New Nude Beach

Nude Beach have recently released a new album called 77. It's a massive 18 track opus with gritty guitars, driving beats and classic melodies; power garage pop, possibly.

Check out some tunes and go see them live. They're playing at The Garrison in Toronto as part of Not Dead Yet Fest on November 22.

New Nude Beach

Here's a strummy summertime song from Nude Beach from a forthcoming single. The tune's called "I'm Giving Up". Dig the cool vibes and wah-wah infused guitar solo.

My favourite songs: Awesome and cool songs of 2012: My best of list: Top 60 songs: #60-41

It's been a great year for indie-alternative music. Maybe it's because I've been putting more emphasis on seeking out great music for the blog, or maybe it's just intergalactic forces. Whatever it is, I'll take it.

Just to avoid consistency of any kind, I've abandoned last year's idea of doing 2 year best of posts, like doing "The Best of 2011-2012".

Some Kinda Love from Nude Beach

Nude Beach have released a new tune from their album II. The song is "Some Kinda Love" and the video kinda spells everything out for ya.

They're in Toronto at Lee's Palace on November 3.

Nude Beach. The band, not the one down at Hanlan's Point.

Nude Beach are a fun power pop band from Brooklyn, NY. If you like upbeat, fun, rock indie-alternative music, you'll love these guys. Listen!

Here are a couple of great tracks from their most current album II.

"Radio"

"Walkin' Down My Street" I don't know about you, but I hear some Elvis Costello coming through in this one.
