    New Week, New Release: Redd Kross’ “Beyond The Door”

    Redd Kross has been a part of my life for literally as long as I can remember- born in 1990 to extremely hip parents, my dad was a Redd Kross fan even before my time. My parents saw the band play with The Go-Go’s in Oakland a few months after my birth, and throughout my entire childhood the promotional poster for the Neurotica album was up on our living room wall and Redd Kross tunes were constantly on the stereo. In high school, my brothers and I covered “Annies Gone” in our band, though we were never quite as cool as brothers Jeff and Steven Mcdonald.  Jeff and Steven Mcdonald…

    New Week, New Release: The Woolly Bushmen “In Shambles”

Despite the quick turn-around between albums, Dirty Needles & Pins is a fully formed effort. The album showcases a more definitive sound for The Routes- holding on to some of the psychedelia from their previous release In This Perfect Hell, along with all of the angst and aggression within the songs’ themes, Dirty Needles & Pins adds a harder edge…

    New Release: Moral High Horses

    Here’s a Halloween treat for all you trick or treaters- San Francisco’s own Moral High Horses released their debut EP this month. Released October 13th, the 4 track EP is an outstanding debut, brimming with Beatle-esque psych pop that keeps a decidedly modern edge. These don’t sound like the songs of a band’s first release- each track is beautifully written and thoroughly constructed. According to a recent post to the band’s facebook page, “We’ve been holed up for nearly a year recording this EP going through bouts of frustration and depression, moving mics inch by inch chancing better sounds, working with limited resources and equipment, breaking said resources and equipment…
