From Indian Lakes’ newest release Able Bodies gathers up all its sharp edges, gentle hooks, and vulnerable subject matters and ties them together in a beautiful package. The variation keeps each track interesting and memorable while still staying in line with the rest of the songs.
From the very beginning strains of the first song on The Broderick’s self-titled LP, the album’s compelling nature is apparent. The skillful lyricism combined with its simmering emotions make for a cohesive twelve-track set that never lacks enough differentiation to keep the entire album feeling fresh.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] It’s Thanksgiving and this year we’re thankful for another episode of First Person. Josh has a room full of friends around as he introduces tracks from The Mowglis, Crystal Fighters and… Eddie Murphy(???)
[imgfull] [/imgfull] This week, we’ll dive into The Long Ranger movie and the meaning of the word “kemosabe”, then jump into tracks from The Wombats, Chvrches, and Everything Everything.
For their No Sleep Records debut, Major League were able to pull out all of the stops. While they may still be a relatively new band, Hard Feelings easily has the potential to become a classic and will find the band moving up to the big leagues of pop punk.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] There’s so much going on from storms to hurricanes to snow to elections, and luckily there’s plenty of new music to help us face it all. Josh introduces us to songs from The Orwells, Mat and Kim, and The Babies on this week’s First Person.
Move Out West is a band that has never been easy to label. A constant presence in the Connecticut music scene, the band has formulated an entirely unique sound which combines old-school rock ‘n roll with more contemporary pop rock.
Slingshot Dakota pack an impressive punch considering the band consists of just two members: Carly Comando covering vocals and keyboards and Tom Patterson on percussion. The duo’s most recent release, Dark Hearts, transitions between plaintive songs that hang in the air residually like life’s difficult questions and fiercer, more gritty anthems enveloping Comando’s clear voice.
At a time when many bands would rather stick to trends than take a risk, Peace’d Out shine as something fresh that hopefully won’t be another one-and-done side project. The members take elements from each of their respective bands and put a collective spin on things, creating a sound all their own.
