After a failed venture with Columbia Records and production team The Matrix, The Mooney Suzuki are bringing their garage rock by way of V2 Records. The band's The Maximum Black EP was released on September 5th. It has six new tracks and five old, never-released songs. So let's do the math...including this EP, the band has been on three labels and has released 31 songs in the last five years. That's not the output of band trying to break out. Let's hope the V2 full-length makes it to market before garage rock is even more dead that it already is.

• Teddybears: "Yours To Keep" Annie remix (MP3)
• Teddybears: "Punkrocker" featuring Iggy Pop (MP3)

Sweden's Teddybears have been making a bit of noise in the blogosphere lately -- that's what happens when Cornetstone is doing promotion. This remix "Yours to Keep" by Annie will scratch your indie dance-punk itch. The song "Punkrocker" has vocals by the one and only Iggy Pop. Nice. Check the band's MySpace page for audio streams. Their album, Soft Machine, will be out on September 26th (the digital album will be released a week prior).
