Creative Loafing reviews Shepherds debut “Exit Youth”
Shepherds’ debut album, Exit Youth, takes shape as a beautifully mixed bag of sorts. The synth rock pastiche “Reverie” fades into the harsh sound collage of “Drudgery.” Sprinkled in amid these experimental pieces is a dose of Dinosaur Jr.-style guitar rock laced with touches of soul and R&B shining through in album highlights “Never Been” and “Brevity.” This eclectic mix finds common ground in guitarist and singer Jonathan Merenivitch’s jumbled approach to coherent story telling. The album’s theme: Realizing in your late 20s that, even though you have an artistic platform, youthful dreams of ditching your day job and pursuing your passion full time are revealing themselves as a cruel joke. Written over a three-year period, Exit Youth is about confronting economic and emotional recessions through healthy, creative means. ? ? ? ? ? READ MORE…

8 Inch Betsy’s new single “Grotesque” featured at PopMatters
Best known for an aggressive yet melodic style of punk rock similar to that of the Distillers, Chicago queercore band 8 Inch Betsy were on the cusp of a breakthrough thanks to a reputation as a terrific live band and the strong 2007 debut This Time, Last Time, Every Time. Although the follow-up The Mean Days was recorded over the course of several years since 2010, it was never quite completed, and sadly this past January singer/guitarist/songwriter Meghan Galbraith passed away at the age of 35. As a tribute to her, The Mean Days will finally be released posthumously by Knox Records on 13 November, and you can hear the new track “Grotesque” below, a song that was not only a departure from the band’s sound but was never supposed to be on the album in the first place.
On 21 March, 2008, bassist Eli Burke received an email from Galbraith that read, “This one was way fun. I found a vocal filter that makes me sound like a dude. Or dudes. Or robot dudes. Don’t ask what the song is about, I made most of it up on the spot.” LISTEN HERE…

Elmore Magazine reviews Saint Pé’s performances at CMJ 2015
Anyone who combines quick wit and slick guitar playing doesn’t need much more to win over a crowd. Especially if his name’s Ian Saint Pé. After roaming around the world and playing guitar on its stages for the last decade with the Black Lips, Saint Pé wanted a change. So he recruited a gaggle of Atlanta’s finest, each having cut their teeth in their own respective rock bands, hit the studio, then hit the road. After a 15 hour drive, the band took their first of three CMJ performances on Thursday, but shoddy sound at the venue didn’t allow for the band’s unique elements, particularly the harmonies, to shine through. However, the following night was a different story.
The crowd, now triple in size from the night before, enveloped the band as they beamed with confidence, only to be reassured by the reaction in front of them: moving, grooving, mosh pits and all. It was an obvious outcome with tracks like “Kiss It Goodbye” and “We Follow,” replete with their infectious guitar motifs and power-driven bass and drums. By the time the Nashville-tinged “Southern Living” rolled around with its ragtime-y piano workings, it was obvious the band was on another level. We were too. READ MORE…
