Tweet Buy the album from Amazon - MP3 | CD Radical Dads don’t have the greatest band name, which sounds like something those midlife crisis dads who still have instruments lying around their house that they barely play would call themselves when set up in a garage. Lindsay Baker, Chris Diken, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah ’s Robbie Guertin have something completely different in mind with debut album"Mega Rama", [...]
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Jen Weidl and her posse in Seapony definitely have something wonderful going on in their debut for Hardly Art , Go With Me . After lots of critical acclaim on the net, it would be easy to throw this band aside as just another band making bedroom pop, which they do for the most part. But, if you can discard similarities to various other bands, you'll find that lay in wait, waiting to [...]
Rolling Blackouts is the third album from Brighton’s genre-mixing sextet The Go! Team . 2004’s Thunder, Lightning, Strike set the standard, 2007’s Proof of Youth maintained it, and latest effort Rolling Blackouts follows suit. The album is a high-energy affair from the offset, kicking off with the blistering ‘T.O.R.N.A.D.O’ – a song which epitomises the kind of sound we’ve come to expect from The Go! Team, but with a bit of extra attitude thrown for good measure. The danger with a band like this is the potential inability [...]

50. Sonny and the Sunsets – Tomorrow is Alright 2010 was a good year for straight forward beach rock that drifted with carefree lyrics and concepts. Tomorrow is Alright took the genre into a more humorous and psychedelic direction and the results were quite rewarding. Just try listening to Planet of Women and not smiling, it's not possible.

alessa kreger (From Crazy For You out now on Mexican Summer) Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno do everything about the ’60s that the ’90s got right. Fuzzy barre chords and you’re-not-my-real-dad drums meet guitar lines that are catchy and heartfelt harmonies that approach a new horizon in Best Coast vocal technique. Best Coast lyrics are delivered like the Shangri-Las but written like Mazzy Star or Cat Power or the fucking Spice Girls for that matter—it’s all boys and heartbreak and cats and drugs. If I were into gossip I’d want to know [...]
Photograph by David Black There's something about the summer that makes me moody. For that reason, I’ve been listening to a lot of “deep” music lately, or at least music that attempts to be deep. Eventually, it gets tiresome to hear affected poets grasping at straws to make their longwinded similes function with musical backing. Sometimes, pop music is too complicated for its own good, or capabilities. In contrast, Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast doesn’t write deep lyrics. She pens one-sided conversations about heartbreak, happiness, and laziness in straightforward American youth prose. A sample [...]
This year has been a great year for music thus far, and I believe the monthly mixtapes here at Musical Pairings have been a testament to that. Each one has been jam packed with great new discoveries and the August mix is no exception. This one offers a little something for everyone: lo-fi garage rock, psychedelic folk-pop, electronica, hip hop, experimental hip hop, 902s rap, synth pop, electro pop, and some good old-fashioned orchestral "indie" rock. I'd expect you'll recognize some familiar faces (Arcade Fire, Big Boi, Best Coast, and Dr. Dre, for example), but you should pay extra special [...]
![[Album Review] Crazy for you – Best Coast (2010)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2738220_lg.jpg)
I happened to stumble across this CD the other day and I already find myself singing along with this American indie-pop trio's insanely catchy lyrics. This is the first full album released by Best Coast, and I have a feeling that its songs will soon be featured in just about every teenage drama on television. The group has a really interesting sound, which has been described lo-fi 60s garage rock, although I found it to be quite reminiscent of classic rock bands like Fleetwood Mac and Heart. The songs are all [...]

Bethany Cosentino’s adoration for her cat, weed and the hazy days of summer make for some amazing noise-pop tunes. The debut of Cosentino, and bassist, Bobb Bruno’s, full album, Crazy for You , on July 27, is one big, grungy, unfinished California daze. Cosentino’s voice is often reflective of the nineties Lilith chicks such as Liz Phair, but her sound is much more undefined with garage band background noise. Most tracks on the album prove to be a ray of sunshine on a sandy beach (hence the track, Summer Mood ), but a few tracks take the kick [...]
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars You had to be hiding under a rock if you haven't heard the huge buzz surrounding the California duo Best Coast . Now Crazy for You is seeing the light of day, and for the most part,the record does its part to make sure that band keeps riding the California waves with you and your friends throughout the rest of this summer, and hopefully into the new year. This record is full of cymbals and snare [...]

![Best Coast: Crazy For You [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2705231_lg.jpg)
Get ready for your summer 2010 album. Best Coast returns after a successful 73 release for "She Was High (So Was I)" and last year's Something In The Way with Crazy For Your . Coming to us via the always astounding Mexican Summer label, Best Coast dishes out the lo-fi garage pop sound everyone's been raving about two years now. Fitting well with bands like Real Estate and Woods, and meshing even better with Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls, and The Splinters, Crazy For You finds [...]
It never ceases to amaze me how a band that only has a handful of MP3s to their name can inspire such Internet devotion. Until their debut album Crazy for You hits the streets on July 27th Best Coast is one of those bands. The L.A. duo's sound is based on '50s and '60s surf music, covered in thin layers of fuzzy, gauzy guitars. The result is a summery Raveonettes-lite sound. As the album
Photograph by Meqo Sam Cecil It’s really not Wolf Parade’s fault. Five years ago, when the Canadian rock fetish was just getting sexy and every new act seemed to be named after some kind of Canis lupus, Apologies to the Queen Mary rocked our cores before lighting our own hearts on fire. With a debut album that stellar and a wave of hype washing across the continent, there really was nowhere else to go but down. While 2008’s At Mount Zoomer may have been more of a commercial success, it [...]
Photography by Franny Cullen ... Well, hello there! Everybody have a great weekend? I sure did... Fast, fun & rainy bike ride home on Friday evening (got SOAKED!) then a lovely weekend featuring lovely weather and lovely times with Baby and friends, including but not limited to, a night of drinkin' debauchery and a morning of fast & fun bike riding! All in all, 4.5 out of 5 wheelies! I think we'd hit 5 wheelies if [...]
Face it, buzz bands come and go, lost in the waves like loose sandals or expensive sunglasses. Every year there's a whole gallery of 'em. Trios and quartets that all seem promising simply because the unholy "word" says so. But, as we all know, this just isn't true. Most of the time they amount to nothing; just some writer's flashy text and backlogged online chatter. Best case scenario: An act issues a hot single, followed by months of sold-out shows, and naturally... the debut album. This is where the road splits, the "real" journey begins, Robert Frost references, yada, yada, [...]
