Mercurial Rage have been raising the roof around here for the last couple years with their uniquely
infectious, ultra danceable sounds. Taking influence from the finest exponents of electronic pop’s first
Golden Age (think Depeche Mode, The Cure, and dance-rock bands like Happy Mondays and Primal
Scream), The Rage add their own totally unique lyrical stamp and jaunty melodic personality. (more…)

The Mood Swings - Electrical Beauty 3Sided Single

“Electrical Beauty” is the latest evolutionary step for Minneapolis garage/space/pop band The Mood Swings. The three songs are larger, freakier, tighter and catchier than anything the band has done before. Ashley’s ever-expanding noisemaking chops are very much to the fore, as are her and Sallie’s vocals. Recorded at Flowers Studio, with some odds and ends at Flowers Lab.

Track 1: Nothing New
Slide guitars echo and beams of theremin arch across the skies. Lead vocal by Ashley.

Track 2: No Place to Hide
Storming, proto-punk riff rocker with attitude. Sallie takes the lead.

Track 3: It’s So Easy
The band pays tribute to a core influence, the misunderstood and magnificent Hawkwind. Sallie handles the verses, joined on the choruses by Ashley and the Susstones Community Choir.

Welcome to 3sidedsingles.com. This project is the result of a series of conversations between me, Ed Ackerson and Paul Kolderie over the past year or so. Between the 3 of us we’ve been fortunate to be involved in music from almost every angle: as fans, collectors, musicians, songwriters, producers. As owners of recording studios, labels and digital agencies.

So this website, this whole idea is meant to do something for everyone: give listeners great music, delivered simply while also giving artists a way to show more than just one side of themselves. Give producers a forum for showcasing projects they love in a low risk way. Create a concept that can be used and extended by others.

The main “product” of this site is the 3Side. Some 3Sides may be free, others may be for sale, but any profit from these releases will go directly to the artists. We’re not creating yet another label or distribution mechanism. This site is about an idea. And it’s one we hope everyone likes and wants to participate in.
