I just wanted to mention some new things I came across over the course of the last few weeks that I think deserve your attention.
- Snowball 37, Declasse. Snowball 37 are David and Tim Fagan, James Faust, and Brent Clore. Originally hailing from Jersey City, the band now call Point Pleasant home. Declasse displays some Jersey Shore influence right away, opening with the sound of Brent Clore's saxophone on "Long Dead and Gone." From there, the album's 13 tracks move through the sounds of 1990's alternative rock, pop punk, and even classic rock with lyrical references to Neil Young and Kurt Cobain. Declasse is available now at your favorite digital music retailer and on Spotify. It's "Jersey Fresh" and worth a listen.
- Suburban Campers, Suburban Campers EP. This one was a surprise, hitting my radar with a "suburbancampers is now following you" email from Tumblrhoo!. According to the San Diego quartet's Tumblr, "we had very little resources upon first recording so we recorded most of our songs with a cassette recorder in our friends livin room. we ended up liking how it sounded so we recorded our entire ep that way." The resulting 5 songs are a lo-fi, reverb soaked collection of dreamy surf pop reminiscent of New Jersey's Real Estate. I think it's been firmly established here how much I love lo-fi, reverb soaked, dreamy surf pop; so this one really struck a chord with me. Suburban Campers' self-titled EP is available as a "Name Your Price" download from the band's Bandcamp site.
