what im listening to right now: the beatings’ late season kids
whoa! where did these guys and one gal come from? let me answer my own question for ya. the beatings are from boston and late season kids is there sixth record, and third full length. im about half way through the 12 song lp and like the evening rig’s is doin stuff, this, at this juncture, is definitely one of the best rock records i have heard this year. where is doin stuff is heavy on the mats influence, late season kids heavily steeped in a lot of what was going on in mid-90’s indie rock and the likes of superchunk, sebadoh, polvo, new radiant storm kings, etc. reading this and knowing what you may already know about me, it should then come as no surprise that i dig these guys.
late season kids is available now on midriff records

Yeah, the Beatings kick butt. “LSK” is one of the most amazing releases of the last 2 years. They are on Midriff Records (Boston/NYC) label which has just blown up as of late. You MUST check out IAN ADAMS and Hands & Knees – all in my top records list of 2009
