MiniBoone - Big Changes
Digital $5 - CD $6 PPD in US
In the now-famous and completely overpopulated Brooklyn music scene, there is one band that stands out as the most exciting and energetic. In a very short time, MiniBoone has proven they have both style and substance. The new six song EP, Big Changes, features totally infectious melodies fused with spastic-yet-controlled rhythms to create something completely new. There's been comparisons to Talking Heads, Devo and Pavement and they are all welcome - but one listen and you'll find MiniBoone is in a league all their own.
The Walk Ons - We Did This On Purpose
Digital $4
These dive bar anti-heroes kick out supercharged, hook-filled tunes that play on in your head long after your ears stop ringing. Drawing on rock and power-pop influences like Combat Rock-era Clash, mid-70s
Stones, Cheap Trick playing Budokan, early Weezer and Bloc Party, The Walk Ons put a "Made in Brooklyn" stamp on time-honored Rock n' Roll, played tight and loud with a shit-eating grin.
The Candy Snatchers - Down At Delilah's
Digital $9 - LP Forthcoming
The unfortunate death of guitarist Matthew Odietus in 2008 has left us with the world's most dangerous band's final studio output. This latest recording features more of the same burning rock-n-roll that you would always expect from these maniacs. After 15 years as one of the best and most out-of-control situations anyone has ever seen or heard (both on and off the stage), "Down At Delilah's" shows that they never slowed down. 14 tracks dripping with the same rage, fire and intensity these guys had back in 1993.
The Bamboo Kids - The Way Things Are
Digital $4 -CD Forthcoming
From this latest recorded output, it seems as if our little Bamboo Kids have grown up a bit. Sure this NYC trio are still have bits of The Clash, The Damned and The Heartbreakers in their sound, but they've definitely evolved. The songs and their visions are clearer than ever - they take the listener on a way more personal ride. Maybe it's because Bush is finally out of office and a bit of politically charged anger has subsided. Either way, these guys are at the very top of their game and they're not afraid to show their New Jersey roots. The addition of expertly played keys and horns (a la The Boss) don't hurt at all.
