The label has been releasing weekly digital singles for quite some time now, featuring some excellent poprock and powerpop bands. This week they put out number 120 of the series, and I believe it&#8217;s the best one they released this year. It features two new songs by Popular Creeps full of great guitar driven powerpop that fans of Nada Surf and Fountains of Wayne will enjoy. The A-side (do A-sides actually apply to digital singles?) is particularly strong. It&#8217;s an uplifting song in spite of its melancholy lyrics about loss. To be specific, it&#8217;s about the death of one of the band member&#8217;s cat (&#8220;If you could talk what would you say, I wish we had just one more day&#8221;), but don&#8217;t be cold-hearted and cynical about that, it&#8217;s a heartfelt great song.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3481501655\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/split-decision-big-stir-single-no-120\">Split Decision (Big Stir Single No. 120) by Popular Creeps<\/a><\/iframe><br \/>\nAdd to wantlist: <a href=\"https:\/\/bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/split-decision-big-stir-single-no-120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Stir Records emerged from a monthly concert series in LA back in 2016.
