There's been a few detours around here into sunny happy music, some twee pop, even some old school rawk...but let's be honest, I love me some indie rock. The Boy Koan, because I work in a building with absolutely hideous firewalls and ridiculous limits on Google searches (you can't get to the second page of Google results in a CPS building. Really? How stupid that?), is a mystery to me. 3hive.com says they're from New York. not City. not state. but let's face it, if you throw down like they do, people will find you...
I especially dig the transition from the skronky squall of feedback that opens, to the acoustic riffing, and the closing grind of guitars that say "we rock. that's what we do..."

(thanks 3Hive.com - go visit them, they're great.)
The Beast From More Rustic Times is a rocker... and I was bashing Hagar in my early posts. I like the Red Rocker. I wore out my Three Lock Box tape by the end of 1988.
ReplyDeleteI meant "wasn't bashing" in my last post. Damn these blog comments. Hopefully I properly used the ellipses...
ReplyDeleteI knew you loved the Red Rocker. No need to explain to me, sir.
ReplyDeleteI thought the song was "Beasts from more rustic days"? Either way, its a great tune. ROCK.
