The breakthrough cover series by New Found Glory kicked off 25 years ago with From The Screen To Your Stereo. This compilation of pop-punk covers of famous songs from movies has been long-adored by fans of the band, and NFG has since put out two additional versions of the series as well. Part I is a fun listening experience that preceded New Found Glory’s self-titled record that would make the band a household name on MTV and radio stations alike. This cover album included seven tracks that clocked in at just under the 20-minute mark, and showcased a band figuring out their sound and Jordan Pundik’s evolving vocal range from Nothing Gold Can Stay. The reception to the movie covers EP was more appreciated over time as the band would occasionally add these covers (and others) to their live sets. From The Screen To Your Stereo was produced by New Found Glory and Jeremy Staska, and marks a memorable time in the ascent of one of this scene’s favorite pop-punk bands.

Today I’m so excited to introduce everyone to pop-punk band, West Friends, who are releasing their latest single called “You’ll Hate It Here.” On this track that takes it roots from classic pop-punk bands like Sum 41, New Found Glory and Blink-182, West Friends make a memorable single with plenty of substance behind it. West Friends is the duo of songwriters and friends, Jordan Renshaw and Isaiah Dominguez, and they have a great style for the pop-punk 30/40-somethings crowd. The band shared, “‘You’ll Hate It Here’ is a tongue-in-cheek take on the cities we call home (Seattle and San Francisco), which, let’s face it, are some of the news cycle’s favorite punching bags. For locals, the negativity can get overbearing enough to warrant a snarky, ‘Grab a souvenir on your way out.” West Friends collaborated with Tom Iannello (Transit, Driveways) to make an anthem that says, despite their flaws, we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” If you’re enjoying the early listen, you can pre-save West Friends new single here.

MacStories details the release of the latest version of MusicHarbor:
My favorite new section of MusicHarbor is News, which pulls articles about the artists you follow from a dozen sources. It’s an excellent set of publications that includes chorus.fm, NPR Music, Pitchfork, and others. If there are any feeds among those listed that you don’t like, though, you can turn individual publications off, so they won’t appear in the app.
If you follow a lot of artists like I do, you’ll appreciate that you can also search for artists by name or using keywords found in the headlines of articles. The app includes a row of profile pictures of the artists you follow for whom the app has found news, which is a nice visual shortcut to those stories, too.
Hey, that’s us. Cool feature.
I launch MusicHarbor every Friday morning to make sure I haven’t missed any new releases from artists I follow.
CBC:
Last week, late at night, when Rob Frith was wrapping up a work session at a friend’s studio, he decided to throw on one last tape for a listen.
It was labelled “Beatles 60s demos” and had been sitting around Neptoon Records, one of Vancouver’s most well-known record shops, unplayed. Frith, who owns the shop, had never listened to it, but had brought the recording to his friend’s studio that night, knowing he had the right player for the tape.
”I thought it was just a reel-to-reel tape that somebody had put bootleg things on,” Frith said.
But when the tape played, the quality of the sound was clear and bright.
