Turf War – Cheers To The Years I guess if you had me cornered and I just had to pick a preference I would say that my preference is garage rock. I love how it’s messy and raw, and I love the truth (and occasionally exaggeration!)…
Mittenfields recently released their debut EP, The Fresh Sum, and my initial impression is…well, enthusiastic to say the least. ”My Mind Is An Avalanche” fills a void I’ve been nursing for a bit. The instrumentation is layer upon layer of clattering guitars woven together in a fashion…
This album was released in April of 2010. You’re thinking, why are you reviewing it now? Well, kind sir/ma’am, this album hasn’t received the attention it deserves. Our goal is to spread the music and I guarantee you haven’t heard this album before. Buckle up….

Neon Indian – Fallout Neon Indian is easily in the top ten of best band names in the last five years. Maybe top five. Sorry, just wanted to get that thought off my chest. “Fallout” is the newest track by the aforementioned synth maestro. The…
Real Estate – It’s Real I’m a bit late posting this one, but it’s not for lack of listening. “It’s Real” is real. Real real. The guitar is practically dripping sunshine and sparkling water and the simple chorus lends itself to instant sing-a-long in the…
