Guns of Navarone
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/37707994[/vimeo] Check out the video for “Winnepeg Manitoba,” off Austin’s Guns of Navarone’s Prize and Battlefield, a record that I can honestly say I’ve probably listened to too many times. I really enjoy Reinisch’s vocals and have probably sung along to

Dinosaur Feathers

Twin Steps
Twin Steps – Pinkie Promise Check out “Pinkie Promise,” a doo wop laced experimental pop track that is extremely infectious and sometimes a little frenetic. Its more of a surreal, almost schizophrenic soundscape set to a 60’s doo-wop style. The track comes from their upcoming EP, Serial Parade out
