• Elite Gymnastics – “Montana”

    Party like a Miami kingpin to "Montana" off Elite Gymnastics’ EP NEU! ’92. The electro-swank duo owned their set at a QRO & Cream Team Presents show back in 2010. One dude hovered over the soundboard while the other aced the vocals with a tumbler of whiskey. Gangbusters! The...
  • Spider Fever – “Party Girl”

    Spider Fever call themselves the loudest rock n roll band in San Diego, so turn this mmmp3 up real loud. And when the 7" drops on Hozac Records, throw that vinyl on the record player and turn the volume up to 11. "Party Girl" is a punk-rock, go-go blast...
  • DannielRadall : “Fleeting Romance”

    Straight outta Guadalajara, Mexico baby! Here’s a quick post on DannielRadall (sic), an electronic artist I’ve had my ear on for a while. Part Madonna "Vogue" dance remix, part Top Gun soundtrack: it all sounds good to me. Cool tunes on hot days, the kind of jamz you’d play...
  • The Forever People – “Love Myself”

    There’s a jangly early 80s underground feel to the tracks off the self-titled release from the New York-based band The Forever People. Pop murmurs of restrained grandeur finished off with a little subterranean lick n’ spittle. Shoe-gazey weird folk that dials up starry-eyed anthems fit for less then zero...
  • Architecture – “I’m With You”

    New project Architecture from Melissa Harris and Panda Riot’s Rebecca Scott is already starting to turn heads in their native Chicago after forming in late 2010. Part siren-tronica, part weird-folk, Architecture translates the multi-layered vocal harmonies, that you’ve come to know via Panda Riot, with some "throwback 60s pop-meets-medieval...
  • Gypsy Treasures – “tadpole walks home”

    Gypsy Treasure is straight-up drone, and you know what that means: long ass motherfucking tracks. I couldn’t upload the track I wanted to, "of moorish towns", because it was too large a file. The computer couldn’t handle it. The server was like: OH NO YOU DIDN’T! No worries, it’s...
  • EULA – “Texas Stampede”

    QRO first heard about EULA when they opened for Mission Of Burma. Pretty sweet, right? One listen to their Langauge of Threat EP had us hooked. The spitfire trio out of New Haven lobs heavy hand grenades of art-punk machismo run through with tomahawk howls. On their new EP...
  • Low Sea – “Never Yours”

    The Ireland-based group Low Sea provide some spacey, ambient thrills in their EP The Light that mixes shoegaze-y Jesus & Mary Chain (in their sweet "33 1/3" mode) with iconic, Nico-powered dream vocals. The mostly electronic proceedings of "Save My Soul" and "Some Kind Of Strange" are satisfying, occasionally...
  • FOUND – “Blendbetter”

    MMM-MMMP3 posts don’t usually begin with a shout out to "dreamy dude voices", but we would be remiss in our duty as music journalists if we didn’t draw your attention to the rakish, everyman vocals fronting the Edinburgh-based band FOUND. Maybe it’s the Scottish accent; maybe it’s the moody...
