Five Songs To Listen To This Week

Seth Bogart featuring Kathleen Hanna - Eating Makeup

Seth Bogart aka Hunx has just announced a new solo album, set to be released next year. "Eating Makeup" is the album's first single, a catchy synth-punk track, and features the amazing Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, The Julie Ruin).

Regrettes - Hey Now!

Fresh off their stint supporting Jack Off Jill on their final three shows last month, Regrettes have put together a video for "Hey Now!", filmed whilst in the UK. It's a fun video and goes perfectly with the song.

The Spook School - I Want To Kiss You

While The Spook School's new album, Try To Be Hopeful, is already out here in the UK, its US release is coming up at the end of November. What better way to celebrate than with a new video? "I Want To Kiss You" is less overtly political than the album's other two singles, but is just as passionate and instantly addictive.

Niagara Balls - Don't Be A Dick At Christmas

It might not be December yet, but it's never too early for a punk Christmas song! "Don't Be a Dick At Christmas" is a great way to start the festivities, and if you don't celebrate Christmas, then it's still a fun song.

Sonic Boom Six - No Man, No Right

Channeling the "girls to the front" mantra of riot grrrl, this tracks sees SB6 addressing the fact that many female fans are still treated badly at gigs, be it as audience members or playing on stage. It's taken from their forthcoming album The F Bomb, which you can still pre-order on PledgeMusic.

Four Songs You Should Listen To This Week

Skinny Girl Diet - "Silver Spoons" - Click here to listen
This is the first single from the North London bands forthcoming Reclaiming Your Life EP (out October 16th). If you haven't yet heard Skinny Girl Diet, then "Silver Spoons" is a great place to start.

The Spook School - "Binary"

The Spook School have become known for their perfectly infectious noisy indie-pop, and this new offering doesn't disappoint. Taken from their forthcoming album Try To Be Hopeful, "Binary" sees the band questioning gender norms, culminating in a mass chorus of "I am bigger than a hexadecimal." Check out the video above, directed by Martha's Nathan Griffin.

Martha - "Chekhov's Hangnail"

Speaking of Martha, they've got a new song too! "Chekhov's Hangnail" is taken from the bands upcoming split with Radiator Hospital, who they're also touring with in October.

Doe - "This Isn't Home"

I'm particularly obsessed with this song, it immediately reminded me of Helium's The Dirt of Luck album. It wouldn't sound out-of-place in the background of a Daria episode, which should be the only reason you need to give it a listen.
