The band are named after a waitress the singer/piano player Adam Weiner often saw at a diner when he was young and his appreciation for her dresses. 

“Touch my body, touch my soul,

Revolution rock’n’roll”

Alex The Astronaut is Alex Lynn from Sydney, Australia, but fighting out of New York City. She is a folk-tronic musician and has only released a handful of singles since her debut in 2016. Alex is similar to The Waifs and Little Birdy. She is influenced by Paul Kelly, Lorde and Bob Dylan. Already Home (Dec'17) is an instantly lovable story-telling song in the indie folk/pop tradition but with gravitas from the swelling strings and stinging lyrics.

“And there’s billionaires for president,

And parking fines at hospitals”

America's 3 Hottest Punk Bands At The Minute In 3 Songs

1.    Sheer Mag - Nobody's Baby.

Sheer Mag burn out of Philadelphia and have three short players to their name. Nobody's Baby (March'16) is off the third EP III (March'16). Pitchfork said Nobody's Baby has “hip shaking hooks and burly riffs” and Brooklyn Vegan hailed it as “a fiery, punchy mission statement with a sing-along chorus.”

 

Sheer Mag have been compared to MC5 and Thin Lizzy. Sheer Mag's main influences are Drive-In, Bear Vs Shark, Thin Lizzy, Meatloaf and Fleetwood Mac. Sheer Mag marry seventies classic rock riffs to a roaring punk engine and Nobody's Baby's fiery vocals are belted out with furious indignation. A treasure.

2. Public Access TV - In Love And Alone.

 

 

Public Access TV are from New York City and have one short player and a few singles behind them. In Love And Alone (Nov'15) is a double A side single. NME declared their love for the band saying they have “already proved the goldmine of rock’n’roll classics has yet to run dry” and DIY hailed In Love And Alone as “their most unhinged, all-out rock’n’roll single yet.”

Public Access TV bring the urgency of punk to more complex post-punk melodies. In Love And Alone  is raw and modern, has grit and polish, the sound of the soccer stadium emptying into the fine city streets.
