Best Bets Return with The Hollow Husk of Feeling

What a great Friday! New I Was a King, and now we’re on board with new Best Bets, a band offering a similar yet distinctive brand of power-pop. If you crank this up, you’ll hear one difference (if you’re comparing and contrasting) in the volume; the New Zealand act are punching up with a slightly more aggressive bit of ripping. Still, you’ll likely hear some familiarity in the craft as Joe Sampson gets the songwriting credit this go round; you may know him from fellow New Zealand act Salad Boys, and that serves as a great reminder of his power pop pedigree. If all the tracks on the new album, The Hollow Husk of Feeling, are as solid as this one, we’re in for one of the best records of the year; it drops on September 27th via Meritorio Records.
