"Expatriate" is a melodically dreamy pop song hushed by what sounds like percussion played with padded mallets and simple keyboard notes backed by a clean and subtle plucked guitar riff. This is my introduction to Shayna & The Bulldog , so it was initially surprising to hear the song break into a full-fledged romp half-way through the song. Dream-pop melodies becomes bouncy, powerful indie-pop. It's this power pop sound that is the norm for this band, but the dreamy elements are what make "Expatriate" the perfect summer song, although on the hotter days of summer, some [...]

Who wants to be introduced to a new band? Who wants to educate those of us unfamiliar with Shayna and the Bulldog ? We're always looking to increase our musical knowledge, so when we heard Shayna and the Bulldog were preparing their debut album, States , for an August 25th release, we got a bit excited. The group is being compared to a wide swatch of rootsy Americana, from Ryan Adams to Wilco to Tom Petty and Camper Van Beethoven. Considering how many sounds those points of reference infer, we could be in for one stomping [...]
Shayna and The Bulldog is a Davis, CA band that have recently self-released their debut EP, Firecracker In Winter . It is a mix of alt-country and indie rock/pop. The band has two lead singers, Charles Caskey and Joel Daniel, that write songs that are so different from each other that you would think that you are listening to different bands. Charles Caskey's songs are on the alt-country side and are similar to something that you would hear if you mixed The Bottle Rockets with The Sycamores . Joel Daniel is more [...]
