The Breedings – Calm

 Regular readers of this blog will recall seeing The Breedings posted here last year with the video / review for the 2010 release, Turn. Their new long-player, entitled Fayette was released August 2013, and the ballad Calm, seen here, is from that long-player. Erin and Willie (Breeding) make country music in the same vein as The Civil Wars or Flagship Romance. It has that country vibe, without much of the annoying (for me, anyway) twang. You can find more information on The Breedings by visiting…

Campfire Ok – Wishing You The Best

 Wishing You The Best is from Campfire OK’s second long-player, the title track of which you heard here about 6 months ago or so. At that time, When You Have Arrived (the long-player) was still yet to be released.

Listening to Wishing You The Best all the way through, you will…

Flagship Romance – Hit The Ground

 About 5 months ago, I reviewed the fun folk-country-pop of Flagship Romance and their song Treason from their debut EP, The Fudge Sessions (January 2013). These two provide such beautiful harmonies and incredible melodies, that they deserve yet another look. Hit The Ground is a true testament to this duo’s love for each other and yet another look at those oh so important harmonies. If you can carry a tune in a bucket, you will easily be singing along with all of…

The Bats – Simpletons

 A few weeks ago, I made reference to The Bats when reviewing Evil Eyes 2012 single, Playing With Matches. It got me wondering about the band that I’ve loved for what seems like forever. Here from the 2011 long-player Free All Monsters, The Bats video for Simpleton shows the aftermath of the Christchurch, New Zealand 2011 earthquake. The Bats may not have changed much from their formula sound created back in the 80’s, but they are truly a band with a great catalog…
