Twin Peaks – Wild Onion
on July 30, 2014
It should be noted, and usually is, that the Chicagoland foursome Twin Peaks’ sound has nothing to do with David Lynch’s eerie ’90s cult-classic. What’s more telling is the band chose the name because it “sounded cool.” Singer and guitarist Cadien Lake James, drummer Connor Brodner, guitarist Clay Frankel, and bassist Jack Dolan are childhood […]

Street Eaters – Blood::Muscles::Bones
on June 23, 2014
Street Eaters aren’t playing nice with their confrontational second full-length Blood::Muscles::Bones.
