Introducing >>> Buffalo Tales

The debut album from Australia’s Wes Carr, aka Buffalo Tales, is called Roadtrip Confessions. As you might expect from a title like that, it is a collection of songs inspired by travels and travails from the road – tales of loves lost and found, the search for happiness and salvation, and the restlessness of rambling spirits. It is an album from a true storyteller, honestly recorded … Continue reading Introducing >>> Buffalo Tales

Introducing >>> We The Dead

At first, the new single, Kahuna, by We The Dead sounds like a very good addition to the canon of distorted, garage inspired rock. Although it kicks off in a traditional manner – as a reverb riddled, fuzzed up gem of driving guitars, it is the nicely judged melodic interludes that effectively change the pace and feel of the track and sets it even further apart … Continue reading Introducing >>> We The Dead

New EP From The Mighty Sequoyah

Warning Signs is the new five track EP from Utah’s five-piece The Mighty Sequoyah. Mixing folk, surf pop, 60s soul-style harmonies and a little bit of doo-wop, it is a sweetly reverential nod to more innocent times, of cruising boardwalks, drive-in movies, roadside diners and soda fountains and they carry it off brilliantly. Listen to the evocative I Won’t Be There and buy the whole EP here. … Continue reading New EP From The Mighty Sequoyah
