Here is what I’ve learned: The Golden Bears are a duo, with a fair amount of help, out of Portland, Oregon: Julianna Bright (vocals and drums) and Seth Lorinczi (a whole bunch the other stuff). […]
From Minneapolis via Madison, Wisconsin comes another band to disrupt my ignorance. This is their fourth album, not a stitch of the previous three had I heard before this, and still haven’t. Nor any of […]
The Wrong Words – The Wrong Words [Trouble In Mind/2011] As always I’m a bit out of the loop, though being 3000 miles away might be considered a mitigating factor, even in this “wired” aged. […]
The Ugly Beats – Motor! [Get Hip/2010] This Austin, Texas’ combo is back for a third go-round. They’ve gone whole hog this time with the Univox-sounding organ (think “Telstar”). The variegation of ‘60s pop-rock sub-genres […]
