Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
January 23, 2012And… buzz goes the dynamite! Chicago’s The Smith Westerns are a fuzzy lo-fi band that has lots of pretty (and slightly psych-y) melodies floating in and around some serious (mostly) garage-rock goodness. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
February 02, 2012Local garage rockers Radar Eyes don’t have the most compelling backstory; they’re just four people from a few good bands who got together and nailed a highly listenable sound that bested what they’d done in their previous groups. more at chicagoreader.com
-
Featured Review from flavorpill
February 01, 2012On the Venn diagram of local underground rock, Radar Eyes occupy the overlap between our garage-rock, neo-shoegaze, and psychedelic circles (arguably the three strongest current rock scenes in Chicago). more at flavorpill.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
February 02, 2012It doesn’t take much squinting to see the Hold Steady and their fans as one of America’s happier and better-adjusted (not to mention most booze-drenched) cults, but anyone expecting front man Craig Finn to dish the same kind of radically affirmative rock on his recently released solo debut, Clear Hearts, Full Eyes (Vagrant), will probably be thrown by the album’s opener, “Apollo Bay.” more at chicagoreader.com
-
Featured Review from flavorpill
February 01, 2012In her excellent list of cultural resolutions for 2012, Flavorwire’s Judy Berman lamented indie rock’s return to “belabored, faux-rustic, quasi-literary troubadour stuff that we thought had passed its expiration date,” adding that, “The Bruce Springsteen impressions are getting tired.” more at flavorpill.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
February 02, 2012Yeah, it’s another band with that sound—the same fuzzy, hissy garage rock that Wavves, Real Estate, and Harlem have been poking at for what now seems like eons. more at chicagoreader.com
