MILD HIGH CLUB

BY ANGIE MARTIN

With a name like Mild High Club, it’s no surprise that Alex Brettin (the Los Angeles-based man behind the band) writes psychedelic music for all the mildly, moderately or severely high people of the world. With Brettin, the chill dial is always set on high and the California love meter is part and parcel to his sound. Brettin’s aptitude for technical skill sets the stage for layering instruments loosely yet precisely on point as tracks swell with a thoughtfulness that stimulates the mind and body to new heights. Expanding musical innovation and spicing it up with his own idiosyncrasies, Mild High Club is elevating mildness to some serious altitudes.

WITH PAUL CHERRY + LUCILLE FURS

MIIKE SNOW

BY KAREN HEERINGA

If MTV or VH1 still played music videos instead of unwatchable drivel, Miike Snow would deserve to be played all the time. Why am I not hearing this band every waking second on Pandora or Top 40 radio? Why doesn’t everyone in America hate Miike Snow by now simply from hearing their goddamn songs over and over all day every day? They should, because every song is incredibly good. Yet the ratio of Americans who actually know about Miike Snow is criminally low compared to those enlightened Europeans who pay the appropriate amount of attention to these brilliant Stockholm pop enthusiasts. Miike Snow has earned each and every single YouTube hit they have. And then some.

JULIANA HATFIELD

BY ERIN MALYSA

Here are a few reasons you should know Juliana Hatfield: Countless albums. Various bands. A book (2008’s When I Grow Up: A Memoir). And the poignant, bratty, but sweet voice of the ‘90s. The relevance of her guitar work and lyrics has laid the groundwork for some of your favorite female-fronted groups of today. In the ‘90s, she sang about hating her sister and yet wanting to be like her, her song “Spin the Bottle” was on the soundtrack for Reality Bites, and she rebelled against the male-dominated alt-rock scene of the time with strong and unmistakable opinions. Feminist? Yes. But no one puts her in a box. There are no corners in her world. Go listen, reflect and remember.

WITH POOL HOLOGRAPH

JUICEBOXXX

BY LISA MROCK

When the first results that pop up in a Google search of Juiceboxxx list him as “the worst rapper alive”, it’s hard to have much hope for the man or his music. Here’s the thing though: his music isn’t bad. Different? Yes. Hard to categorize? Yes. Bad? Too simple of a description. His track “Like a Maniac” is a noise rock declaration of how goddamn boring shit can be, basically a rock genre in and of itself. The Milwaukee native has been at it for over 15 years and keeps at it, so he must be doing something right. His new album Freaked Out American Loser is reportedly coming out this summer and is, according to Juiceboxxx, a “PUNK RAP BLAST.”
