Bars of Gold Of Gold Friction Records 2010 mp3: Bars of Gold - "The Hustle" Sometimes the rules are broken, sometimes the rules are flaunted. Then there is Michigan/Virginia's Bars of Gold, glorious in its messy plate of keys & melodies & folk electronica backbeats. And it's all great, unhinged and roughshod in an unrelenting force of (post)modern pop music. It's appropriate its lead single, "The Hustle" is almost all of those [...]

Some things are just timeless: an excellent beer, Gone With The Wind , your best bros, and balls-to-the-wall punk rock. Virginia and Michigan's own Bars of Gold hope to capitalize on the latter two. Longtime bandmates Ben Audette, Brandon Moss, Nick Jones, and Scotty Iulianelli of instrumental rock outfit Wildcatting joined hands with old friend and former vocalist of the short-lived but highly respected Bear vs. Shark , Marc Paffi, to kick out some jams. The result is complex, but searing. Their debut record, Of [...]

First things first, a bit of the back-story. Bear vs. Shark only released two albums. Each is fantastic in its own right, highlighted by the critically acclaimed 2005's Terrohawk , an indie/post-hardcore record at once chaotic, energetic, jazzy, emotional, soothing and melodic.
