NEW + EXCITING: Who Threw That - "Crickets"

Who Threw That - "Crickets"

(self-relased)

FFO - Cap'n Jazz, CSTVT, For Serious This Time. 

Here's a wonderful example of what I'm gonna call "joyful emo". These four tunes are constructed from twinkly alt-tuned guitar, always-shifting rhythms and controlled yelling. Many folks will be reminded of ALGERNON CADWALLADER without the over-the-top aspects. For me the closest relative is the underrated Long Island band FOR SERIOUS THIS TIME. 

I recently saw singer QUINTON TREMBATH's eponymous folk punk band and was blown away by his super-cozy vox and excellent attention to dynamics and flow. If anything these traits are more pronounced on this EP. 

Did I mention this band is from Tazmania? Quinton and friends are quite keyed-in to the Hobart (main city on the island) DIY community and hopefully will make it over to the US at some point.
