James Brandon Lewis has been an integral part of some site favorites over the past few years — Mendoza Hoff Revels, The Messthetics, Alan Braufman’s Infinite Love Infinite Tears — but its…
I’m very excited to see a new record on the way from RSTB faves Tobacco City this morning. As much as modern mainstream country would like paint itself as a true portrait…
We Are Time break out of their Canadian confines to pick up the post-punk jitters of NYC’s Consumables. The band’s first single for the label is “Great Design” a propulsive piece pummeled…
In stark contrast to current events, the bulk of Strawflower’s debut conjures a Californian dream captured in the gauzy glow of sunset and a nascent neon flicker. This one snuck out last…
