WOW! - Lustful Caress

Memoryhouse - Warmer (Christmas Song)

Ringo Deathstarr are making no hesitations when it comes to checking things off their 2014 To Do List. The Austin, Texas trio will kick off the new year by both releasing God's Dream,  a 12-inch EP on Neon Sigh / Noyes Records  shortly after completing a 29 date, nation wide tour. The album is set to be released on 25 March 2014. 

Warm guitars and pulsing drums combine to form an aggressively atmospheric bubble, encompassing the listener in an infectious cohesive which blends the sounds of an era when Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain walked the Earth with a forward thinking and creatively stubborn indie darling. Joined by Adam Franklin of Swervedriver on the track "Nowhere" and Jeff Schroeder of the Smashing Pumpkins on "Chainsaw Morning," Ringo Deathstarr has created a flawlessly crafted sound on God's Dream, destined and deserving to exist on vinyl. 

Thankfully for enthusiasts, that is exactly where God's Dream has ended up. Ringo Deathstarr will release an exclusive run of colorized vinyl, limited to 500 copies. 400 copies of the EP will be pressed in coke bottle, while the remaining 100 copies will be pressed in a mixture of mint green and hot pink. The release will also be available in digital format. 

The band will also begin and end their national tour in Austin, Texas, with the tour kicking off on February 13, 2014 and ending at this year's South By Southwest. 

Ringo Deathstarr, a musical trio from Austin, TX, have been putting out records since 2007.  Consisting of Elliott Frazier (guitar, vocals), Alex Gehring (bass, vocals), and Daniel Coborn (drums, vocals), their sound is born from a love of melody, a love of guitar, and a hatred of pompous vocals.  Finding it to be too much fun, the group has expounded upon the sounds of the masters before them.  This desire to play the music they were too young to witness as children has taken Ringo Deathstarr around the globe, performing in places as far flung as Israel, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Europe, Canda, and the continental USA, supporting favorites like ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Dean Wareham, The Wedding Present, and The Smashing Pumpkins.  With two full length records (Colour Trip and Mauve) and a handful of EPs and singles in the bag, now is the time  for a new EP, "God's Dream," which was recorded in Austin and on a ranch in Dripping Springs, TX.  For this record, the band reunited with Chris "Frenchie" Smith, who co-produced their debut EP.

Ringo Deathstarr will release God's Dream on 25 March 2014 on Neon Sigh / Noyes Records.

V1:
There's been a pain in my chest from calling it off
But if it heals that means you're gone
I know you're not the guy I want you to be
But I'm scared there's no one else for me 

CHORUS: (2x)
I'm sorry I'm sorry
We can't tonight 
I miss you I miss you
We just ain't right 

V2:
I was kissing someone new last night
Why weren't you the one?
Is this what moving on feels like?
It hurts so much we're done

CHORUS:
I'm sorry I'm sorry
We can't tonight 
I miss you I miss you
We just ain't right 

OUTRO:
I'm sorry you can't come over tonight
I miss you but going back ain't right... (2x)
Feels so good when I'm with you, never want it to end
But I can't keep learning to get over you again... (2x)

I wanna talk to you  
So don't take this the wrong way
But your lips 
I can't stop 
Wanna feel how they feel babe

CHORUS: 
Let's stay focused
I want you to focus 

V2: 
The connection's feeling right 
But you still have to open my mind
We'll see about tonight 
Baby I think we might
Be friends

Would you like that?
We could be friends 
Yeah so tell me would you like that?
We could be friends

CHORUS: 
Let's stay focused
I want you to focus

Coasts Lyrics
It's been raining for a while
In my mind
Let's take shelter right away
Before I drown

In your conscious
Remain with me

I can't wake up from this dream
It's been a while
Let's gain conscious right away
Before I fly

The Shade

Forest (Versión Home Studio)

BAND: TREMENTINA
ALBUM: ALMOST REACH THE SUN
LABEL: VINYL JUNKIE RECORDINGS / BYM RECORDS
YEAR: 2015

KISSES IN YOUR EYES

"Many Worlds" is one of the songs from our recently completed cassette EP, called Concentration and out on February 5th via Touchy Feely Records. It follows The Thrall, our September 2014 debut full-length, and serves as a short teaser before we enter the studio to record our next full-length with Dylan Wall (Craft Spells, Weed, Naomi Punk) in the first week of March!

The set was engineered and produced by Robert Comitz (Hornet Leg, Marriage + Cancer, K Records), who did the same work on our previous release. The Thrall was listed as an 'Essential Portland Album of 2014' by The Oregonian and received positive reviews. One or more of our members are active in other local bands within the same scene, including Havania Whaal and Wet Trident.

Thank you for listening,

"So now when I pry my eyes open to play a bit of a mindless video game, I will also duct tape the headphones to my ears, glue the volume control on the highest setting with Lubec in the player, and just let it all go into blissful meltdown" - Tiny Mix Tapes

"Lubec blazes through the thick, fuzzy clouds of the Pacific Northwest with driving, melodic tunes." - Impose

"They are among the city's elite loud-pop heavyweights." - The Portland Mercury

"Lubec is a band that bounces well off the walls, forming the occasional bruise or bloody mark, but usually in the shape of something beautifully deceiving" - Impression of Sound

Time Travel

Not content to rest on the laurels of having one of the best and most talked-about albums of 2009, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are back with four brand-new songs that do what the band does best – breathe fresh life into indie-pop with their exuberance, charm and of course quality tunes.

“Higher Than The Stars” races along on arpeggiated keyboards and quickly strummed guitars, a perfect pop nugget that could be ripped from Robert Smith's songbook. Its unstoppable energy is pure Pains, though, and we expect to see a lot of ear-to-ear grins when the band busts this one out on tour. “103” has quickly become a favorite of the Pains’ live set and it’s easy to hear why. A fizzing slice of summertime noise-pop with all the melody, fuzz and fun you've come to expect from The Pains and a snazzy little stun-guitar solo to boot.

“Falling Over” has also become a staple of the band's live sets and shows a new side of the band. A brooding synth-led tune that recalls New Optimist touchstones like Orange Juice and Aztec Camera, “Falling Over” is as yearning, lovelorn and dreamy as pop gets, and an excellent addition to The Pains' canon. “Twins” turns up the fuzz, a mid-tempo rocker with a sing-along chorus and catchy-as-heck guitar lead as the hook. This is quintessential Pains of Being Pure At Heart -- slot it into a mix tape between Teenage Fanclub and an old Lilys song and you'll be happy as a clam.
Rounding out the EP is an incredible Balearic dub-disco remix from ace UK producers Saint Etienne. Spacey yet totally danceable, the Saint Etienne remix is certain to burn up the dancefloor.

"Higher Than The Stars" is the start of the next chapter for The Pains of Being Pure At Heart and it looks to be just as exciting as the first. Look for the band supporting this EP with a coast-to-coast tour in September.

“What distinguishes POBPAH from the rest of their modern peers is a sense of craft located in the sweet spot between willful amateurism masking incompetence and not gumming things up with bells and whistles.” – Pitchfork (Best New Music)

“...it's much more than the sum of its parts and too effortlessly effervescent to be studied. Pure indie-pop to hold close to your heart.” – NME

“Can we wait for life to save us in the ways that a band like the Pains of Being Pure at Heart are saving indie pop?” – Dusted
