Wow, it’s the end of August, already. That’s straight up crazy. Do any of you feel like you lost a summer? Surely, for folks in many parts of the country, the cooler days of late August, and the coming autumn, are welcomed after one of the hottest summers on record. Here in coastal northern California, after a cooler summer than normal, the approach of indian summer is something to look forward to.
Anyhow, there are some great new releases this week, but not as many as previous months, and definitely not compared to what’s set to be released in September, so far. Make sure to check back for a huge mix of new singles from September releases we are looking forward to. Plus, later this week, there will be a new mix of Releases We Almost Missed, a mix of Numbers in Songs, and the last mega-MP3 mix of Indie Summer Songs.
Below are our favorite singles from new releases officially out this week, including Film School’s debut, Fission. Film School is definitely on-the-radar. With that in mind, we want to hear what you think about the band’s new single below.

In addition to Film School, today’s mix includes new singles from fresh releases by Brothers Young, TV Buddahs, Dominant Legs, Sonny and the Sunsets, The Clientele, and others. This is probably one of the few weeks this year where our top picks are bands that most people have never heard of, and as a result, has that ‘really indie’ aspect to it, which somehow makes it more pure and totally new.
