MMS was the first time I saw Early Day Miners live. They play around the area quite often, seeing as how they are based just an hour south of Indianapolis in Bloomington where their label, Secretly Canadian , makes it home. They are a 7-piece band, led by Dan Burton, that was squeezed onto and in front of a stage really only built to handle three or four. They just released their new album, Offshore at the [...]
For your listening pleasure today: some neat songs from Abandoned Love Records . Luis Bunuel - Grumpy Bear I found about this song from You Ain't No Picasso , who called it one of his favorite songs of the year. I wouldn't go quite so far, but it certainly is very enjoyable.

Download: The Lovely Sparrows--"Chemicals Change" The band we bring you today is from Austin, Texas. From what we hear, they've managed to generate some pretty good word of mouth buzz in their hometown, and if their new EP, pulling up floors, pouring on (new) paint , is any indication, it's buzz is well-deserved. With a taut, twenty minute playing length, the Sparrows get in, get to the business of delivering the pop, and get right back out. Attentive readers of the Cropper will have noticed that, in addition to having [...]
The Lovely Sparrows have an unfortunate closeness in name to The Lovely Feathers that's bound to confuse more than a couple people. But after hearing what they've got to offer, you'll see they're a bit more related (in voice at least) to Isaac Brock or Spencer Krug. MP3: The Lovely Feathers ...
