On Saturday, Bunnygrunt plays Off Broadway to celebrate the release of their sixth, maybe fifth, album: Vol. 4. It’s a hearty collection of songs that rip; 16 total are included on the cassette/CD. Lucky for us, Christian Schaeffer of The Riverfront Times wrote an exquisite review of Vol. 4 that just went up this morning; check… Continue reading Bunnygrunt at I Went to a Show

Marshmallow Coast at Rock Decibels
L’ancien élève de Elephant 6, Andy Gonzales (ex-of Montreal, The Music Tapes, Mond Brains) est de retour sous le sobriquet de Marshmallow Coast pour le dernier chapitre de sa carrière prolifique (ceci est quand même son neuvième album). Vangelis Rides Again sonne comme un disque italo lounge album ; laid-back et brumeux, les morceaux sont comme… Continue reading Marshmallow Coast at Rock Decibels

Bunnygrunt at Beehive Candy
So what do we know about Bunnygrunt? Well first of all we know that whoever wrote their promo has a superb way with words, we read – They started off twee but spent so much time on the road that they learned how to rock. The missing link between Teenage Fanclub and Teenage Wasteland, like… Continue reading Bunnygrunt at Beehive Candy
Bunnygrunt at This is Book’s Music
The album cover is homage to Black Sabbath’s Vol. 4 but instead of Ozzy Osbourne extending his hands, it’s a cat. Or at least I think it’s a cat. Nonetheless, Bunnygrunt are here with what some are calling their 4th or 5th album, but Vol. 4 (Happy Happy Birthday To Me) shows what it can… Continue reading Bunnygrunt at This is Book’s Music
Bunnygrunt at Broadway World
They started off twee but spent so much time on the road that they learned how to rock. The missing link between Teenage Fanclub and Teenage Wasteland, like a bat out of hell baby, Bunnygrunt was born to run.

I’m sure the title, “Vol 4,” will confuse some folks, seeing as how this is actually their fifth album. I can only assume the band is viewing this as the fourth record released by… Continue reading Bunnygrunt at Tullycraft Nation
Crayon at Big Takeover
I never surmised that someone would remember Brick Factory 20 years after the fact, let alone epitomize it with a vinyl reissue. Crayon It’s nearly impossible to walk away from this one without an impression having been etched of some variety, thanks to Sea Tollefson’s tone-deaf yet endearing whine. Indeed, this dude’s uber-nerdy vocal aplomb… Continue reading Crayon at Big Takeover
Throwing Muses at Big Takeover
P/P arrived in 2013 as a book containing lyrics, artwork, and downloads, but here it is a 32 song double LP, vinyl manifesto. After 2003, Kristin Hersh released her solo albums and some 50 Foot Wave material, but it took a decade to get this fractured and sprawling Throwing Muses epic into shape. There’s a… Continue reading Throwing Muses at Big Takeover
Marshmallow Coast at Flagpole
Though it was associated with Athens’ Elephant 6 collective, songwriter Andy Gonzales’ Marshmallow Coast (alternately known as M Coast) never achieved the same widespread recognition as some of its contemporaries, perhaps due to the group’s high level of turnover, or its frontman’s unwillingness to pigeonhole the project. Indeed, Gonzales has never sat still long enough… Continue reading Marshmallow Coast at Flagpole
