Crocodiles - Sunday [7"]

Bought this maroon-coloured 7" by CROCODILES at their show in the basement of the Amsterdam Paradiso a few months ago. It's the first single off their latest Endless Flowers album.
SUNDAY (Psychic Conversation #9) is a typical Crocodiles song: fuzzy and rocking. B-side Fascist Cops is a cover, originally by Belgian punk band The Kids, and totally fits their (Ramones/Jesus & Mary Chain-influenced) sound.

Ringo Deathstarr - Shadow EP [10"]

This SHADOW EP is one of the vinyls i bought at RINGO DEATHSTARR's support show for the Smashing Pumpkins, in Amsterdam last year. I knew the band already but it was the first time i saw them live, and i was pretty much blown away. Although the stage was a bit too big for them, it was a really good show.
This EP came out late 2011 and is filling the gap between their first album (Colour Trip) and the upcoming second, which is planned for later this year.
I love this band's sound. It's kind of a mixture between The Jesus And Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and A Place To Bury Strangers. The song Just You is a cover of Angelo Badalamenti's tune that was featured on the second season of Twin Peaks.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Young Adult Friction & Come Saturday [7"]

This one's about two 7"es at the same time. It should've been about three, but unfortunately i do not own the Everything With You 7", which is the oldest of the three singles lifted off THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART's s/t debut album.

Both the album and its three singles have the same cover art. The album's in black, and the single that i miss, is in blue. There's also a limited CD EP with this cover, in yellow. I especially like the fact that the vinyls are the same color as the cover art (maroon and green in this case, respectively).
Radio-friendly indie rock, that's what this is. Many people call this shoegaze but if it can be compared at all to My Bloody Valentine and the likes, it would be their pre-Creation (mid 80's) period. Great catchy tunes though, and a very sympathetic band.
