The Bats Pajamas have released another free EP on Bandcamp. This is much more focused sounding than the previous albums. They seem to have found their place in terms of noise-pop sound. Check out the rockin’ Fun Fun.

The Odd Socks embodies a lot of the east coast sound, which makes sense considering they are from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. You can get their entire self-titled album free on Bandcamp. Most of the songs have the garage dirty unpolished feel to it. While their songs need some work production with, they have some pretty weird quirky lyrics. Here’s The World is Not Over Yet from the release.

To wake you up here’s some dirty garage rock from Calgary’s Township. This is from their 7″ called Future Confusion which is in limited pressing here.
Town Ship- Real Numbers

Here’s some nice chill surf-pop sounding song for you on this gorgeous day. The group is from BC and there is a collection of free stuff over at Bandcamp if you are inclined to get more.

Arthur C. Imperial (wait his last name is imperial?) is the man behind Art Imperial. His album isn’t released until May 1st but you can stream it below. The album reflects the universal language of love and heart break. There are songs that are slow and yearning and others which are playful like Cult of Love. Even if there are a bit of religious undertones like Jesus In the Morning, I don’t seem to mind. It’s a strange subject to integrate into a surf pop sound but it works.

The Cable-Knits are jangly garage pop group from Calgary, Alberta. If you dig their in your face guitars and the retro uncleanliness, they have a free album up on Bandcamp.
