Eureka Califonia is one of those myriad band names that’s irritating as hell to search for online, but the difficulty’s kind of the point. This is a band you want people to have to earn the discovery of, which makes this review kind of a double-edged sword. I want you all to know about the… Continue reading Eureka California at Nuthouse Punks

Bloody Knives at Austin Town Hall
I’ve been following Bloody Knives pretty closely the last several years. The band play an abrasive version of modern dream pop/shoegaze, filling in their tracks with buzzing guitars and a warmth in the vocals that somehow manages to steady the ship for listeners. Their latest effort, I Will Cut Your Heart Out for This, already… Continue reading Bloody Knives at Austin Town Hall
Halfsour at This Is Book’s Music
Outside of being a band that nicely blend courageous rock with wonderful pop craftiness, halfsour are a band that make their songs well partly due to Ian Gustafson, Matthew Mara and Zoë Wyner trading vocal duties from song to song. One way to describe what they do is power pop but when you hear something… Continue reading Halfsour at This Is Book’s Music
deardarkhead at This Is Book’s Music
Not sure if this is what I should be hearing but Deardarkhead (“dear dark head”) sound like they are firmly immersed in their new wave influences, or at least they either grew up listening to a lot of 80’s music and are taking in some of the best elements before examiming, destroying, and re-forming it… Continue reading deardarkhead at This Is Book’s Music

Halfsour at Raised by Gypsies
If you’re Halfsour, what does that make the other half of you– sweet? Or is this one of those glass half empty/glass half full type of deals? While I have no answers to these questions I will say that if you should happen to name your band Halfsweet I think you should totally go… Continue reading Halfsour at Raised by Gypsies
Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
There are a number of ways to describe the music of Eureka California, some of which I have used already in previous reviews. Eureka California is loud. It is music which feels like you could hear it through your walls if your neighbor is playing it, you know. But it’s something more… Continue reading Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
Witching Waves at Raised by Gypsies
I first heard Witching Waves because of a split cassette they did with As Ondas. I remember this split cassette because not only did I really enjoy it but because someone randomly sent me a message on SoundCloud asking to buy it from me. If I recall, the potential buyer didn’t live in the… Continue reading Witching Waves at Raised by Gypsies
