Get Lost in the Pinegrove

Some folks are labeling the Montclair, NJ (mostly) 8-piece band, Pinegrove, as alt-country. I don't think that's terribly fair, but then again, labeling things is hard to do well. We as Americans love to label (#LTL). It's one of our favorite past times. Dr. Remen...

Spirit Animal – Regular World

Wombats – Give Me A Try

Merseyside indie rockers (that's Liverpool btw - home of legendary LFC), The Wombats, are on the rebound. After a triumphant platinum release, a crazy touring schedule, and unexpected success, they fell in to dark times loaded with vehicular accidents casting gloomy shadows and disrupting their...

Catfish and the Bottlemen – Homesick

Welsh indie rockers, Catfish and Bottlemen, sound like a band name made up on the set of Simon Pegg's movie, "The World's End" - if you haven't seen it it's funny as hell, and plus then that reference would make sense...
