New Music from Balkans

Perhaps I’ve already explained my excitement about 2011, primarily based on the fact that I’ve been hearing a lot of really exciting guitar-based bands kicking out the jams.  Yes, I know they’re have been some in the past, but it seems that we’ve spent a lot of time on electronica lately, so I’m pleased to introduce you to Balkans, an Atlanta four-piece.  They’ve got a great new 7″ coming our way on Double Phantom Records on Februrary 22nd, and the A-side is ridiculously  solid. It has a bit of that garage affectation, yet there’s more of a driving rhythm that steers it more towards a nice dirty pop bent. Just give it a go, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased.
