As the legend goes, Halfsour started out as a Guided By Voices cover band. Well, you can sort of hear it if you squint your ears. But this coed trio from Boston actually reminds one a lot of the harder-edged indie pop bands of the late ’90s/early ’00s, specifically New Grenada (of whom they are… Continue reading Half Sour at Innocent Words
