I've been in overzealous lust with this band since January and they are getting a lot of love stateside these days. Here's the video for their latest single, I Don't Want To See You Like This.
It's fall, and time to break out the flannel, switch it up to whiskey, and get intense. Well, maybe not just yet since it was 80 degrees yesterday and people were totally rocking shorts and flip flops at the Asher Roth show I was at last night (don't ask) but you get the idea. And no band, in my opinion, is more appropriate for sweater weather than my recent obsession - Tidal Arms.
I fell in love with Tidal Arms a few months ago when they played night two of Miracles of Modern Science's residency at Cake Shop (which I also presented). I was sitting in the back "djing"/eating a taco from San Loco and as soon as they started playing I turned to my friend and was like "I really like this." After a minute or two, we both were basically freaking out about how fucking good they were. NYC Taper was there, and felt the exact same way - he even used the words "kick ass," a very appropriate descriptor. Their music is heavy without sacrificing any intricacies, pretty much the musical equivalent of the perfect storm.
Best part - they are playing TONIGHT at Union Hall alongside Bird Love and James the Miserable. 8pm. Get all the show info HERE.
MP3s are posted for sampling purposes ONLY. I do not post entire albums and STRONGLY ENCOURAGE everyone who reads this blog to pursue the bands you discover here and fall as madly in love with them as I am. That being said, if any label/company/whathaveyou would like any of the files here to be removed, PLEASE email me and I will personally do so myself without haste. Thanks!
