Hayday - So Far, So Good, So What

get more info buy direct

Reel to Reel's newest release is a hot one. This Brooklyn-based band's debut album is years in the making and well worth the wait. While there has been a revolving cast of characters throughout the last half-decade, the one constant of Hayday has been Greg Wilson's unerring vision of no-nonsense isolated Americana rock and roll; his Southern sense of storytelling matched with his Midwestern pop sensibilities meet perfectly in a hot kitchen on the East River in Brooklyn where So Far, So Good, So What was recorded. Not as drunk as The Replacements and more sentimental than the Ramones, Hayday goes for broke every time they plug in-- the result is songs of loneliness and desperation played in a garage with the motor running. Throw in the production wits of Will Croxton (DT & the Shakes, Idle, The Royal Wylds) and you know at the very least you won't be bored. Teaming up with Wilson are Marah regulars David & Serge Bielanko and Kirk Henderson along with the indefatigable Brian Patterson on drums and guitar impresario Stephen Lewis. This is the group's first (but hopefully not last) LP. It's available in digital format only now on iTunes, CDBaby and most major download sites.

Laneview - Oklahoma USA

Laneview sadly broke up after 6 years, 77 shows and the worst van ever purchased. The final song in the “Believe in Stereo” song cycle is a cover of Ray Davies/Kinks classic “Oklahoma USA”. A mainstay of their live set, the song gives the band a chance to visit one of their faves and put their inimitable stamp on it.

{cq} - The 1%

get more info

“The 1%”- is about carving out a way of life separate from the larger, quite bizarre world in which we spend most of our time. It does not attempt to provide an alternative to Western-style democratic capitalism, but merely a simple reminder that life is fundamentally played out within the more intimate communities that we ourselves create. It is a Signal of Unending Joy: please drop out, tune in and join the 1% yourself.
