I desperately needed something intoxicating and cathartic and this is just what the doctor ordered. Catchy melodies slathered deep in fuzz.

Joe Sampson of Salad Boys pairs with frontman Andrew ‘Ox’ O’Connell to make sharp-edged trash rock with nihilistic lyrics.

Sincerely sweet indie pop in the late 90s-era Belle & Sebastian mold, trending more towards chamber pop than shambling rock.

Just like the title says, this charming pop confection from the New Jersey three-piece skips from jangly high to high on their new EP.

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly.
