In The Mood For Some New Summer Music?

Glenn Hall

Been searching for that new band? Or a cool summer song you can blast while driving on I-84 with your windows down? Well, we got your back ...

Today, The Colin McEnroe Show welcomed their seasonal panel of music mavens. Their picks were good. Like really good. If you asked me to name a couple of my favorites, I'd suggest Jason Isbell (who will play at the Arch Street Tavern in Hartford on Sunday, Aug. 4), Colorway (a band from Northampton), and the fantastic psych-rock 12 string guitar on "Shelter Song" by Temples, a UK-based quartet.

There's also this fun cut from Broncho (who are reppin' the Oklahoma punk scene):

And we were all a little disturbed by this video from the Pixies.

Here's the full listing of the picks:

WALLY LAMB:
Randall Bramblett - “Detox Bracelet”
Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside - “Do Me Right”
Booker T feat. Jay James - “Broken Heart”
The National - “Don’t Swallow the Cap”
Patty Griffin - “Irish Boy”

ERIC DANTON:
Jason Isbell - "Flying Over Water"
The Pixies - "Bagboy"
Savages - "Strife"
Kanye West - "I Am a God"
Lucius - “Turn It Around”

JOAN HOLLIDAY:
Broncho - "Try Me Out Sometime”
Pokey LaFarge - “Central Time”
Steve Forbert - "That'd Be Alright"
Foxygen - “San Francisco”
Colorway - “Live With Me”
Temples - “Shelter Song”
Franz Ferdinand - "Right Action"
