Surf music might seem like a pretty one-dimensional genre for someone to mess around with over 50 years after it first appeared. However, if you think The Ventures and The Beach Boys said all there was to say with this sound, you really need to check out The Shivas. Mixing surf-guitar vibes with some tasty early 60s multipart vocal melodies, this...
I must admit, as a 90s lady with some pretty predictable teenage musical loves, I find myself tuning more often into the emo sounds that trace their roots back to the same time to which I trace my own.

I love it when I discover some excellent new emo band I’ve never heard before, and the reason I discovered them is because, hey, they’re playing here! That’s the story with Woolbright, who you can catch tonight at The Comm Room. This Floridian quartet just recently released a full-length entitled Busybody Lazybones on Whelmed Records (I dig that...
