Gold-Bears' second full-length, "Dalliance," is a record about regret. It reminds you of that time you lied to your friend when you said you were too busy to hang out, but instead went to the bar alone. Or when you sent that really shitty email to your brother about something that really has no bearing anymore, because you were too caught up in the moment to think clearly. It also reminds you of the time you got divorced... from whatever or whomever.

In the past two years since Gold-Bears released their debut album "Are You Falling in Love?," main Bear Jeremy Underwood gathered a new crop of friends to carry out his fuzz-filled visions. "Dalliance" is more focused and abrasive than that 2011 debut, combining their noise-pop influences from forebears like Boyracer and The Wedding Present with shades of the post-hardcore, emo and post-punk on which the band all cut their musical teeth. This is not to say that Gold-Bears gave up impossibly catchy song-writing, just that their signature indie punk anthems are now even sharper, the guitars even more slashing, and the songs even more harrowing and heartfelt than ever.

"Dalliance" opens with the anthemic "Yeah, Tonight," a proper pop song featuring a duet between Underwood and Emma Kupa (of the defunct London indiepop band Standard Fare) that sets the agenda right away — sharp melodies and even sharper guitars, all whizzing by in less than three minutes. “Chest” rushes in almost immediately after, barely two and a half minutes of punk energy and fizzing feedback.

The stomping "From Gainesville to Tallahassee" features a gnarly feedback guitar solo and backing vocals from Black Tambourine's Pam Berry. “Punk Song No. 15” is as described, a blazing flash that condenses the history of UK noisy pop into just over one minute. “I Hope They’re Right” and the lovely, jangling “Hey, Sophie” show how much the band have expand their range, slowing the pace, turning up the jangle and taking on the big subjects.

Gold-Bears cover a lot of territory, musical and lyrical, in "Dalliance"’s 32 minutes and by the time that we reach the miniature epic of closer “Fathers And Daughters” we realize that we’re watching a band and a song-writer hit their stride, turning in an album that’s exciting, thoughtful and infectious.

SLAVVE - EP
Bloodmoss Records 
Street Date: June 24th, 2014

Purchase: http://bloodmossrecords.limitedrun.com/products/528294-slavve-ep-pre-order

SLAVVE is a two-piece band from West Palm Beach, FL. Though they have since relocated to Brooklyn, the duo has deep roots in the music they’ve always loved. Started as a home project by guitarist/vocalist Chuka Chukuma, SLAVVE’s vibe is all systems go. Fully formed in the summer of 2013, Chuka recruited drummer and childhood friend Marcos Marchesani, former member of Weird Wives and Surfer Blood, to make everything bigger and louder. SLAVVE can be heard in full effect on their self-titled EP on Bloodmoss Records. Recorded in just two days, the EP is a glimpse into the powerful, gripping force that is SLAVVE. In an effortless mix of punk, post-punk, screamo and hardcore, SLAVVE's self-titled EP spans issues of intrinsic uncertainty (“Better Half”), the strange pride of being alone (“Pity Party”), deception and frustration (“In Your Dreams”), and the futile nature of trying to make something work when it just doesn’t (“Out of Mind”). SLAVVE is paving their own way, staying true to the music they loved growing up while looking ahead to carve their own musical landscape.

SLAVVE - Out of Mind

Download the new EP - http://smarturl.it/iMyTypeEP

Lyrics:

Take a look around the room, 
Love comes wearing disguises. 
How to go about and choose. 
Break it down by shapes and sizes. 
I'm a man who's got very specific taste. 

You're just my type. 
You got a pulse and you are breathing. 
You're just my type. 
I think it's time that we get leaving. 

When there's loving in the air, 
Don't fight it just keep breathing. 
I can't help myself but stare. 
Double check for double meanings. 
I'm a man who's got very specific taste. 

You're just my type. 
You got a pulse and you are breathing. 
You're just my type. 
I think it's time that we get leaving. 

You're just my type. 
You got a pulse and you are breathing. 
You're just my type.
