Kills Birds – Behind

Today, we’re delighted to be helping Los Angeles based band, Kills Birds unleash an exciting new chapter with the release of ferocious new single “Behind” and its accompanying Brandon Sommerhalder-directed video.

Produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma, Been Stellar) this cathartic single is their first new music since the band’s 2021 sophomore album Married, and their debut for the label.

Of the track the band enigmatically say “Always late, even when you’re early. Out of time but the clock hasn’t started. An invite to the party but the party blows.

Kills Birds - Behind

Fronted by Nina Ljeti, a Bosnian Canadian filmmaker the Los Angeles Times called “L.A.’s most electrifying new rock singer,” Kills Birds’ renowned performances are truly visceral, with guitarist Jacob Loeb’s blistering riffs and Fielder Thomas’ pummeling basslines now rounded out with the addition of new fourth member, drummer Griffin Kisner. While 2019’s self-titled debut captured the promise of their grunge-inspired sound and Ljeti’s unflinching lyrics, sophomore 2021 release Married signalled a notable step up with the band recording at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 with legendary producer Yves Rothman. Following the album’s release, Kills Birds toured with Foo Fighters, Sleigh Bells, Shame and Viagra Boys. Now back with renewed vigour and an even more explosive sound, stay tuned for more music and announcements soon.

Kills Birds are Nina Ljeti (vocalist), Jacob Loeb (guitarist), Fielder Thomas (bassist), and Griffin Kisner (drummer).

Momma – Ohio All The Time

Momma today usher in an exciting new chapter with the release of their irresistible single “Ohio All The Time” and its accompanying Zack Shorrosh-directed music video. Imbued with the punchy effervescence of early-aughts alt-pop, “Ohio All The Time” finds the Brooklyn-based band reminiscing on a nostalgic time.

We wrote it about a summer when we were on tour, and it felt like everything in our lives changed within a one-month span,” they explain. “We wanted the video to capture that youthful feeling, like the world is brand new and everything is ahead of you. We went upstate to our friend’s house near Hudson to film, and just spent the whole day goofing off and running around.

The release follows last night’s hometown co-headline show with Blondshell at Baby’s All Right as part of Spotify’s MARROW Presents showcase series. Momma will perform next in the UK on a run of shows supporting beabadoobee on her UK tour before headlining their own sold out show at London’s The George Tavern on Friday 22 November; all dates and tickets on their website.

The past two years have seen Momma emerge as one of the most exciting new bands in rock. Produced by Kobayashi Ritch “Ohio All The Time” is their first release of original new music since 2023’s acclaimed single “Bang Bang”, which earned support from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Paste, NYLON, and more. Momma have since made a triumphant Coachella debut and played shows with Alex G, Pavement, and Wet Leg, among others. They have also since been guests on Amoeba’s What’s In My Bag? and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic series, performing “Rockstar” off their critically lauded 2022 album Household Name.

Momma is Etta Friedman (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), Allegra Weingarten (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), Aron Kobayashi Ritch (producer/bassist), and Preston Fulks (drummer).

Hinds – Bats

Madrid-based indie duo Hinds — a.k.a Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote – released their utterly triumphant and highly anticipated new album VIVA HINDS a few weeks ago, and now, ahead of their U.S. tour starting next week, they have shared the bilingual Spanish and English bonus track, “Bats”.

The band say “we wrote ‘BATS’ the week after watching ANOTHER ROUND (DRUK) in the movies. we couldn’t stop thinking about it, especially the last scene where Mad Mikkelsen starts dancing frenetically until he jumps fully dressed to the water. ‘BATS’ is accepting everything is blurry and confusing. in spanish and in english. it’s a dance with your darkest thoughts. a dance with your ugliest demons.

The band’s world-wide tour in support of VIVA HINDS, kicks off in the US next week. Having played sold-out London shows in May and September, Hinds will return to the UK in early 2025 for a full headline tour, starting in Brighton on February 17th – all dates and tickets are available here.

Sunflower Bean – Shake

Our New York trio Sunflower Bean, vocalist and bassist Julia Cumming (she/her), guitarist and vocalist Nick Kivlen (he/him), and drummer Olive Faber (she/her), have released their first fully self-produced and recorded project, SHAKE, today. The EP features some of Sunflower Bean’s heaviest, most immediate and loudest music to date. Influenced by the doom-laden, heavy metal sound of the likes of Black Sabbath, the EP is an embrace of rock tropes and excess, and recalls the sound of the band’s earlier projects, Show Me Your Seven Secrets and Human Ceremony.

Sunflower Bean - Shake EP

Out alongside the release of the EP, is a 14-minute performance based video to showcase each track via an interpretation of the natural elements: earth, wind, water, fire, and metal. The short film debuted at a special event at NYC’s Roxy Cinema earlier this week, which featured a Q&A with the band and the film’s director Isaac Roberts, as well as a viewing of the cult 1975 Dario Argento film, Deep Red. Watch the SHAKE short film in its entirety above now, and read more about it via Rolling Stone.

Charly Bliss – I’m Not Dead & Tour

Charly Bliss release a video for “I’m Not Dead”, a highlight from their recently released critically acclaimed new album FOREVER.

I wrote this song at the start of covid when I thought I was going to die and I was sad that I hadn’t partied more, if this was truly the end“, Eva Hendricks explains. Video director, Charly Bliss’ own Dan Shure, says “We thought this song needed a music video. Eva and I have both become huge fans of Murder She Wrote, so this was the perfect chance to make a fun, creative lyric video. We shot this on an iPhone literally one day after we wrapped the Back There Now video (which was also my birthday). We started writing the song over zoom, alongside K.Flay. Over a year later, as the song went through a few different versions, we finally ended up with this soaring fuzzy power pop hit.

Plus, Charly Bliss are kicking off their North American tour in support of FOREVER tonight, in Washington, DC. Their energetic and jovial live show, which Pitchfork recently called “a giddy, heart-racing time,” is not to be missed! All tour dates and tickets available on their website.
