  #BandcampGold Review-Ride The Surf by Today Junior

  #BandcampGold Review-Ride The Surf by Today Junior by Dan-O All of what Today Junior stands for is articulated in a song from their 2013 album What’s The Skinny?  called The Antidote. Lead singer Harry O’Toole dumps accept-the-universe-as-it-comes surfer wisdom “We all get sh_t for who we are, what we got and how we got it. […]

  #Bandcampgold-Bubblegum Graveyard by Apache Dropout

  

    #Bandcampgold-Bubblegum Graveyard by Apache Dropout   by Dan-O So I had no idea who Apache Dropout was until a few weeks ago; while scouring the internet for stuff to listen to I found a series that Paste Magazine had done years ago trying to find the best bands in each state, http://www.pastemagazine.com/tag/50_states_project. By the time […]

  #BandcampGold-Interrobang by Jargon Party

  #BandcampGold-Interrobang by Jargon Party by Dan-O You could pour what I know about the Emo music movement into a thimble and have room left. What I do know and enjoy is surf rock from The Ventures to Surfer Blood. The new EP from Jargon Party, Interrobang, is Emo taken to the beach and lightyears different […]

  #BandcampGold-Late Start by Bully Mammoth

  #BandcampGold-Late Start by Bully Mammoth by Dan-O I attended the album release of the new Bully Mammoth album Late Start but it was a strange decision, a gamble for me.

  #BandcampGold-Bad Moves EP by Cool Tara

  #BandcampGold-Bad Moves EP by Cool Tara by Dan-O This three song set kicked off a pretty cool discussion of the most necessary/underrated parts of a rock band in my house. That’s not coincidence either. While Cool Tara sometimes fall back into the anyone-can-do-this two minute punk song(new ep is going to be 7 songs 18 […]
