New Foxy!
Foxy Shazam made a little Twitter video for their upcoming album. "The Church of Rock and Roll".
While I wasn't blown away with the little snippet at the end, I'm a huge fan of "I Like It", the first single from the album and am really hoping that this album helps the band blow up. On the other hand, the selfish part in me kind of hopes they don't blow up because they're a great small venue act and someone that I think everyone should probably check out. Just an amazing amount of energy and lead singer Eric Nally is always good for a few good stories and a couple of funny stunts. Here's the first single, which could be the 21st century ode to big butts ala "Fat Bottomed Girl" except with a little less glam and a lot more rock.
In other glam-ish news, The School of Seven Bells has a new album out. I thought their first album "Alpinisms" showed promise but they kind of took a step back with their second one and this one seems like they've settled comfortably into making songs that just kind of float around and never really deliver anything to hold on to. It's not bad music, just not anything that I would purchase or that I would find myself wanting to hear. They're the kind of band that you forget about completely until one of their songs pops up on shuffle and you remember that you own that album/song.
Here's "Half Asleep", one of the better songs from their debut album.
