Bands to Watch...or Listen, rather
I’ve been hearing a lot of amazing new bands lately. Unfortunately, all I have are EPs of these fresh, new artists.

Girls - Solitude
Have we got any Roy Orbison in the RCRD LBL vaults to link through to? No? I didn’t even check truth be told. Still, Girls are here now and their doo-wop’ll do just fine; "Solitude" a throwback to a simpler era when all you needed to communicate lovesickness were slow guitar arpeggios and a wobbling croon. A song so tender you feel the physical version of it would bruise...

Girls | Mercury Lounge | 6.25.2009
Sometime in the last twelve months, Girls got good. They were good last July when I saw them at both Market Hotel and Glasslands, but but there was a ramshackle vibe that felt like they weren’t sure whether they were really ready to leave the bedroom. But at Mercury lounge they are really good. Like "Whoa what happened" good. Credit new drummer (all loosey-goosey Keith Moon fills...
