The Its – Review

June 7, 2005

Something charming about this band that I can’t place. From Chicago, sound young and like nice guys, and they love bouncy pop. Very British enunciation.

The Capes – Taste – Review

June 7, 2005

Part jangle, part jumpy garage, part sweeping, anthemic Britpop, part ’60s surf pop, part trendy electroclash. And it’s a six-song EP.

Seer – Review

The guy can sing, belt it out, warble and waver like Muse and The Sheila Divine/Dear Leader, and the band back him nicely, not showing off, not sucking.

Pajo – Review

June 7, 2005

David Pajo (M, Ariel M, Papa M, Slint, and Tortoise) records some intimate songs on his laptop, even singing directly into the computer. Gentle and well done.

Glue – Sunset Lodge – Review

June 7, 2005

Like scratchy old blues records, music box tinkle, a lonely trumpet soliloquy. White guy rapping usually turns me off like lima beans on a hot fudge sundae.
