A lot of new music is released over the course of a given
week. So much so that it can be hard to keep track of all of it. This week was
no exception, as the last seven days have brought a wealth of new songs and
music videos to the internet for our listening and viewing pleasure.
The weekend is the perfect time to catch up on the week’s
latest music. That’s why Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, has scoured
the internet for the week’s best new tracks. Here are six (and a few more) that
we think you’ll like as much as we do.
1.
The Regrettes, “Dress Up”: “Dress Up” is a fast-moving
track full of attitude. The lyrics and vocals are clear against the song’s
catchy, guitar-driven melody. It’s those aggressive-yet-bouncy guitars that
will hook you and take you for the ride through the nearly three minute track. (video)
2.
Joey Cape, “I Know How To Run”: Lagwagon
frontman Joey Cape returns with a new single, “I Know How To Run,” the first
single from his newly announced solo album ‘Let Me Know When You Give Up.’ The
song is a bit more upbeat than a lot of his solo work, which is usually just
acoustic guitar and vocals, sounding instead more like something that could
have come from his project Bad Astronaut. Acoustic or not, the song still has a
fantastic melody and Cape’s vocals are still perfectly grainy and
troubadour-like as ever. (video)
3.
Bring
Me The Horizon, “Mother Tongue”: The latest single from the Bring Me The
Horizon’s new album ‘amo,’ “Mother Tongue” leans more into the band’s new, more
pop-punk sound. Supported by an uplifting melody, electronic flourishes and heavy
guitars, the song’s chorus soars. (video)
4.
Blink-182,
“Blame It On My Youth”: “Blame It On My Youth” looks back and forward at the
same time. Lyrically, the song reflects on the band’s past and what motivated
them to get started. If you listen, you can hear bits and pieces of their other
songs in the melody and lyrics. The overall melody, however, is very different.
Perhaps a little of Alex Gaskarth’s All Time Low writing style influenced Mark
Hoppus during their Simple Creatures sessions (like Hoppus has no doubt done
for Gaskarth over the years), because this song sounds like something off a We
The Kings album. (video)
5.
Justin
Bieber & Ed Sheeran, “I Don’t Care”: You can definitely hear both Ed
Sheeran’s and Justin Bieber’s contributions to “I Don’t’ Care.” For Sheeran’s
part (and the best part of the song in my opinion), the melody sounds a little
like “Shape Of You” with its cowbell/woodblock percussion hits and easy-going
feel. Bieber’s part is a bit more electronic and, to be honest, puts a bit of a
damper on the heights the song achieves. (video)
6.
Starcrawler, “She Gets Around”: Melding
electronic and garage rock sounds, “She Gets Around” is an alt-rock rager with
a catchy chorus. The song keeps its pacing, even as it descends into fuzzed out
chaos towards the middle, regaining its composure by the end for one last
chorus. (video)
