Touch & Go

Everyone’s favorite indie rock band still going strong (well, not everyone’s, but…). Taking what they’ve done before, and taking it further. Staying strong to their sound and their style, and still together. That alone makes me smile. The guitar twang strum hinting at out of tune, the drawling but heartfelt vocals, the steady grin of the drums. Sometimes so light you could dance to it, sometimes going down into heavy rock you want to shake your hair at. Heavy rock with a wink and a nod. Sometimes the songs hang, almost waiting for the next hint of rhythm. Sometimes they just go for the throat. Still grinning.
