But it’s worth the wait! They are looking for a new drummer, so hook ‘em up!

When we last saw the Blastroanuts, it was two guys.  It appears their numbers have since doubled. Be sure to check out their larger configuration this tuesday at Harper’s Ferry, as well as their live appearance on WERS that same day.

Further proof that Brooklyn has more amazing bands than should be allowable by law, Action Painters brings along some of the catchiest tunes we’ve heard in a while.  You would forgive them for overproducing the hell out of them, but they show their further good judgement by keeping it stripped down to the basics.

Song list:

1. How Could it Be So Wrong
2. Sooner or Later
3. A Moment’s Peace
4. Easy 2 Pretend
5. Supermarket
6. We Don’t Need to Live Like This
7. Never Say I’m Sorry
