Shark Week teams with Spin for new single debut
Shark Week are poised to be Washington, D.C.’s next break-out band after garnering critical acclaim for their scorching live show, debut EP and forthcoming double A-side 7″, Santurce, being released by Analog Edition Records on July 30, 2013. Hearkening back to the glory days of rock ‘n roll, Shark Week distills the raw energy of punk, infused with a hip-shaking garage pop sound (fans of Harlem and King Khan take notice). Named ‘Santurce’ after the San Juan, Puerto Rico neighborhood in which it was recorded, the two songs on the 7″ mirror the sun-bleached Caribbean beach weekend that gave it life. Download “Go West,” the spaghetti western garage b-side from Spin and pre-order the limited edition vinyl from Analog Edition.

Listen Before You Buy debuts Cowboy Indian Bear’s “Let It Down”
Listen Before You Buy premiered the second single off Cowboy Indian Bear’s forthcoming album, Live Old, Die Young. LBYB contributor Gabriela Garcia writes, “[“Let It Down”] brings a smooth and gentle layered indie pop with choir-ish vocals. Constantly repeating “let it down” in the song chorus (pointed in the lyrics as a recommendation) you can feel it quite as a mantra to loosen ties and drift with its melody.”
Live Old, Die Young will be out next week (4/23) via The Record Machine. You can pre-order a vinyl copy here.
