NEW "SONGS": Jupiter Watts

I went to see Jupiter Watts last Saturday after an entire day of free music (Record Store Day, 420Fest, etc.), and I must say that it was SO worth fighting off shear exhaustion to finally catch these guys live. I'm a huge fan of their music, but for some reason or another I hadn't been able to catch a show. They played some new material (that I've been told is still in it's primordial infancy), which sounded great & really different than their older material. You can check out said new material on their blog, here.

And, just in case you're not schooled in the music of Jupiter Watts, there are a couple of MP3s below.

ON REPEAT: Jupiter Watts / The Color Wheels

I really wish I had more time to go into more details about both of these amazing bands, but between being sick and now trying to play catch-up at work, this will be a slim post. But don't let that sway you from checking both of them out, these bands have been in HEAVY rotation around here lately, and for good reason...they're both undeniably excellent...and very catchy.
