New London has arguably the best music scene in all of Connecticut. Even with places like the El n Gee and Bank St. Café closing the Wailing City still thrives.

Herff Jones - The Mercury Floor

This review of Herff Jones' The Mercury Floor, was submitted by guest columnist Maxx Hillery. Enjoy his review below:

Herff Jones has recently released their second EP, The Mercury Floor, whose radically eclectic offering makes it even more challenging to place them within the comfortable confines of a genre. I honestly couldn't figure out where to place this band, maybe the strange lo-fi lovechild of The Hush Sound and Andrew Bird? No, probably not. The female singers’ voice is reminiscent of Haley Williams’, but their style is not (at all), especially during the more hard-hitting songs that sport a sort of experimental punk-influence. Regardless, the harmonies of the two singers work so well that I could not care less what genre they happen to place themselves in, which, as mentioned in CTIndie’s review of their last EP, is ‘Alternative Rock?’

Flaming Lips 'Zaireeka' 4LP Live Spin @ The Telegraph on 4/27

I'm sure most of you have heard about The Flaming Lips record store day release, a vinyl pressing of their 1997 piecemeal epic "Zaireeka". The good folks down at The Telegraph had a listening party for it last weekend and they are doing it again this weekend! Four turntables playing 4 separate records of wacky psychedelic action is sure to stimulate even the most jaded of minds, so quit making excuses and GET TO THE TELEGRAPH!

Wrist Like This Cassette Review

Any band that Matt Potter is in I have to take a second look at. So when he came up to me at The Oasis Pub one night and was going on about this new band, Wrist Like This, I knew immediately that it was something I needed to listen to.

Andrew Carey and Jordan Harrelson get around. No, not that way. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Jordan is the front man of punks Chasing Trinity, plays drums for garage rockers Street People; he also played bass for indie kids The Cavemen Go. Together they are in the ska punk band The Hempsteadys.  They also make up half of New London rockers White Bronco.  Get a glimpse inside the minds of two of New London’s most talented musicians.
