Show | The Acre CD Release tonight at TT the Bears

The Acre – Guilty Soul Boston’s The Acre is set to release their album Circa Trova tonight at TT the Bears place in Cambridge.  The sophomore album, was recorded with help from Chris McLaughlin (Aberdeen City, Mean Creek, Township).  With influences like Wilco, Bon Iver and Low Anthem in their minds they’ve created an album that merges those influences with their own style. The music is hilariously defined as ‘Amerigaze.’ A sort of Americana with the sleepy dreamy style of shoe gaze that creates this entrancing lush atmosphere that is absolutely gorgeous.  This is done so well in songs in…

New Music | Vandervelde – More Than You Can Feel

More Than You Can Feel

Dropping his first name for his upcoming single, David Vandervelde still sounds pretty damn awesome in his new track ‘More Than You Can Feel,’ a Neil Youngian like slow burner of a track that still contains that T-Rex influenced glam rock guitar that’s kind of fantastical. Check it out and consider buying his upcoming single in May (the 3rd) and checking out his spring tour.

Release | The Bynars – Self Title

The Bynars – Asking Your Mom for Money
The Bynars – How Does it Feel to Be In Love

Synth pop rockers The Bynars write some of the catchiest songs you’ll ever hear, the hook laden songs that are included on their just released self titled debut album will make  your ears dance.  Today, they realize their dream, release their debut and tell the world to get ready.

Over the last few months they have been releasing singles the valentine’s day release of ‘How Does it Feel to Be In Love,’ and march’s ‘Asking Your Mom For Money,’ two really tasty deliriously fun tracks.  These and the 10 other songs on the album are a joy to listen to; totally bright and fun.  This album has a certain personality that is just so damn likable, a sense of humor that is approachable and lyrics that are irrefutably perfect for their sound.  Even on the slow churned ‘Every Little Thing You Love’ the band shows this pop sensibility that is perfect for a sunny day or to just brighten the mood.  I can’t say enough great things about it, I’ve just had so much fun listening I feel its my duty to explain this in as many exclamations as possible (without actually using the punctuation).

For fans of the ‘nerd synth pop rock’ genre this album is 30 minutes long but will spend a considerable amount of time on your player of choice. Replaying again and again, singing the songs in the shower, and chair dancing to these songs is a certainty.  Have a good time and check it out.

BUY THE ALBUM. Now.  Seriously.
