Cool New (Old?) Band: King Tuff
I’ve been pretty vocal about my love of Happy Birthday’s self-titled debut album lately. Last week I was working at my internship for the company that handles Happy Birthday’s booking. They’re always listening to good tunes in the office, and something really, really good came on that I didn’t recognize. It was vintage grungy punk [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: School of Seven Bells and Maus Haus at Mercury Lounge
