What The Haps Indie Rock?

September has arrived.  Here are some indie rock jawns to help you survive the passing of yet another summer.

Kotchy is from Brooklyn.  We have a nice The Boss meets The Mac track for you. Get more Kotchy here.

Kotchy - Brucefleetwood

Sportsday Megaphones, keep on growing on me.  Their debut album is being released next week. For their latest single, “LA” they have commissioned some top notch producers for remixes including this one by Winnie fave’ and Portland native, Copy.

Sportsday Megaphones - LA (Copy Remix)

You might know, Thieves Like Us from their track, “Drugs In My Body”.  In the vein of fellow compatriots,The Teenagers.  The French need to keep outputting more like this.

Thieves Like Us - Your Heart Feels

 

 

Uzi & Ari are from San Francisco

Uzi & Ari - Ghosts On The Windowsill

Statebird is from Ohio, they have this lovely song about love which is part of a 4 song ep they have just released.  You can get your hands on here.

State Bird - I Don’t Love U Anymore

Mardeen is from Atlantic Canada.  Im having trouble placing who they remind me of so I’ll avoid that and just say that they have a radio friendly fuzz pop sound that you should hear for yourself. 

Mardeen - Telephones

Chad VanGaalen’s new album “Soft Airplane” is being released, Tuesday Sept 9th.  Check out the video to the first single, “Molton Light”.  The video, which is absolutely amazing, was animated by Mr Chads himself. Peep the animated trailers for the album below which were also done by CVG.
