A video has been released for the title track of Ryan Adams’ forthcoming album. Playing an acoustic version of the song, Adams sits and strums a red, white and blue guitar. He also appears to be wearing Mardi Gras beads. It sounds like he’s in top form, and we’re very much looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

Stream: Yuck – “Cousin Corona”
-
Artist:
Yuck has been releasing lots of b-sides throughout the year and now they will all get a proper release with one of those deluxe reissue deals which I could criticize them for, but Yuck is possibly my favorite release of the year so I am 100% for it. Like everything else they have put out this year, this song rules.

Daniel Blumberg of Yuck’s side project Oupa have released what I believe is his first video for the track “Physical”. This project is more challenging and not as immediately gratifying as Yuck but definitely worth a listen. Forget is avaialble on cassette and digitally from Fat Possum.

Originally self-releasing the album Apocalypse Surfin’, the Toronto-based band Revolvers received a record deal after Canada’s Now Magazine ranked it among their favorites of 2009. It was officially released last November. Check out the song “Break It Loose”. Revolvers’ sound is reminiscent of early/mid-sixties rock ‘n’ roll. At times it reminds me of The Kinks and at others Bob Dylan, with a litt

Strange Mercy is coming on September 13th so while you wait you can ch
