I’m a big fan of a lot of Boston area bands like
Throwing Muses, Belly, Juliana Hatfield, etc. I’ve been following
Kristin Hersh for a while now, and she has a new project called
50 Foot Wave. They are incredible. Seriously.
50 Foot Wave is planning to release several small albums a year and tour a lot (50 to 100 dates a year). The name pretty much describes the sound. Its a three piece band rocking out at full throttle. You can download (MP3) their 6 song EP/album for only $6 from their
website.
Check them out, they are sooooo cool. I’m a big fan of the idea of independent music, and Kristin really represents that idea well. My favorite tune at the moment is
Clara Bow. For me right now, this is a serious contender for the best album of the year. (My other choice would be Incubus’s “A crow left of the murder” which is just rocks to no end.)
