We Are Young By The Shaky Hands

Following up on yesterday's theme of Daytrotter session songs that I really like (which happen to have jangly guitars in them), today I post a track from the upcoming (Sept. 9) release from The Shaky Hands. The album is called Lunglight. It will look like this:



Downloadable: "Loosen Up" (removed at the request of Kill Rock Stars)

Under The Pines By Bodies Of Water

Bodies Of Water have a new album coming out this summer. This is a picture from the recording process.



PTST calls them "a nice reprieve from all the noise rock and dance punk that has been coming out [last] year." (edits mine). We here at GT definitely agree. Hows about you?

Fire Lances Of The Ancient Hyperzephyrians By The Sword

Oh fuck yeah!! The Sword has made "Fire Lances Of The Ancient Hyperzephyrians" available as a free mp3. Disclosure: you could previously get it from ptw, plus it is available today at Spinner. Personally, I think you should download it below (that is if you don't have it already). Happy Headbanging.
