Brooklyn based project Fantasmas comes in part from Peruvian-born Kam Tambini’s childhood in Lima/Bogota and teenage years in Washington DC’s punk scene. There’s no wave, there’s shoegaze, there’s rock and roll.

“Now” just sounds like an edgier pop recurrent you could have heard on alternative radio over the past 15 years yet it would still feel right at home after a new track by The Vaccines. With an LP in the works the Swedish 5 piece is something on the radar.

According to his bandcamp page, Pinebocks is the still nascent project of Cory Clifford, “an indie pop obsessed 21 year old idiot living in Texas.” His first release, Flee / My Unfunny Valentine, is quite simplistic but is held together by strong songwriting. There’s no trying to razzle dazzle with gimmickry and layers of synths, just a man with words, a guitar and some feelings to share. “Flee” is very Magnetic Fields with a pinch of Van Dyke Parks. “My Unfunny Valentine” has a traditional, almost Leadbelly bent. These songs are unfinished, but they don’t need a band propping them up. They have enough panache on their own. Peep this and propose a toast to all the precocious youths writing songs throughout the Heartland. Contributed by Chris Gedos

The trance inducing “Following” is new via NYC cult-lective The Phenomenal Handclap Band. But seriously how can you not get down to this? It’s Poptronic we tell you. Just try getting this one out of your head after a few spins. “Come and join us”!

Raw. It’s the best word we have to describe Dirty Beaches. We had the chance to catch Alex Zhang perform his abstract take on songwriting and rock and roll back in August poolside at the Mondrian in LA. We were awed by the soul and the delivery. A talent to keep an eye on.

UNKLE goes to town on “Lord Let The Light Shine On Me” from Noel’s forthcoming solo debut. The UK outfit serve up a nice balance of Noel’rific writing (of the LP’s more Oasis-like tunes) and outside the box type elements that we can come to expect from High Flying Birds. Is that a gospel singer Noel? Get the album November 8th.

So Wild Vibes are a new band out of NYC. “Don’t Stop” is a really cool mix of classic guitar rock, more modern electronic music, and great melody writing. The hook on “Don’t Stop”s chorus is as good any in indie rock 2011. Rock.

“On Your Way” is new from Alabama Shakes, formerly just The Shakes. Supported by frontwoman Brittany Howard’s husky, urgent, honest vocal, AS play some really excellent southern soul-influenced rock and roll. Otis Redding, James Carr, CCR, The Band, other stuff are just a few of the references here. If you like a little church and/or a little deep fryer in your rock music (we do!), you will want to check Alabama Shakes out ASAP.
