Steve Adamyk Band Singles


I was really into this band when Steve send me the songs from the first three singles but i couldn't find the time to post them here, so sorries go to Steve for the delay. 

Steve Adamyk Band are 3/4 members of now defunct Sedatives playing songs Steve Adamyk wrote solo while he was in Sedatives. This is some pretty fast and neat three-chord powerpop punk backed up with plenty of energy and hooks that are so catchy & sweet you'll end up desperately wanting for more songs after you repeat these a few times in a row. What this band is doing reminds me a lot of melodic side of 77 style of british punk (Pointed Sticks, Buzzcocks, The Real Kids, Undertones) and some newer bands who are or were into this sound (Exploding Hearts, Sonic Avenues, latest Jay Reatard solo stuff). As we speak there's also a full-length out on german P Trash.

Also, Steve did a interview for Exclaim magazine and you can read more about his amazing band there.

Goodnight Loving - Nothing Conquers Us 7" [2009]



Country influenced, Wisconsin's Goodnight Loving cleverly manage to mix fuzzy power pop tunes with southern americana sounds and outcome of their effort is incredible. Before this new 7 inch record they've released  three full length records and a bunch of singles which are all great and soon i'll post some more stuff from these fellas.

Out on Dirtnap. Get it here.

Tranzmitors - Busy Singles (2009)


"For those who haven’t heard, Vancouver’s TRANZMITORS play UK influenced powerpop in the vain of THE BOYS, THE BUZZCOCKS and THE EXPLODING HEARTS."
