Cloud Nothings - Cloud Nothings

Cloud Nothings are one of my favorite bands. They had a kick ass first album that made #5 on our albums of 2010 list, and have a self titled album coming out at the end of January that you can pre order here. These guys know how to rock. I saw them last year in New Haven, I was deaf for 3 days. 'Should Have' follows the same successful formula that you will find on their first record. I can't wait to get the new one, and hopefully see these guys again this year.

True Panther Tracks

I've got two new tracks from one of our favorite labels True Panther Sounds. Cloud Nothings who will be playing with Fucked Up at Toads on Sept 7th (Be There!) the song is 'Leave You Forever' another fuzzy, jangly, perfect song from this band. Every song they release ups the ante, these are true rockers from Ohio. Be sure to see them when they come to town.

The other song is from Real Estate, who just recently played a show here in the Cut. This song is soooooooo Real Estate. Lofi beach haze and this band does it best. You can buy both of these tunes on upcoming 7'' releases. Stream them for now, grab them and throw them on your Autumn Playlist

Cloud Nothings - Didn't You 7''

Garage rock wonders Cloud Nothings blew me away with their Record Store Day Performance. They are true rock n rollers. Their album 'Turning On' has been in OA's Albums Always Spinning column almost since this blog came out. It's irresistibly catchy and innocent. They are putting out a new 7'' on Old Flame Records. 'Didn't You' and 'Even If It Worked Out' is the groups best work to date (except for Cant Stay Awake). They use the same successful formula of hooking you in with catchy as fuck riffs and lyrics, jangly guitars, reverb soaked vocals, and killer drums. Their drummer is a bad ass mother who don't give an F about nothin. And wouldn't you know it, you can download the entire thing once your done reading this sentence....butttttt you should own the vinyl.

Cloud Nothings on Record Store Day

Saturday was a glorious day for music lovers. Record Store Day had tons of material, discounts, and live performances all over the country. Cloud Nothings (more here) stopped back home for their RSD performance. They played to about 25-30 people (shame on you cleveland) outside of Music Saves in downtown Cleveland. This band is so good live. How their drum set hasn't broken in half yet, I don't know. They are everything that is right with rock and roll music. Check out their RSD performance of 'I Can't Stay Awake' below, and check out the entire set HERE. 
PS - their drummer reminds me of the one and only zack kornfeld

Cloud Nothings & Speaker Tree Records

Speakertree Records is an independent record store in downtown Lynchburg, VA selling new and used CDs, vinyl LPs and 7”s. They specialize in smaller label releases, vinyl LPs, handmade goods, and magazines. They can special order almost any CD or in print LP that you are looking for and get it in quickly...I got my order of vinyl in four days. I would not call Speakertree a label, but they have released one album, Cloud Nothings 'Turning On' on January 19th.

These boys know how to jam. Messy lofi fuzz, catchy hooks and riffs followed by exploding guitar jams..total head boppin music. I feel like Cloud Nothings did exactly what they needed to with this album. A new band making a short record filled with fun fuzzy pop songs that you can listen to on a car ride with your friends. I only wish it was longer. Clocking in at < 30 min, it left me wanting more. I flipped it back over and started again.
