New Sleeping Bag Jam

Ray and I are huge Sleeping Bag fans, so it’s always nice to see a band we’ve enjoyed for some time still going hard at it. They’ve just announce a new record, Wet, which will come out on August 11th. Guitar and vocals drive the song, with an extra riff echoing angularly in the far off distance. While I really like is that hook comes from the repeated “doin’ it alone” line during the chorus, rather than building up some sonic wall towards a climax; the band holds it steady throughout…so no cliche indie rocker here. Keep it up lads.

New Slacker Jam from Sleeping Bag

I sincerely doubt that the term “slacker” really applies to Sleeping Bag, and I’m sure they’d agree; however, you can’t help but see that unaffected approach to the lyrical delivery.  Still, the guitars are exactly what a lot of us look for, chugging along, somewhere between power-pop and garage rock.  This Indiana group just released their self-titled album, and it’s been a joy just going through these tracks one after another.  Somehow they have this personal affect over me, and it might be nostalgia, but I’m calling it just good tunes. Spin this, and be sure to support these guys if you like what you hear!
