There’s knowing your audience and then there’s knowing your audience, and the Athens, GA band Eureka, California definitely know their audience. Why else would they package the deluxe edition of their new albumCrunch with a mock 33 1/3-style book about the record’s creation, if not to appeal to the very sorts of people who would freak out over… Continue reading Eureka California at Wondering Sound

Eureka California at Allmusic
With their sophomore album Crunch, Athens, Georgia-based fuzz pop duo Eureka California whip through 11 blasts of punk-spirited and pop-minded minimal rock, delivered with equal parts deeply considered construction and tossed-off nonchalance. The band, made up of shouty singer/guitarist Jake Ward and metronomic yet spare drummer Marie A. Uhler, plays its songs with the same careless smirking approach… Continue reading Eureka California at Allmusic
Tunabunny at Examiner
Music built around pop melodies, vocal harmonies and chunky guitars is what the Athens, GA band Tunabunny is known for.

Muuy Biien at Subbacultcha!

Eureka California at Athens Banner-Herald
With all due respect to Eureka California, the local garage-punk band that just released the stellar “Crunch” on Happy Happy Birthday to Me records, the best song on their newest collection is their shortest and simplest. “I bet that you like Julian Cope/ Don’t tell me you don’t,” Jake Ward sings over and over again… Continue reading Eureka California at Athens Banner-Herald

Since their blistering debut, This Is What Your Mind Imagines (HHBTM), two years ago, Muuy Biien have honed their craft and expanded their sound while remaining true to their hardcore punk and ambient noise roots. With their sophomore full-length, the Athens, GA quintet attack with an unbridled fury that proves they are the new face of hardcore.… Continue reading Muuy Biien at The Big Takeover
Eureka California at Flagpole
Some artists aspire for too much. Slick production? Nine-piece supergroup? Sure. When you’re done pecking at gourmet food and hanging around scenesters, Eureka California will be waiting for you just down the street. The duo’s second LP, Crunch, is even leaner and scuzzier than its first, a whirlwind of raw riffage and nimble hooks propelled by pummeling… Continue reading Eureka California at Flagpole
