Puerto-Rican band DAVILA 666 are just took time out of their hectic schedule to release a new album,
Tan Bajo which was out last week on In The Red. The band has been trying its best to win the crown for “World’s Greatest Party Band” and DAVILA 666 looks to bring the mayhem stateside sometime soon.
Rumor is there will be a stop at SXSW on the group’s North American tour, the details they will be releasing any day now. Until then, check out the song “Esa Nena Nunca Regreso” right here!
The release of Garage-pop trio Nodzzz’s 2nd full-length LP is only a few months months away now, and the group couldn’t be more excited. Drawing its title from the band’s origins as athletes in Olympia, Washington, Innings is a collection of neurotic power-pop antics, and jangly, amateurish post-punk.
Beginning later this month, Nodzzz is touring the West Coast. Check out the list of dates down below.

Helvetia is all set to release their newest album, On the Lam on April 12th via Static Cult Label.
The album is made up of twelve tracks culled from the forty tracks that the band had recorded. You can listen to the album’s title-track right now over at Magnet (check it out here).
Helvetia is a psychedelic rock outfit that is the brainchild of Jason Albertini and Canaan Dove Amber. The two re-united after Albertini finished working with a variety of different bands, including Xiu Xiu, Papercuts and Mike Johnson & The Evil Doers.
You can find On the Lam in stores or online on April 12th. The album’s track list goes like this:
1. Saucer of Dread
2. Bring Me The Knives
3. On the Lam
4. Arise Pt. 1
5. Sixes
6. Ground Plane
7. Below The Salt
8. This One
9. Hustle & Sparrow
10. The Mountain
11. Here Is Just Anywhere
12. A Patient Ma
Things are looking up and down for Interpol. Should we start with the bad news first? Dave Pajo who recently replaced the infamous Carlos D. last year, has just stated that he is out of the band. Pajo explained in a press release that “I’ll be taking a break from touring to focus on family. There are no personal, artistic or health reasons– it’s really as simple as that!” Though the statement on his Facebook the next day makes us think that he has something else in store for the music world as it reads “Thank you, friends, for all your kind words of support and well-wishes!!! Exciting news ahead, stay posted.” Currently Brad Truax from Soliders of Fortune who just put out a release on Mexican Summer (the same label that houses Best Coast) will be taking over bass duties for the band.
In happier news for the band, in the midst of an international tour, they have just put out a North American TourEP which also features the openers on the dates, School of Seven Bells and Matthew Dear. You can download the goodies right HERE.
