*Generation Clash*

I first found about Hounds from record shopping. I remember finding a copy of it at Main St. Jukebox for a few dollars and it was a white label promo!

This week's new releases include: Billie Eilish, Conversing With Oceans, Death Valley Girls, Des Rocs, The Effens, In The Mourning, Joyous Wolf, Leprous, MOONCRUSH, Moon Fever, Sleigh Bells, and Tummyache!

Here's this week's new additions to The Songs You Need To Hear!

The latest issue of Retronaut Queen Generation is out now!!

I first found out about Chilliwack after listening to a compilation series called "Heard It On The Radio"! I always thought that they were radio hits, but this comp series was made by someone who felt that these were artists and songs that should be better known.

This week's new releases include: Lee Aaron, Bad Sounds + Broods, Dee Gees, Electric Enemy, The Goliath, Heart Attack Man, The Jacks, Massive, MOONCRUSH, Prince, The Scent, Stone Nobles, Those Who Dream, Va Va Voom, Victory, and Young Winona!

I first found out about Sparks from my dad. I always remember him spinning “Angst In My Pants” on vinyl, because he never had anything by Sparks on CD. However, he eventually told me that he had a 2 CD compilation, but that had all different songs from their catalog on it! After listening to Angst In My Pants, and that comp, “Moustache” became my first favorite Sparks song. We wanted to get more Sparks albums on vinyl, so we started looking on eBay and in record stores to find the ones we didn't have. During this time, we started getting into “No. 1 Song In Heaven”, “Terminal Jive”, and “Indiscreet”. Sparks is such a unique group and they’re so interesting to listen to. They have so many albums, in so many different styles. I don’t know a lot of people who listen to them, but that seems to be something that a lot of great artists have in common. The important thing is knowing that there is truly interesting stuff out there, and that it what makes it worth searching for. Also, Sparks albums are very rare. I’ve only seen most Sparks vinyl because my dad found them and got them the one time that he saw them.

1: How did you decide on the name, “The Dirty Delusions"?

I first found out about The Laughing Dogs when I saw a copy of their album "Meet Their Makers" at Gallery Of Sound! I had no idea who they were, but something about it caught my attention. I got it and they turned out to be one of the many underrated acts from the new wave explosion...they just weren't one of the best known ones, and oddly, the best bands are never the ones who become extremely popular. Maybe they're too different...or in other words, they're original. 

Here is the first installment in our new series, "This Year In Music", where we pick a year and share all the amazing releases that came out that year!

If there's an EP that you NEED to hear this year, it's the debut EP by Riot Course.

This week's new releases include: BLikeBrett, Broken Baby, Grouplove, The Hunna, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, The Liquid Self, Mile End, Phantom Atlantic, Radattack, Sorrows, and Katie Wood!

I first found about Waysted in April 2015, during a day when we were going to go to the record store, but we decided to stay home and dig through our own collection instead.

Issue #2 of Generation Clash magazine is out now!!

July 12th has always been a special day here at Generation Clash. Today is Eric Carr's birthday!!

1: How did you decide on the name, “Pocket Cowboys"?

I got this album at a record store, sealed, and I had no idea what it was but something about it seemed interesting.

The last 3 RTP singles are part of a 3 part release. The singles were released in November 2020, March 2020, and June 2021. Every single in this release, but if you pay attention, it seems like it tells a story.

1: How did you decide on the name, “Ready the Prince"?

Here's this week's new additions to The Songs You Need To Hear!

1: How did you decide on the name, “Vinok"?Ilya and Nathalie originally started the band being in the US and wanted to associate the band with something meaningful and that at the same time connected us with a part of the world that is dear to us – Ukraine. Vinok seemed to be the perfect pick as it serves both purposes: the word means a flower crown in Ukrainian and is a traditional wreath to symbolize purity throughout centuries in Ukraine. It’s now worn duringfestivals and traditional events in Ukraine. We like that combination of purity, power, and festivity, the serious and the fun.

I found out The Boppers after my dad got a copy of it from The Record Parlour!

1: Tell us who you are/a little about yourself.

It's New Music Friday, and this week, the releases you need to hear are by: Armstrong, Big White Light, The Hunting Project, Inhaler, Leprous, Lovechild, Onslow, St. Vincent, and Them Evils!

Retronaut Jukebox is back with it’s 23rd installment!

I first heard about Mother May I from my dad, and I always remember him talking about their song “Poison Dart”.

Here's this week's new additions to The Songs You Need To Hear!

I searched for a copy of Amazon Beach for a long time and one day when I was looking at The Record Parlour's eBay page, I found a promo copy of it!

1: How did you decide on the name, “Orange Blossom Special"?

Check out the latest installment of New Music Friday!

Every week, I discover countless new discoveries. Some older acts, some newer acts...but what I'm always amazed by is how many great acts are overlooked, while ordinary acts become popular and this is only because they are promoted.

It's New Music Friday, and this week, the releases you need to hear are by:  A Cloud Of Ravens, Black Stone Cherry, Buckcherry, CRASHFACE, The Jacks, Jade Bird, Micky James, Ready the Prince, SaintAhmad, Vazum, and Wildstreet!

SaintAhmad's newest tune "Clouds" is a tune that showcases the soulfulness of Ahmad's voice. This song is perfect to unwind to, and it makes you forget about everything you're worrying about. This is because it captures the listener's attention from the beginning of the song to the end, something rarely achieved because many songs have great parts but few songs are great songs as a whole.

Here's this week's new additions to The Songs You Need To Hear!

I found out about Rock Rose from Rate Your Music, when I was looking at a list of obscure rock albums online.

It's New Music Friday, and this week, the releases you need to hear are by: Gaby Paul, The Great Leslie, Phantom Atlantic, Profit Drama, Scarlet Magnum, Sjay, True Villains, Vanderwoolf, and Va Va Voom!

The second EP from Scarlet Magnum is excellent. Full of honest lyrics and fantastic musicianship, it shows listeners that Scarlet Magnum gets better and better.

Vanderwoolf is a three piece rock n roll band hailing from New York City. Their forceful yet intimate songs draw from a wide range of influences, including Siouxsie & The Banshees, PJ Harvey, The Distillers, and The Gun Club.

The first time I remember hearing Starz was in December 2011, when my dad was playing his CD copy of Violation. I remember hearing one song and I asked him who it was, and for some reason a little bit of time passed before I properly checked them out.

1: How did you decide on the name, “Lizzie & The Makers"?

I first found out about Miami from Spotify! I've always been fascinated by Tommy Bolin, and when I found out that there was a James Gang album he played on, I wanted to check it out.

I first found out about Neon Trees in 2012, after hearing “Everybody Talks” on “Universal Music Group Record Store Day Sampler 2012″.

1: How did you decide on the name, “Jane N' The Jungle"?

Here's this week's new additions to The Songs You Need To Hear!

I found this album one day when I was record shopping and it stood out to me because it had the promo strip and gold stamp on it!
