Jump start your weekend with these exciting new tracks from Go Betty Go, Stoke Signals and Knives!
1. “Hot Date” – The Lookout
First up on our Friday list is “Hot Date” by The Lookout, a fast-paced single with a riveting guitar riff intro and catchy, earworm-worthy chorus. Wrapped in classic punk rock elements, the new track embodies the energy and excitement of wanting to go on a “hot date.” It is the second single from the Montreal-based band’s most recent album, I Know The Future and has already garnered hundreds of Spotify streams.
2. “Mummy” – Stoke Signals
Up next is “Mummy” by Stoke Signals, an instrumentally intricate rock piece filled with layers of screaming vocals, mesmerizing guitar riffs and energetic drums. The Los Angeles based punk band highlights what it’s like to keep on experiencing life’s failures. Sometimes there’s nothing else left to do but “thug it out.” The past is in the past. “Bury my secrets / down in the deep end,” the song emphasizes. With that undeniable melodic rock energy, “Mummy” can also be found on the Stoke Signals’ debut album, Make Dying Fun. They are set to play the collection live at a Nov. 1 record release show at Culver City’s Cinema Bar. For more information, go here.
3. “Oh This Sin Of Mine” – Knives
Continuing our collection of punk recs, Philly-based rock band Knives released their newest single, “Oh This Sin Of Mine.” Composed of dynamic guitar riffs and robust vocals, the track follows the thoughts of someone whose relationship has just ended. “On this black valentine / Oh this cold bloody night / Sending chills tearing out my spine / You’re this sin of mine,” sings lead vocalist Danny Attack. The song starts off instrumentally sparse before launching into a full blown rock anthem intertwined with thought-provoking lyricism. “Oh This Sin Of Mine” marks Knives’ third single from their soon-to-be-released debut album, One Cut Away From Love, out on Nov. 15 via Punkerton Records.
4. “Last Man Under The Moon” – Gale Forces
Gritty, deep-cutting bass is the backbone of Gale Forces‘ newest single, “Last Man Under The Moon.” The LA alternative rock band tells the story of life before technology, way back when cavemen roamed the Earth and relied on their own human instincts for survival. Animated by Arturo “Bass-Tone (Barcelona)” Baston, the accompanying music video follows the stories of a hunter-gatherer clan ready to hunt, and a father discovering the psychedelic effects of hallucinatory drugs. Filled with heavy guitar reverb and driving drum pulses, “Last Man Under The Moon” is a reflection of humanity’s roots.
5. “Party At Sea” – Go Betty Go
Closing out this week’s collection of new music is “Party At Sea,” a funky punk track by Go Betty Go. The all-female, LA-based pop band begins the song with Nicolette Vilar on vocals and Betty Ciscneros on guitar before quickly accelerating in energy. With waves of instrumental and lyrical creativity under their belts, Go Betty Go urges their listeners to indulge in a “party at sea” with magic, champagne and dancing. This fictional world is depicted in the official music video, which finds the members jamming out and having the time of their lives. For more punk-filled tracks, check out their newest album, Black & Blue.
