FFO Watching a band "get better" & better & better....
I've been fans/buddies with this band for a while, and it's awesome to see them progress throughout the years. They've consistently put out new and excited records each year. I think I'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like their music on some level. Alex's drum parts have always been cool and different, and this release is no different. More drummers should follow his...

Iron Chic is melodic in the same way Latterman are but, add Lubrano's dynamic-as-shit vocals, and you've got an unstoppable force on your hands.

Busman's Holiday is two brothers. Those two brothers make songs and get their friends to help them make music. The elder brother, Addison, plays a drum kit that includes a Samsonite suitcase bass drum. The younger brother, Lewis, plays an acoustic guitar. The two create harmonies and sing songs together. The music is melodic pop with influences from numerous genres. They listen to Randy Newman, Paul Simon, James Taylor, They Might Be Giants, Madlib, Joe Pass, and Beck; and other...

At first glance it's easy to make the one-off assumption that Slingshot Dakota are some sort of Mates of State tribute act -- the male/female couple, the keyboard lead, the often cute-sounding songs all add to this. But if you dig slightly below the surface you find a band that is fully their own, even on a three-song demo CD -- with obvious influences that span the gamut of independent music.
The first track, "White Couch" dispels the fear that somehow...
