When the people of Earth have heard what I’ve said,
they don’t learn what was wrong or right, but, instead,
they go off with the wrong idea in their heads.
And the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea!
It’s so hard to explain how I feel
when the workers in Detroit city reveal
they’ve begun to produce the automobile.
The idea! The idea! The idea! The idea!
And I scream when I see what they’ve done,
and I know such a long, long way it has come,
and I see that there’s no way out of this one.
And the idea, the idea, the idea, the idea!
And I scream when I see what I’ve done,
and I know that there’s no way out of this one.
This is the latest release by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Oliver. EXTENDED PLAY is a great cross section of power pop and psychedelia. Start with "Marsh" and see if you ever stop listening. HVL
Sails are a delightful band from Berwyn. Check out "The Forecast" or the title track from ON MY WAY OUT for a neat blast of retro nostalgia and tidy, clever songwriting. HVL
I fell in love with the track "You are Overgown" when Bryn Austin Bellomy submitted it as part of National Solo Album Month in 2010. Since then, his Brooklyn-based group ILLUMNTR has really taken off. HVL
A sleek take on paisley pop and 60s-by-way-of-the-80s garage rock from this Detroit three-piece, equal parts fuzz and sparkly sugar. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 16, 2024
A powerhouse of a record from the Michigan metalcore stalwarts, full of sinister, stadium-sized singalongs and unbridled emotion. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2022
