If you’re a fan of bands like Bully, Speedy Ortiz and Palehound, you’ll find plenty to love about Adult Mom. Get a taste of their upcoming record with “Drive Me Home” below. It’s great to hear that Joywave are back with a catchy new tune that’ll probably wind up soundtracking some commercial or something. The guitar riff that forms the skeleton of the song is just the right amount of bouncy, and the chorus is just addictive enough. In terms of ironic song titles, it’s certainly not “Torture” to listen to the latest single from Chicago’s own Knox Fortune. You may recognize the singer/producer as the voice behind the hook of Chance the Rapper’s hit “All Night,” but his solo work is quite different and very dynamic. Speaking of Chicago artists, the duo of OHMME have super impressive harmonies and piercing guitar riffs that are more than worth your time and attention, so get on it. Other tracks in this set come from Carmen Villain, courtship., Gila, Jarami, Jason Loewenstein, Moglii, Sweet Spirit and more!

Adult Mom – Drive Me Home

Joywave – It’s A Trip!

Knox Fortune – Torture

OHMME – Woman

Take a trip back to the 1950’s with a very retro-styled song from Hunx & His Punx. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your trip to the drive-in or sock hop. One of the more fascinating things you’ll hear in this set is the remix of Slowdive’s “Sugar For the Pill,” which takes the band’s signature shoegaze and strangely defangs it into something more ethereal and spacey. There’s something about Twinsmith’s “Matters” that reminds me of Fleetwood Mac. Maybe it’s the guitars, but there’s also some sparkling synths in there to pull things in a decidedly more ’80s pop direction. Despite the fact that it’s a demo, I appreciate the very sparse yet jangly guitar strums that dominate Ultimate Painting’s latest. Throw in some vocal harmonies and it’s just right for a sunset drive. Other tracks in this collection come from B.o.B. (ft. Young Thug), B Boys, Evi Jai, Hikes, iDA HAWK, Madou, The Magpie Salute and more!

Hunx & His Punx – Baby of the Band

Slowdive – Sugar For the Pill (Avalon Emerson’s Gilded Escalation)

Twinsmith – Matters

Ultimate Painting – Why Do You Please Me? (Demo)
