A Few Hops to Fuzz Pop

Thanks for the music and the recommendations, Daddy Issues. See you on the Tweets (which, I think, is probably not a thing anyone says).

Daddy Issues, Daddyo's, Annabelle Chairlegs, Fuzz Pop and Exchange Rates

So here's a Friday afternoon for you at CoolDad Music HQ.

I've interacted a few times on Twitter with a Greensboro, NC band called Daddy Issues. I remembered checking them out and liking what I heard back when I noticed that they started following me (Thanks!). Something about surf rock stuck in my mind, so I went searching again.

Came across their single called "So Hard," which is apparently -- hopefully -- the first taste from an upcoming release. It's a twangy, reverby bit of surf pop that's about exactly what you think it's about.



Over to the band's Facebook page to see if I could get some more information for a post, and I noticed that they recommended two other bands.

Annabelle Chairlegs are an Austin, TX duo dealing in the retro garage-y sounds of their self-described "dirt pop." "Pipeline" has kind of a "Gimme Shelter" thing going on, which is pretty cool.



The Daddyo's from Tulsa play what they call shoegazy, grungy, stoner pop and cite My Bloody Valentine (plus), Jesus and Mary Chain (plus), Nirvana (plus), The Zombies (plus), and more as influences. "Crop Top" is a good example of what Daddyo's do with all of those ingredients.



The Daddyo's also mentioned that they were part of a cassette comp called Fuzz Pop put out by a UK vinyl / cassette label called Very Gun Records. "20 noisy & fuzzy pop bands on one tape!"

After the exchange rate, it was $13.83 with shipping. Should ship sometime after today.

I'd call that a productive afternoon.
