Asobi Seksu gets some attention from Crackers United.

We really love the Unsacred Hearts‘ recently released album, In Defense Of Fort Useless. And we’re not the only ones. Here’s what others have been saying:
The PhiLL(er):
The record notes the newish garage rock sound, but draws mostly from earlier punk and garage rock stylings. In other words, as compared to recently popular rock bands, guitars [...]

The Art Of Shooting recently added bassist Jessica Jurgens to their line-up.

According to their website, Oxford Collapse, who recently signed to Sub Pop, will soon be entering the studio to begin work on their next full-length album, tentatively scheduled for an October 24th release.

Their new full-length debut from Kanine Records, In Sunday Songs, shows that their skills have only ripened with time. [...]
