Austin's Literature Does Cincinnati

If that postitle doesn't make quite enough sense for you, click here, here, and here. Two more excellent songs await you at that first here. (P.S.: Enjoy all the orthographical contradictions.)

Lunch Time

Appropriately enough, we found this Worcester, Mass. band at Baby, You Got a Stew Goin'! The opening riff kind of reminded us of The Replacements' "Can't Hardly Wait," which is a very good thing indeed, as is the rest of the song. As B,YGaSG! suggests, there's not a lot of info about the band, but maybe they'll serve some up soon. If you want to read their tweets, click here.

We Need Karibean

Our Italian's a bit rusty/nonexistent, but Karibean seem to be from the east coast of da boot. (Possible future side projects: Ehdriatic? Dyerrhenian?) Here's our favorite song from their Love, Tears, and Spiritual Blessing EP, all of which can be downloaded at their Bandcamp page. Learn more at Facebook.

Gross Relations Aren't Gross

We first entered into Gross Relations back in November and have just reencountered them via the ever bountiful Gimme Tinnitus. We chose our favorite from each of two tuneful two-song singles at the Brooklyn band's Bandcamp site, so pay them a visit for more if you like. You can find them here and here, along with access to two other tuneful two-song singles.
