the complete record. Marge will be back in town with Littler, Arm Candy, Horse Girls, and Bad Heaven on Sunday, June 26 at LAVA Space.

The Retinas have a new five-song EP out, titled Chaba, which you can stream and download below. With cassettes available via Custom Made Music, the band taps into a sound that blossoms outward, reaching from a guttural spot, gathering strength and then cleanly taking those anecdotes into the open in a resonating, catchy manner, à la The Strokes. Catch them with The Warhawks and Infinity Tree on Friday, August 12 at Boot & Saddle!

Filmed in The Panic Room, Renaissance man Carl Kavorkian‘s new music video does a great job at capturing the frenetic energy found on his latest track "AlterNatives". You really get up and close to Kavorkian; maybe a little too close. It’s the first single from his upcoming full-length album that is due out later this year.

There Are No Good Goodbyes, the debut album from VoirVoir, will be released via Fleeting Youth Records on July 15. Its first single, “I Wanna,” emerges with a quick dash of compounding percussion and guitar, while lyrically pointing at the freedom of possibilities. That momentum-riding sense of enthusiasm is encouraging.

Fledgling Philly punk outfit Wild At Heart (which features members of Blank Spell, Chondria, Haldol & Latex) recently shared its debut release, TOUR TAPE 2016. The five-song EP was recorded and mastered by Kyle Gilbride on April 20, 2016, and you can stream and download it for free below. The band will be returning home tonight from tour, and will performing at PhilaMOCA, opening for Radioactivity and Bad Sports. You can also catch them tomorrow evening at LAVA Space.

Here’s a track made for soaking up some sun on a warm beach day. "Islands Of Blue" is the new single from Archawah, the latest project from Illinois frontman Chris Archibald. It’s off his forthcoming EP, due out June 20, and is available for free download.

Lithuania recently dropped a new track called "Kill The Thing You Love". The song was originally written during the Hardcore Friends sessions, but ended up not being a good fit for the debut album. Lame-O Records is releasing it as a stand-alone single, and all the proceeds will go to Women Against Abuse. Grab yourself a copy; it’s definitely a win-win situation.
