There are a few more notable singles from 2023, but we start with something new for 2024.
The Weeklings have a new album coming out on Jan. 19th, and we’ll feature the music video “Brian Jones,” about some dude who was in some band back in the olden days (wink!) Also new,
The Lemon Twigs prove to you they have the best harmonies of any living band with “My Golden Years,” a true power pop gem that should not be missed. A big retro 60s sound comes from
Jamie Turner with “A Girl Like You,” and he’s got a few singles sprinkled out there of equal quality.
Douglas Diamond reminds me a little of Richard Butler (Psychedelic Furs) with his bass-driven “Sound of Music.” Melbourne’s hottest new addition,
The Prize has big riffs on “First Sight,” so check out last year’s EP.
Marc Valentine had this killer single this past October with “Skeleton Key,” so I’m glad to get this out. Brothers Tom (vox, guitar) and Ethan (guitar) Carroll work together as
Captain Starlet, and “Self Portrait” makes a great impression. Finally, a new LP from
Bebopalula is due this year, and a few singles have leaked, like “Overtures.” A few more LPs that should’ve made my top 25 list will be reviewed next.
