BATTLERAT (Minnesota):
"Battlerat have a certain sassy swagger to them. Celeste Heule’s vocals belong in one of those jazz club scenes in the movies, but they’re not. They’re sitting in the midst of a music-genre apocalypse. The five-piece thrives on bouncing rhythms on their piano-driven Spoils EP." Related acts: Sleeping in the Aviary, Kitty Rhombus
...A blend of country, punk and psychedelic...
"Negative Example describes their progressive rock sound as “DEVO meets the Allman Brothers.” Led by ex-Tar Babies singer & guitarist Bucky Pope, this new local super-group has an intelligently mellow jazz sound reminiscent of Steely Dan, Negative Example keyboardist Dave Adler’s tribute act. Drummer Greg Rillman (The Gomers) & classically trained bassist Calvin Thorne make up the rhythm section."
