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.

After what you could say is one damn awesome ep (Horse Power EP) these guys toured incessantly and are prepping for a major release of their LP.

They are on tour now and are coming here to Boston May 10th at the Brighton Music Hall. Grab tix here. Connect with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr Facebook | Twitter | Website
Leave a CommentLost My Mind Giving Tree Left Lane Cruiser’s Junkyard Speedball is the one whiskey shot short of full on rage. The Fort Wayne, Indiana blues rock band made one of the filthiest, grimey, dusty blues rock albums I’ve heard. The aptly titled, Junkyard Speedball, lifts off with raging stomper ‘Lost My Mind’ which is a visceral hard hitting, loose and fast track that sounds like it could be the music for a high speed chase scene and sets the tone for the entire album. Junkyard Speedball moves on to a more soulful bluesy track in ‘Giving Tree,’ and James Leg…
Leave a CommentI wholeheartedly disagree with all the negatives about the Head and the Heart’s album; and well I just like this damn song. Check them out from last night on Conan playing their song ‘Lost in My Mind.’
2 CommentsHome Is Not Places I’ve been trying to write this review for what feels like a month, seeing the name of the post I keep saying to myself, ‘Gotta write that, people need to know’ and every time I open it up and listen to the album I get lost in the music. So the beginning of the story is I first had the opportunity to listen to Apache Relay almost a year ago. I had received a tip about the band, inquired and actually had their single ‘Home is Not Places’ that actually got lost in the shuffle that…

So happy to hear and let everyone know that Dawes will be releasing their new album June 7th. The album, entitled Nothing is Wrong will be the follow up to their fantastic North Hills album which was out 2 years ago. They released this song ‘If I Wanted Someone’ which if you’ve been to any of their shows over the past 8 months or so you’ve probably heard it. It features gorgeous gang chorus’ a very ‘petty’ guitar riff, a wandering Goldsmith guitar solo and per usual some really great songwriting.
One of my absolute favorite bands out there, they are just so fantastic and I’m near jumping out of my seat at hearing the first recording of this track.
Grab a copy for yourself:
You need to see this band live. Period. And they are making it easy…
