Random Finds

HSAH is having a bit of a myspace moment and finding odd, musical kinsmen...for want of a better word. Noisey punk bands like Bronx, Les savy fav, no age are taking the industry and grunge kids by storm. Can they peers carry this trend forward or do they die on their arse as copy cats and unoriginal? You decide as HSAH is loving the stale smell of beer.

Feel free to check out these guys for your ear bleeding pleasure. Don't you just love the hyperbole?

Baltimore seems to breed grunge, noise bands and Double Dagger (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=66653259) is no exception even if self described as Pop...oh the irony.

Pony Tail (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=16155773) are another band that hail from Baltimore (there must be something in the water) and describe themselves as pop. Sounding like a cross between the Yeah Yeah Yeah and deerhoof they do, actually, make tracks that could be described as pop. HSAH has mentioned Pony Tail is this group of bands because they veer of the good side of odd.

For a more magical sound that makes you want to melt away check out High Places (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=77468018)
