Upbeat Number from American Wrestlers

August 15, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This new track from American Wrestlers is great, but at the same time, I’m a bit perplexed. Vocally, there’s a nod to modern indie rock sounds, but the guitar work is straight-up jangling indiepop; I have no way to pigeonhole this band! I guess in the end, that’s a pretty great thing, as we can just focus on sitting back and enjoying this song. It’s the first listen we all have to their forthcoming album, Goodbye Terrible Youth, which will be released on November 4th via Fat Possum Records.

More From Film School

February 10, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

A few weeks ago we were given our first glimpse of new Film School, after a fairly long hiatus (in relative terms), and now, we have another brilliant song that makes me regret the fact that the band’s been quiet for so long…yet perhaps that’s why this is so good…it’s coming out naturally, rather than being forced out there. There’s this propulsive rhythm building within, similar to the grooves that Fujiya and Miyagi brought us a few years back, yet I also here this expansive bit of darkened pop building out of all that. They’ll be releasing their June EP this week, which means you need to pick it up.
