TweetShare Photography by me. “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” – John Lubbock I’ve been toying with the idea of putting together a mixtape for a [...]

TweetShare Yet another fine song from Indianapolis’, soon-to-be-San Franciscan three-piece Burnt Ones. Last week….or was it the week before……I can’t remember, I’m posting so much about these guys lately it’s difficult to keep track. Ok, it was last week I posted a live video of them taken at the end of June and last weekend [...]

TweetShare Last night (Saturday July 10th) saw Burnt Ones release their highly anticipated, sure-to-be critically acclaimed debut album “Black Teeth & Golden Tongues”. They only released it in Indiana last night, with a national release coming on August 10th via Dodge’s new label Roaring Colonel Records.  Below there’s an excellent video of them performing their [...]

TweetShare I keep going on about Burnt Ones and I’m beginning to think that I’m just annoying people now, but I genuinely cannot get enough of them. When this was recorded by the excellent Edinburgh guys and gals and cats and dogs at Off The Beaten Tracks back in March, I hadn’t even heard of [...]

TweetShare Vacation Club are a four-piece from Lafayette and Indianapolis, Indiana,  comprised of Sam, Brandon, Jered, and Jacob.  They make infectious garage rock tunes, tinged with 50s doo-wop melodies and jangly guitars. I was turned onto them by Burnt Ones’ Facebook page, and since Burnt Ones make such good music themselves I had to trust [...]

TweetShare Indianapolis three-piece Burnt Ones describe their sound as “a broken radio with a tape-deck full of magic mushrooms”, and they’re pretty spot on.  Their four publicly available songs switch between Glam, Surf, Garage, and Lo-Fi, interspersed with all manner of fuzzed-up bass riffs by Brian Allen, reverberating drum beats by Amy Crouch, and the vocals [...]
