Nurses - Apples Acre

Don't confuse this with the 5 song EP. This is the second full length from Nurses. Nurses is a band on Sargent House Records (Native, Tera Melos, Maps & Atlases). Not much I can say, I blogged about their other LP. If you don't have it check out the earlier posts. It's there somewhere.

Haven't listened to it yet but I just found it and felt the need to share it with whoever visits. Both of their previous albums were great and I'm sure this won't disappoint. Be sure to buy this when it comes out! Really, don't be a prick, support bands.

The Moondoggies - Don't Be a Stranger

"The Moondoggies are a four-piece band from Seattle that plays timeless American music. Warm three-part harmonies, gothic Rhodes organ, and wanderlust guitar mark a sound rooted in boogie blues and cosmic country; whip-smart songwriting leads to hook-heavy tunes that bristle with originality."
Moondoggies are an underrated band, a band that plays heart wrenching blues and are the epitome of what bands SHOULD be like these days.

Standout tracks: Ain't no lord, Save my soul, night and day

The Mommyheads - The Mommyheads S/T

"The Mommyheads were an American indie pop band who played from around 1987 through 1998. Starting in New York City as the brainchild of singer Adam Cohen (name later changed to Adam Elk), the band produced a string of quirky and highly inventive releases on various independent labels - most notably Simple Machines."
The Mommyheads have reunited to release their 2008 album, "You're Not a Dream," Though their new release can't even begin to rival their older albums, though not often does the reuniting of a once good band result in something equally as good, I mean.. unless you're Mötley Crüe.

These United States - A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden

"These United States is the songs of Jesse Elliott, flipped, forged, phased, and fermented; stolen, re-taken, elongated and elevated, beaten and bruised, occasionally imbued, by an ever-battling band of music-mad robber-barons, enthused aesthetic thieves of the long and winding subway tunnels and underground railroads of our cacophonous nation."
A real folk/indie sounding band, one of my favorites though their newer stuff couldn't compare to A picture of The Three of Us.
