Video: Sourpatch: "I Want You Either Way"

Haha. Right after finishing up that Sourpatch post I noticed that they just put up this brand new video all of five hours ago! Everything sounds much more beautifully mixed here and this video is just a blast! I'm guessing "I Want You Either Way" is gonna be on that upcoming LP! I really can't wait now! EEEEEEeeeeeeee!

Sourpatch have a new four-song EP out! YES! It's part of WIAIWYA's monthly singles club! Somehow I neglected to notice this at all between July and now, but better late than never I suppose. I had the Fun EP blasting during a chilly walk up to the city yesterday, which seemed like the perfect setting for it, and I think I've really fallen in love with them! It's an utter shame there aren't more bands of the moment that recall this kind of early 90s punky pop K sound – but then I guess that's what makes Sourpatch so special to me, so I guess I can live with that. My only complaint of these songs is that the guitars are pretty low in the mix. I don't know if it was intentional, but I'd really love to have them in my face a little bit more. Regardless, Sourpatch should be everyone's new favorite band! If you don't believe me, take a listen to "Fun" – it's such a perfect blast of, well, fun!

I was browsing around on Rose Melberg's MySpace earlier this morning. I like to stop by there from time to time because lots of new bands influenced by Tiger Trap, Go Sailor, The Softies, et al like to comment and leave their praises for Rose. I then go to their pages and then I listen to their songs and then I'm happy. It's a very successful system that I've got going on. Anyway, this morning I came upon a band from San Jose called Sourpatch. Not only have they got a fantastic name, but they've also got a slew of fantastic songs! As I had anticipated before I even clicked their link, they're a little punky, a little poppy, and they sound like the early 90s Northwest. The songs are still a little bit rough, but they're super catchy they've got great melodies, so I'm expecting fantastic things from them in the future! They consist of three girls (Nicole, Christine, Mandi) and one guy (Rich) and they're currently touring the east coast through the end of November. I've got no songs to download, but they've got a demo out and you can listen to most of it over at their MySpace! I'd highly suggest that you do that and then go see them live! Yknow, if you like them, I guess.
