A TASTE OF WHAT'S IN STORE IN PRINT & ONLINE >>>
Like a Fed-Exed fruitcake from Aunt Charlene or a Wesley Snipes prison sentence, this week's Volcano music section is going to hit you like a ton of proverbial bricks.
Here's what to be on the lookout for:
Over the years, The Fucking Eagles have worked hard to make a name for themselves, not only in the supremely ubiquitous genre of garage rock, but in a city like Tacoma - where garage rock bands seem to fall from trees. - Rev. Adam McKinney
From Gran Turismo 5 ... feel free to tune out Jeff Gordon
Inspired by greats like the Softies, the Field Mice and Beat Happening, Seattle trio Seapony's confectionary lo-fi pop has already caught the attention of DJs and bloggers nationwide, despite the band's relative infancy. - Jason Baxter
BETTER LIVING THROUGH MUSIC: Roy, Goldie Wilson, Kenseth Thibideau, Tacoma Gets Smashed
ROY
Ben Verellen makes music the way he makes amps - big, sturdy and with an ability to get really loud. - Matt Driscoll
GOLDIE WILSON
Goldie Wilson is a band that is in the business of making super clean, sunny, AM radio pop. - Rev. AM
KENSETH THIBIDEAU
Utilizing minimalist tendencies, a few pop sensibilities, a subtle wash of reverb and a guiding bassline that achieves a chill-factor reminiscent of completely on-point soundtrack work - making for an atmospheric vibe perfect for late-night driving - the solo Kenseth Thibideau is an artist and composer not to take lightly. - MD
