Hey sorry readers I haven’t been around lately (school work), I should be posting again regularly by the end of next month. Anyway I have had some time to check out some bands I never really gave a chance to before so I figured I would share them with you.
1) The Kills
2) Cage the Elephant

5) The Stills
You know the game, one orginal, one cover. First up “Where Did Our Love Go” by the Supremes
Next The Drums
Band: The Drums
Release: 3/2010
Label: Moshi Moshi
1. “Best Friend” – A-
2. “Baby, That’s Not the Point” – C+
3. “You’re the Only One Who Makes Me Happy” – B
Comments: Quirky post-punk/art rock comes from these Brooklyn jammers. With elements of surf, baroque pop, and electronica, “Best Friend” comes through as a success. The echo-laced vocals on “Baby” don’t really get my ears buzzing, to borrow a phrase from Hunx. “You’re” is a return to form with a very catchy bass sequence despite stale vocals.
Grade: B (84)
