Album Review: Meat Head by Gaffa Tape Sandy

Album Review: Meat Head by Gaffa Tape Sandy

Roll up your sleeves alongside a smart, young pop group that really wants to talk about gender and equality, in the most intellectual and also in the danciest terms. Our favorite song: Meat Head. (Reviewed on our #20 podcast, hills hoists.)

Album Review: Skeleton Run by The Pretty Littles

Album Review: Skeleton Run by The Pretty Littles

The Pretty Littles are the best thing to come out of Australia since Hills Hoists. Our love for this band knows no bounds. One to watch. Our favorite song: Hills Hoists (and Sober). (Reviewed on our #20 podcast, hills hoists.)

Album Review: Master Manipulator by Native Daughters

Album Review: Master Manipulator by Native Daughters

Big, huge, massive sounds, made more enormous by their adherence to perfect rhythm. The best double drum kit sound ever. Get your metal on! Our favorite song: Sleep Lump(reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Full Length Album by The Flora Ways

Album Review: Full Length Album by The Flora Ways

Uncomplicated, joyful, well-written, badly-produced songs that make you want to jump around. We can’t wait to hear more from this band. Our favorite song: Fruit Punch (and Cowboy’s Getting Laid Tonight. And the one about Memory) (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Deaf Dogs by Bundles

Album Review: Deaf Dogs by Bundles

Great songs with insane amounts of energy. Bundles has got to be the most underrated band in the world. We love that thing you do! Go! Go! Our favorite song:The State of Seattle (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Watchdog by Gringo Star

Album Review: The Lamb by Lala Lala

We’re in love with this song. The music references minimalist post punk with dark emotional truth telling, and then explodes into the chorus “you are the reason, you are the reason my heart broke behind my back.” Our favorite song: Destroyer (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Lemon Memory by Menace Beach

Album Review: Lemon Memory by Menace Beach

Some art for ya. Weird sounds and great songs. Lovely vocals and a giant sweatsuit. Highly recommended. Our favorite song: Suck it Out. Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po

Album Review: Catholic School by Joey Sweeney and the Neon Grease

Album Review: Catholic School by Joey Sweeney and the Neon Grease

Really intelligent, very listenable and indeed danceable music from Philadelphia. We don’t find it Dad-like, we find it role-model-like. Our favorite song: Baptized in Vibe.Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po

Album Review: Watchdog by Gringo Star

Album Review: Watchdog by Gringo Star

Poppy, funky, cool – leaving into some classic 50s references – and then some dirty dirty vocals. We don’t watch ourselves and we certainly don’t want anyone watching us – as we search for love. Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po
