We Don’t Party No More

Mean Jeans are a punk revival group from Portland that follow Rammones' tradition of short, speedy and most of all fun punk songs. I just love their single Steve Don't Party No More and their brainless/amateur video just makes it even better. Enjoy without thinking about it too much! Artist.Site

The Minor Leagues up North College Hill
April 02, 2012
Releases
No Comments
The Minor Leagues are a seven piece band from Cincinnati that produce a blend of chamber, indie and brit pop (although from Ohio). A 90's nostalgia is evident in all their tracks but with a sound that borders to bands like the New Pornographers or Belle and Sebastian, that can only mean a good thing. The Minor Leagues - Secret Codes North College Hill is their latest album and it feels like a trip back home, to the basics of chamber pop. Charming melodies, pop lyrics and the feeling of...

The Loveable Tulips hit the Streets
March 25, 2012
Releases
No Comments
It's a wonderful sunny Sunday here in London and only some Swedish pop can make it better. The Loveable Tulips are a female duo from Stockholm that love to sing about heartbreaks. Their music is both sad and happy, as it always is when it comes to love. Streets is the title track from their new EP and is about the time you start realising its time to move on, even if you love living in a dream. A bit downbeat but nevertheless too swedishly pop to pass by. Enjoy! Artist.Site

Tennis between Young & Old

Strangely enough, I have never mentioned Tennis before on Athens66 (with the exception of featuring one of their videos in our videowall back at the end of July 2010). They are a husband-and-wife duo from Denver, Colorado. Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley formed the band in 2010 and released their first EP during the summer of the same year. Their debut LP came at the begininning of 2011, titled Cape Dory, and a was a joyful bedroom pop album that I absolutely loved. A bit over a year l...

Fun with Summer Twins

Summer Twins are sisters Chelsea and Justine Brown from Riverside, California. The girls formed the band back in 2008 and have since released an EP and their debut self titled first album. Their music is a happy sunny form of pop with a twist of 60's groovy love that could only come out of California. If you combine this with their fresh look and girly attitude, you got a real charmer that will definitely put a smile on your face. Check out 'I will love you' and you'll immediately see what I...

Ghost Society is a project by Sara Savery from People Press Play (Morr Music), Tobias Wilner (Blue Foundation / Bichi) and Lasse Herbst founded back in December 2008. They all live in Copenhagen and have the ability to write beautiful indie pop tracks. Their first album The Back of his Hands, Then the Palms was released back in 2010 and contains quite a few nice tracks. A mix of pop and shoegaze all wrapped up in great melodies and dreamy vocals make this album quickly grow on you. If I didn...

Back to Black for Amy

"Troubled singer Amy Winehouse, who has battled drink and drug problems, is found dead at her London home at the age of 27", said the BBC. Another genuine talent lost at an early age. Although in the case of Amy, it was unfortunately not a surprise since her problems with drugs and alcohol were pilling up. Hopefully the world will not remember her for how she finished her last gig but for her brilliantly unique voice. Back to black it is then.. Artist.Site

Bye Bye Democracy

Yesterday's plan in Greece was straightforward: let the police loose outside the parliament so that we can continue to loot inside it. And it seemed to work as the new austerity measures were overwhelmingly voted by the government party. So who cares if we don't have democracy anymore...the only thing that matters is that those in power remain in power. It's been this way for years and yet people continued to vote in favor of them. I guess it's time for them to understand (the bitter way) th...

Hold the Lollipops

Athens66 is used to listening to bands coming from different parts of the world. However, today's band really surprised us. Once you start listening to the Lollipops' debut album Hold! it will be really difficult to guess that all this 50's and 60's inspired rock is coming from Poland. The band has been around for a couple of years and after 2-3 EPs they presented last month their first full work. I have to admit that I instantly loved their style. Pure melodic rock with a nostalgic feeling,...
