Music Recomendation: The Rumble Strips














Sounds like:
The sweet sentiment of Bishop Allen mixed with the punk rhythms of The Exploding Hearts and the poppy horns and creative keyboards of Beulah.

Makes me want to: Steal an old VW Carmengia and work it out on a curvy, tree-lined stretch of road.

I grabbed three of their free MP3s at Obscure Sound and they’ve been in heavy rotation for the last week or so.

Their first full length, Girls and Weather, hasn’t been released yet, but the freebies are great, fun, summer tracks. I can’t wait for the LP. If you like your hooks without a lot of production, you'll like The Rumble Strips.

When you compare a new band to other non-mainstream new bands.. you might be a culturati..

rejected punchlines:

..you might be clinging a little too hard to your youth.

..you might be a DC-neck.

..losing your audience.

..forcing your friends to admit to themselves they don't know shit about music anymore.

Much love,

I bet Tony knows at least two of those bands, so I'm going to have to go with option 3, Monty, although 2 has a nice ring to it.
