Week 25: The Orwells - Other Voices

Good lord. I've slipped into a deep pool of cotton candy flavoured rock 'n roll waters. I've spent the day swimming in this blissful sea of fantastic new tunes. There is no way for me to possibly select one of these dandy's for the song of the week. So you, my beautiful friends, are getting a packed house.

Now, as I said, I'm offering up a number of groovy tunes to satisfy your ears, but if I was FORCED to pick one for the song of the week, it would be from the filthy garages of Chicago. At the forefront of an emerging scene, this catchy, raucous track by The Orwells has me very excited to visit Chicago next week. Punk enough to be a lot of fun, melodic enough to be very catchy. Just a gem.

If you like Tame Impala but wish they had a bit more edge, look no further than their good mates Pond. Somehow they've put out a whopping 4 albums without anyone outside of music nerds really noticing (might be a different tale down in Oz from which they hail). Now album number 5 is about to hit us (Aug 2) and this tasty teaser suggests that great things are a brewin'.

Next up we have Milk Music. Hitting us with a  fuzzy guitar'd anthem titled Illegal and Free. You can probably imagine what it's about. And it's great.

Want something a bit more fun and summery? Well, this catchy number will get your Friday night a bumpin'. Known for catchy riffs and fun choruses, the Family Rain is here to put some jump in your step.
