I Am Waiting For You Last Summer – “Nulla” (Video Premiere)

I Am Waiting For You Last Summer
Adam Grundy

I Am Waiting For You Last Summer, the cinematic/ambient post-rock band, has returned with a cool new single and video for “Nulla.” On this key song from the band’s forthcoming LP called Without/Within, this artist leans heavily into their epic sound. The band shared, “‘Nulla’ was inspired by the idea that we — as living matter—are part of an evolving process that, at some point, begins to question itself. There’s something powerful in the image of consciousness emerging from the same material that forms stars and planets — and then turning inward to ask: What am I? What is this?” If you’re enjoying the new music video, please consider pre-saving their new LP here.

Wilson Getchell – “Life In The Circus” (Album Stream)

Today I’m so excited to share with everyone the new EP from Wilson Getchell called Life In The Circus, that releases officially today on all streaming services. The mini-EP consists of four songs, running just over six and a half minutes. The title track, “Life in the Circus”, is a tongue-in-cheek, bouncy indie pop song painting substance abuse in a colorful circus hue. “I’m Just Sitting Here Waiting” is a country ditty about waiting for “a neighborhood crackhead to show up to mow the lawn.” “King” is a catchy, yet demented and offensive coming-of-age story of a young monarch, featuring Will Hamilton on the drums and background vocals from Giselle Armenta. The mini-EP is rounded out with the indie polka number, “How Low Can We Go?”.  Getchell describes, “On my new EP, Life in the Circus, I really leaned into Brian Wilson and Ween influences. Life in the Circus could be described as an EP or as a single with an A side, a B side, and two perky ditties. The four songs total run time is 6:40.  It’s short, fun, and silly. The title track, ‘Life in the Circus’, is a tongue-in-cheek, bouncy bedroom pop song which paints reckless living in a colorful circus hue.  The B-side, “King” is a fairly demented and humorous coming-of-age story of a young monarch. You’re going to want to wear a helmet for that one…” If you’re enjoying the album stream, please consider supporting this talented artist here.

Today I’m so excited to share the new bonus track/visualizer video from 00’s emo band, Tokyo Rose, that comes from their breakthrough record of called New American Saint, with “Philadelphia in the Springtime.” The band is also excited to announce their signing to the label of Manic Kat Records, and the deluxe version of New American Saint releases this Friday. Lead vocalist Ryan Dominguez shared:

I never imagined anything I did 20 years ago would ever be remembered, let alone be regarded fondly enough by anyone, other than the very small handful of people who were involved with it at the time, to be remastered and re-released 2 decades after the fact. But somehow Peter and the team at Manic Kat pulled a vinyl rabbit out of their magic hat, called “New American Saint: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Re-Mastered Edition

If you’re enjoying the newly released single, please consider staying tuned to Tokyo Rose’s Manic Kat Records page here.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the new single from Brooklyn-based rock band, Blonde Otter, called “Your Number.” In this cool-looking lyric video for the single, Blonde Otter tackles staying connected in an AI-driven world, while still staying human in this environment. The band shared:

”Your Number” delves into the complexities of modern digital communication, exploring the superficiality of online interactions and the yearning for genuine human connection amidst the pervasive influence of data and AI. Our forthcoming album, from which ‘Your Number’ is the first single, marks a significant evolution for us, moving into broader political and societal themes that reflect our struggle to create amidst contemporary pressures. We are simply just part of the New York experience.

If you’re enjoying the early listen, please consider staying connected with the band here.

Chinese Junk – “Shut Up About the USA”

Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the hook-laden new single from UK punk rock band, Chinese Junk, that has a blistering take on the current political landscape called “Shut Up About The USA.” These punk rockers are coming in hot with some slick guitar-driven garage punk rock with meaning. Whether you’re tossing beers in your basement or screaming down a dirt road at 100 mph, this split (called Talk Trash w/ Gino & The Goons and Chinese Junk) that releases this Friday, will deliver the anxiety ridden chaos your soul craves. The sound of sweat filled shows and sweat soaked rebellion – get it while it’s still dripping on Big Neck Records. Band member Ben Nuthink shared:

I’ve got a few friends that are lucky enough to be able to afford to go to the USA on holiday pretty regularly. I can’t afford to, so it’s probably partly written as a case of sour grapes but also me having a bit of fun with it. I figured I’d write a song referring to all the stereotypes of the USA that I could think of to fill two verses. I mention cops in donut shops which funnily enough, I also mention in a song on our first album. The references are mostly good things. Americans do everything bigger than the rest of the world so it’s pointing that out too. The ‘Shut Up…’ lyric in the chorus is me saying to stop rubbing in that you’ve been there AGAIN and I haven’t for years!

If you’re enjoying the new single, please consider picking up the split record via Big Neck Records, here.

Heckart’s vocal range is somewhere in the same realm as Hayley Williams and Pinkshift’s Ashrita Kuma, while she truly has a unique style of her own.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and video from NYC-based rock band, Native Sun, called “No.” On this picturesque video, Native Sun evoke the right emotions through their unique brand of music that has previously earned praise from Rolling Stone, FLOOD, and more. The band shared, “‘No’ captures the tension of trying to hold onto yourself while the world is pulling you in different directions. It’s feeling of swinging between overload and emptiness, between faith and disillusionment. You’re searching for a foothold while the ground keeps shifting beneath you.” If you’re enjoying the single, you can stay on top of the latest Native Sun news here.

Today is a great day to share the latest single and video from pop-punk band, Neutral Snap, called “Waltz.” On this slick-sounding pop-punk/emo jam, New Orleans’ Neutral Snap quickly solidify themselves as a key band to watch in 2025. Collaborating with Fred Mascherino (Say Anything, The Color Fred, Taking Back Sunday) and Rob Freeman (Hidden in Plain View), “Waltz” features melodic hooks culminating into a chorus exploding with unfiltered emotion and a frenetic energy that is uniquely theirs. Bassist, Dan shared:

’Waltz’ is our favorite song we’ve ever written! We pushed the boundaries of normal pop punk and came up with something catchy that keeps you on your toes! The song is about coming to terms with an ending situation-ship. It shows you the two sides to the breakup. The first verse is very somber, while the second verse is a little more tongue in cheek! We filmed the video in multiple locations around New Orleans, and the video itself was locally done.

If you’re enjoying the early watch, please consider supporting Neutral Snap by attending an upcoming concert.

Horizon Point – “Bend The Truth” (Song Premiere)

Horizon Point
Adam Grundy

Fresh off the ink drying on their new recording contract with Manic Kat Records, Horizon Point are back with a great-sounding new single called “Bend The Truth.” The band shared:

We are so excited to sign with Manic Kat Records! Our first EP with MKR is already in the works, and should be out later this year. A big part of Horizon Point’s message is about mental health, and this song has an extra special meaning for us. It’s a story about a relationship between two people who have experienced trauma in their lives. They’re both trying to improve themselves and break the cycle of the past to be better partners. The hook, ‘I’m so scared, but I want to get better’, can be applied to so many moments in life where you’re on the cusp of change but still afraid to take the first step. It’s a song about encouragement and hope for something new.

If you’re enjoying this slick song that has all of the vibes of a great ska/punk band figuring things out in record time, please consider staying in touch with the band here.
