New Bedford, Massachusetts’s The Diggers show incredible range on their self-titled debut album. From 16 plus minute epics to groove laden jams to I just can’t contain myself rockandrolla, The Diggers have something to prove with their left field way of thinking. Recorded by themselves in the depths of the Wamsutta Mill, The Diggers are finally taking their (mostly) instrumental madness to the masses. Influences include: Led Zeppelin, An Albatross, Neil Young, Pink Floyd.

cholo, from Brooklyn NY, mix, garage, jazz-punk and melodic pop creating indie rock that is earnest, fresh and provocative. Paolo DeGregorio from buzz band magazine The Deli describes them as “…the best post-Pixies band I’ve ever heard”. Felipe named the band in ode to his Peruvian roots but also from the identity crisis faced by first generation Latino-Americans. However, with members from Ireland, Guam, and exotic New Jersey, cholo pays tribute to the outsider perspective. In their sophomore release, UNLIMITED NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS, they are steps closer to authenticating a sound that will have people on the outside looking in.

- quiet/loud/repeat
Recorded with Sean Lynch at Muzzle Recording Co. in Olneyville, the tongue-firmly-in-cheek titled “quiet/loud/repeat” packs ten songs and assorted weird noises into just over 36 minutes. Think of a room of drunken fools trying to mix Crazy Horse with Mogwai and you’d be pretty close to describing it. More pop and less aggressive than their previous two releases. For fans of Built to Spill, Silkworm, Neil Young, Slint etc.
Suicide Bill and the Liquors – A Little Bit…. Burned?

- Halfway To Blue
- St. Joseph
- Way Out?
- Toothless Town
- Stage Fright
- ….Burned?
In 2008, Suicide Bill and The Liquors’ “A Little Bit….Burned?” is definitely worth five bucks. Never critically acclaimed, but often ashamed, the boys sometimes rock and sometimes acoustic through Bill’s best collection of songs. Think part 80’s Minneapolis, part 70’s stadium, and part modern-day-quiet-complaining. 16 growing older, hate the day-job, lonely, unsure anthems. A Suicidally Powerful Equation…..
