Found Sister Sandy nearly two years ago, and the music got me through a lot. As a songwriter, Chris runs circles around the indie bands I've seen.
P.S. Hope to see Magazines or Mascots return one day!
Tokyo Police Club's "Church Demos" really hits home how special TPC is as both an album and as a band, showcasing the raw energy of their songwriting and having each member of the band utilized to their fullest potential in a spectacle of lightning fast tunes and cool heartfelt blues.
Painting an ambient, dreamlike feel with its varied instrumental palette, stellar production, and cool cover art, Squaring Circles releases a surreal odyssey of a single.
Never Not Together is a thoughtful embrace of Nada Surf's maturity and growth, staying true in heart and putting their best strengths to play with this brightening, hopeful record.
Making a distinct debut with their solid power-pop tunes and fun melodies, glass beach cements a unique spirit by taking familiar influences and making their own mark in the genre.
Catchy melodies, great synth leads, and a metropolitan soul that perfectly encapsulates the feelings of being young, dumb, and a little troubled with love. Underappreciated and overlooked.
