A friend gave me this Yesway LP a few weeks ago, and it has been on repeat in my house ever since. This band is perfect music to have with a few friends over or even just laying around the house. Yesway consists of friends Emily Ritz and Kacey Johansing. They use overlapping vocals, along with guitar and drums. They come up as folk if you look them up, but I don't think I would limit their genre to just that. It is more upbeat than some folk stuff out there. Their music can be purchased via their website below.

Electric Peanut Butter Company Trans-Atlantic Psych Classics
Follow @Uhh_yup
Electric Peanut Butter Company was something I was a little hesitant to listen to. However, once I gave them a chance, they did not disappoint. These guys have some real hooks in their music. Very catchy, 70's cop theme songs. It could be an awesome soundtrack for going cruising down the street. There is a nice teaser of their album, Trans-Atlantic Psych Classics Vol. 1, below. They are a part of Ubiquity Records, and their music can be purchased via bandcamp.

Finally! Mew's album +-
Follow @Uhh_yup
I have been waiting six years for Mew to come back, and boy they came back swinging. They really brought their big guns with their new album, +-. This is the first album since 2009's No More Stories, and it is the first time with Johan back since 2005's And the Glass Handed Kites. This work is definitely more focused this time around. There are few long, rapid time changes this time around. However, they still are able to bring the signature Mew sound to it. I am not saying there aren't any long songs with multiple time changes; they have that with gems like Rows or Cross The River On Your Own. They were able to focus their sound in shorter lengths, like with Witness. All in all, I cannot talk about how great it is to be hearing Mew again. Their sound is so unique that I am always transported into a fun, mesmerizing world that is Mew. It is good to be back in that place after all this time. There album can be purchased via the link below.

It's Gonna Blow!! Documentary
Follow @Uhh_yup
Bill Perrine has created a beautiful documentary that shows the music culture in San Diego from 1986-1996, and it is awesome. Back in those days, San Diego was characterized as being "The Next Seattle" music movement, which resulted in a bunch of bands from this area getting signed to major record labels. There is a kickstarter that is happening right now in order to get some funding for promotion. There are a TON of really rare items being put up as rewards for people who contribute. The link is below, along with a trailer for the film.

Secret Fun Club
Follow @Uhh_yup
I can't believe I never spoke about this band before. Secret Fun Club is a band that generates some really hard, melodic greatness with a bass guitar and some drums. Not only do their songs sound great with some big headphones, they also are incredible live. It is always interesting to see them because they generate sound much sound from just two people, it's amazing. They have a record out on Three One G Records. If they ever come through your town, I suggest that you take the time and see them. You can purchase some of their music below.

Little White Teeth
Follow @Uhh_yup
Little White Teeth have finally released a new album after four years. I had the pleasure of seeing this band at The Casbah in San Diego a couple of years ago. They were really fun to watch live. Their style is very low key and alternative, but not in a bad way. Some of their songs you can definitely dance to. This album, titled Songs The Attic Sings can be heard on their new website. You can purchase their music via the link below. Please do!
