Hey there’s a new Koria Kitten Riot song out there and it’s mighty. Where’s the parade? I want to join the party. The single The Laughing Man is the first outtake from the forthcoming Koria Kitten Riot album due out later in 2016 on their new label VILD. Hear the song below and then set up a camp outside the record store and wait for the whole beautiful album to arrive to your heart.
I had extremely high hopes for the Pony Bradshaw album Bad Teeth, because the first outtake Josephine was/is a mighty fine candidate for the song of the year award. Bad Teeth is finally out and available at Bandcamp and it mostly fills my expectations. Ok, perhaps nothing else completely reach the same mountain high level of Josephine (Work comes close), but that would have been an unfair assumption, because that is such a monster of a song. There’s no shortage of great songs on the album and there’s so much to love. Especially the latter half of the album is friggin’ awesome. Work, Bad Teeth, Lafayette and Josephine is one hell of a way to finish an album. These slow tempo ones really drill their way into my heart. A very impressive album.
Lately I’ve spent my nights watching every John Klemmensen & The Party video I’ve been able to find. I ended up checking out his songs a week or two ago because of some old short Arliss Nancy tweet posted sometime last year and kind of instantly fell for this music. John Klemmensen is one incredible vocalist and often there’s a heavenly good female vocalist backing him up. I could listen these two sing all day long. Then add some high quality honest and fragile rock songs and you have a winning formula. Or at least you should have winning formula. They seem to be way too unknown outside of their hometown Omaha and it’s been a bit hard to find a lot of information or songs to listen to. I did order the latest vinyl Party All Night from their Bandcamp, so hopefully that will arrive on my doorstep in the coming weeks.
Here’s a couple of those John Klemmensen & The Party videos that I’ve been watching. Just listen to this man sing his heart out.

Bone Moon is the new moniker of Ochre Room frontman Lauri Myllymäki. He released the debut Bone Moon song/video Thresher on 20th of May and as expected it sounds absolutely magnificent. The start of this new adventure is very impressive and I’m so eager to hear more and see how this thing develops in the coming months and years. Ochre Room was very dear to me and Lauri is such a damn brilliant songwriter / vocalist / musician. Sami Pöyry directed this beautiful music video for the first Bone Moon song Thresher.
