Second single from Make Tears promoting the upcoming new album "ParadÃsco". The band is now a quartet, still led by Edward, but looks like Frank Shark is gone. "Talk To Me" is 100% cheesy italo-synthpop cheesiness. Enjoy!

Male Tears - Sex On Drugs // video
Valentines single from Male Tears. Loving the beat, the vocals sound a bit off. I had the same problem with their last album Krypt, the guys need someone with mixing talent to lift those tracks up.

Male Tears - Delete This Conversation
Male Tears are finally back to their true, great form. "Delete This Conversation" prooves that they're at their best when exploring the gothic-tinted post-punk and darkwave territories. And the vocals finally sound good too. Overall, a gloomy, stand-alone gem. Buy it here.

Male Tears - In This House
I honestly don't know what's happening with Male Tears, since their last album "Krypt" their vocals are so poorly mixed with the track, they sort of spoil the fun of the instrumental. "In This House" is their latest single, very The Cure-ish vibe, and sweet composition - but the vocals are not sitting with me well and they make Edward sound offbeat. Check the track anyway, and support them here by buying it.

Male Tears - Sleep 4ever // video
New video single from Male Tears, ahead of their upcoming LP "Krypt". Honestly, this one is really disappointing, probably their first track I'm not feeling, the vocals in particular are not mixed too well. Love the video though.

Male Tears - Deal3r
New single from the unstoppable Male Tears, "Deal3r" can be streamed and purchased here. These guys have been on the roll since the release of "Trauma Club", and this track proves it why. Bandcamp actually also says "another offering from KINX", so could that be a new EP/album on the horizon? Hope so.

Male Tears - Jaded
Male Tears return with "Jaded", an electro-industrial single for all the apathetic goths out there. (Rad) music aside, I must admit that the artwork is on point, shout out to Silent Dimension. Don't hesitate and cop the single here (or wait til Friday for the Bandcamp day).

Male Tears - Domin8 // video
Riding on the wave from last year's "Trauma Club", Male Tears are back with a new single and video "Domin8". Darkwave/electro banger of sonic submission, dig it! You can buy the track on their bandcamp here.

Male Tears - Model Citizen // video
Male Tears just published new video to their single "Model Citizen", which is also one of my fav tracks from their brillaint last year's album "Trauma Club". Directed by AJ Strout, it is a full on tribute to the golden era of MTV videos. There are still some "Trauma Club" records and tapes left for sale on the band's Bandcamp, so don't sleep and head over here to get one before they're gone.

Male Tears - Trauma Club
Male Tears is a darkwave band from Los Angeles, CA consisting of James Edward and Frank Shark. Initially a solo project of Edward, he released Male Tears' self-titled debut in February this year via Pacific Plaza Records. A tribute to the new wave sound, the album has proven popular with fans and is currently on its third cassette pressing. Fast forward a few months and on December 3rd we got a sophomore LP, this time with Shark as a permanent member, put out by the Canadian label Starfield Music. Entitled "Trauma Club", the album is notably darker and spookier from its predecessor, both in terms of the music production and lyrics. By conjuring the 80s goth aesthetic, often flavoured with EBM influences, they crafted seven catchy synth-pop/darkwave songs that will keep you vibing until the next Halloween.
Order "Trauma Club" on vinyl and cassette here, and stream it below.
