Cuushe - I Love You (Affelaye Remix)

San Francisco's Terry Malts have been a mysterious presence on the local scene for a while now. Popping up with great regularity on gigs around town, they come, they slay, then they disappear into the dark night. Their tunes are catchy like fishhooks, jumping off from such familiar touchstones as Ramones and Buzzcocks, stopping off with some fine SoCal friends like The Crowd, The Descendants, and Red Cross, somehow arriving at an energetic modern power-pop/punk amalgam not too far from The Exploding Hearts and The Clorox Girls. It's a time-honored pop recipe, leavened by the band's top-notch song-writing and their barely-concealed fondness for 70s and 80s bubblegum.

The three songs on this single have been floating around on tape for a minute, passing from hand-to-hand like some well-loved piece of power-pop samizdat. "I'm Neurotic" kicks things off in blazing style, a fuzzy descending riff underpinned by steady-as-you-like drumming. Look out for the stun-guitar that blasts in halfway through -- shred-tastic. "Distracted" could just as well be an a-side itself, it's echoed vocal intro leading into a classic mid-tempo tune that wouldn't sound out of place on an Undertones record. Once you get to the "ooh-oohs" of the chorus you are, of course, hooked. "Where Is The Weekend?" wraps up this EP with what might be the Malts' most straight-up punk rock moment. Fast and frantic, it's a timeless ode to those two brief days when we're delivered from the work-week tedium by guitars, beer and chaos. Bring it on.

The Men - Bataille

Inspired by post-punk fervor and the spiky pop of C86 and early Flying Nun / Creation label output, San Francisco’s Brilliant Colors stake out a unique spot in the indie music landscape. Their 2009 album, "Introducing," is one of the finest debuts in recent memory, and they followed it with 7-inches on Slumberland and Make a Mess and a European tour with La La Vasquez that led to the release of another great single on Germs of Youth. Most recently, they teamed up with Belfast’s brilliant Girls Names to release a split 7-inch in Fall 2010. All of these singles were recorded with Oakland garage phenom Ty Segall, who spiked the ladies’ punk-pop swirl with his own special grit.

Now Brilliant Colors hit the studio again to create "Again And Again," an album that represents a great next step for the band. The song-writing is still as infectious as ever, but the tunes are now more carefully arranged pushing the band far beyond their punk roots to something as elemental as pop gets. Songs like opener "Hey Dan," the sprightly "Value Lines" and "Hitting Traffic" combine guitarist/singer Jess' catchy-as-hell riffs with Diane's steady, rolling beats and Michelle's dense baselines to fashion songs that are deceptively simple -- straightforwardly rocking but also richly layered, revealing new twists on each listen.

The mood is confessional and late-night dreamy; Jess' unadorned vocals and eloquent lyrics are personal, direct and atmospherically deployed, mixed in with the songs like another instrument. They can be heard to great effect on tougher songs like "Back To The Tricks" and "Painting Truths," tempering those tunes' punchy punk dynamics with their melodic sensibility. Add in classic-sounding stormers like "Cult Face" and "How Much Younger" and you have all the makings of another great Brilliant Colors album, one that shows how finely they've honed their own unique brand punk-informed crash-pop.

Following the release of their debut album, "Dead To Me," earlier this year, Belfast-trio Girls Names return with their first new material. 'Black Saturday' was recorded earlier in the year, and represents the band's increasing gravitation towards melody without losing any of the strange darkness that has characterized their work to date.
