Popa's Top 2014 Releases

Been digging on the end of year lists compiled by those whose tastes I like and yowza, some good stuff came out in '14 many obvious choices for those with discerning tastes, though unfortunately there are omissions when wittleing down.  Here is an eclectic list that got my ears all a tingle this year.

The Nuclears 'This Is How We Party' is coming the end of January!

Tighten the elastic band on your party hats, hike up your party pants New Years Eve may be over but, This Is How We Party by New York City's primo beer-chugging, sci-fi-referencing, leather-jacket-wearing rock & roll band The Nuclears is coming the end of January. Ten hellious, roof raising, dance floor crashing Rock and Roll monster tunes!

This Is How We Party [single] and B-Side Zegema Beach

The Nuclears'/The Bottom Dollars Split Single

In the middays of December as possibly the last winter solstice on earth approached packing only the bare necessity’s twinkies, dried fruit, nuts, candy bars, alcohol a few cans of sterno and a slew of equipment,  The Nuclears, The Bottom Dollars and the Queen of the scene Jet Girl Ky Digregorio exiled themselves to a studio mansion in Windham, NY to record a new split single. Baby I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down/Morning Thunder with the fabulously lushous, Briana of Brianna Layon and the Boys contributing soulful vocals.
The result is a deliciously Berry Gordy sounding track of ass shaking danceable rockin’ soul backed with a rippin’ hand clappin’ anthem rocker.



UPDATE:

The Nuclears play their new single at the Bowery Ballroom, January 4th, 2012.
