Please enjoy our final EP… Thanks for all the memories <3 NP") You can listen to the self-titled album below, which was produced by Jon Low.
Hungry Skinny Releases New Single – Hot Dang
San Francisco based garage rock band, Hungry Skinny has released a biker centric, garage rock track called, Hot Dang. This fast paced track is catchy and includes a shout worthy hook that would drag anyone to the dance floor. The band plans to premiere the music video at Amnesia this Saturday, November 22nd.
Check out the song below and get ready for much more to come from Hungry Skinny!
Slomo Drags
It’s something about the end of the year months that make you desire nostalgia. Maybe it’s the holiday/family overload or just the fact that another year has drifted pass so quickly. Slomo Drags should be on your soundtrack for nights of red wine and memories. A mix of Big Star and Spoon, their Slomo Drags EP released this past March is indie pop perfect for any decade. Comprised of Jackson Albracht, Raul Alvarez, Adam Mason and Marcus Rubio they know how to package reverb, jangle pop and melancholy vocals into a delightful punch. They play tonight at Red 7 or catch them Dec. 6 at Holy Mountain.
Show Review: Fly Golden Eagle at Queen Art Collective 11.15
October 14th marked the release of Fly Golden Eagle’s "Quartz," a 26-track odyssey inspired by 1973 art-flick "Holy Mountain." A month later, after an LA release and an epic fall tour they brought it home to Nashville. The Deli caught the last show in a weekend full of performances, a stacked lineup including Faux Ferocious, Chrome Pony, and Clear Plastic Masks put on at Meth Dad HQ Queen Art Collective. Read more about the evening by clicking HERE, and listen to the scaled-down, stand-alone accompanying Fly Golden Eagle release "Quartz Bijou" below.
New Music Video: “Affordable Hypnotist” – Hound
Watch frontman Perry Shall on his quest in Hound’s new video “Affordable Hypnotist,” which is featured on the group’s debut LP Out of Time. The video, co-directed by Shall and Eddie Austin, follows his path with a menacing anticipation, and culminates with a slightly twisted/humorous conclusion. Out of Time will be released on November 28 via SRA Records, and Hound will perform a free record release show on Tuesday, November 25 at Long in the Tooth.
Music Video Review: Here We Just Dream–To Be Devoured
A sasquatch guzzling a glass bottle of milk, a bizarre karate/knife fight and a mysterious Final Fantasy-esque heroine–all this and more can be found in Here We Just Dream’s new video for their song “To Be Devoured.” It was released a few weeks ago, but I came across it last week and felt I had to alert all of you fine Deli readers about its oddly-captivating presence. The song itself is super tight, with airy arpeggios supported by a steady rhythm section. I’m more or less at a loss for words in describing the video, but it’s so intriguing I wasn’t able to look away.
If you’re interested in checking the band out live, they’ll be at The Middle East Upstairs on December 14. More info about that show can be found here. For updates about the band, check out their website.

Mike Gallagher & High Order
Mike Gallagher & High Order have released a video for their track "All Falls Down". The track originally appeared on the 2013 album The Edge Of A Dream.
You can catch the band at Harte’s Saloon in Evergreen Park on Dec. 12th.
New Track: “No Fall” – Suburban Living
Suburban Living, a.k.a. Wesley Bunch, premiered a new track called "No Fall," over at Red Bull Music. He said, "It’s one of the few songs on the record that I wrote the bass for first and everything else around that. It turned out to be a dark sounding dance song about not knowing the consequences of your actions. It’s different than the older Suburban Living stuff; a turn in a new direction.” We love it! It’s our favorite that we’ve heard so far from his forthcoming self-titled album, due out January 27 via PaperCup Music.

Metermaids got the ticket with new video for “Profiteer”
Storytelling is an art in music. Slick Rick spun some yarns, Biggie added specific details that drew us in, and countless other MCs have taken up the torch with varying degrees of engagement. Brooklyn’s Metermaids display their instinctual yen for towing the line and reeling it in slowly with their video for “Profiteer,” the new single for their upcoming album We Brought Knives out Dec 2 on Strange Famous Records. It’s a moody piece with a Stand By Me (the movie) vibe that makes you nostalgic for the creepy days of your childhood. – BrokeMC
Buzz Alert! Cult of Youth gets ace reviews + tours Europe
We blogged about Brooklyn goth rockers Cult of Youth a few weeks ago saying how such a great band should get more visibility… well it seems like the Gods of music listened to our wishes, since the band’s new record "Final Days" is getting rave reviews – including from Pitchfork, which gave it a resounding 8.1, and Stereogum, which chose it as their "Record of the Week." For complex cultural reasons probably due to the fact that American prefer more explicit forms of rebellion, this is a band bound to find most of its audience in Europe (in particular the northern part of it), a continent that welcomes quality dark music and art more than any other. That’s why they are touring it more than thoroughly early next year. They have no local show scheduled right now, but we can imagine they won’t be short of offers after the critical praise they are receiving, so watch out!
