Animal Daydream at Austin Town Hall

There are occasions when you get a tune that you can stop playing; it seeps into your soul, delighting your senses every step of the say. That’s precisely the sentiment I got when I first put on this new single from Sweden’s Animal Daydream.  The guitar work could possibly take a nod to some of… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Austin Town Hall

Lunchbox at Innocent Words

After more than a decade off, the Berkley power pop band Lunchbox is back with what is easily their finest collection of songs. A little goofy, but immensely fun, ‘Lunchbox Loves You’ is 10 indie pop songs brimming with jangly guitars, singalong choruses and plenty of hand claps. Infectiously optimistic, the band has slimmed down… Continue reading Lunchbox at Innocent Words

Lunchbox at This is Book’s Music

Lunchbox changed their name to Birds Of California, and then decided they wanted to revert back to Lunchbox again. If you’re into good ol’ pop with a pinch of bubblegum rock, you’ll want to pick up a box of their candy right now, which is called Lunchbox Loves You (Jigsaw). The songs sound like innocent-yet-direct pop rock,… Continue reading Lunchbox at This is Book’s Music

Lunchbox at Get it On Vinyl

When it comes to indie-pop, there seems to be two avenues in which an artist can approach the genre.

Others give into the sound and their lyrics are more carefree, their subject matter shallower. While both have… Continue reading Lunchbox at Get it On Vinyl

Lunchbox at Did Not Chart

It seems too strong to say that Lunchbox have been written out of history simply because they were never in it. They wouldn’t have existed without Rocketship – whose jubilant keyboards and punchy guitar riffs inform Lunchbox’s moves – who themselves haven’t even got into the history books. But Lunchbox Loves You, their 5th album,… Continue reading Lunchbox at Did Not Chart

Throwing Muses, Hobbes Fanclub, Joanna Gruesome, Lunchbox, Fishboy, Primitives at Tuning Into the Obscure

The Hobbes Fanclub – Up At Lagrange – Shelflife Records – LP/CD Hazy and dreamy guitars and vocals gives this album a sort of hot, hazy and lazy summer feel, which for me is just perfect. It’s refreshing and relaxing at the same time, without compromising on songwriting or quality.  It definitely fits in with Shelflife’s vast… Continue reading Throwing Muses, Hobbes Fanclub, Joanna Gruesome, Lunchbox, Fishboy, Primitives at Tuning Into the Obscure
