surprise of the week

(sorry for the lack of any real content lately, I pretty much hate my job right now and it is sucking my soul out)

So, I have talked, I think, about RED CITY RADIO and how great they are as a band. Well, yesterday, I got a cool surprise of finding out that they released an EP while we are waiting for their new full-length to come called "Spinning in circles is a gateway drug."

I downloaded it on my iphone before leaving work and I have since listened to the 3 tracks back to back every instant that I have listened to music today. It is that damn good. Think Hot Water Music if they started today. A little less dense sounding, more jangly, definitely awesome

Check out both of their albums by clicking the album covers below.

Red City Radio

Today I bring you one of the new bands that I am kind of keeping my eye on. One of the best things I can say to describe them is the new Hot Water Music. I really get the same kind of feeling listening to these guys as I do listening to them. They have an ep that came out in July, 2009, called "To The Sons and Daughters of Woodie Guthrie." I sometimes forget that I have had the album that long, but when I put it back on, I get the same kind of excitement that I get when I hear "Trusty Chords" from Hot Water Music. I Really want to have some clever kind of statement or what not like most reviewers do, but honestly, this band speaks for itself. Watch and listen, if you are not tapping your foot, wanting to listen to more of their songs, well, then I really don't know what to tell you.
