Chalk Talk - Bad Influences EP

Chalk Talk are at present an Amherst, MA indie rock band but I am giving them a pass and reviewing their EP because it's awesome, it was recorded in Glastonbury, CT., and 2 of the 3 members of the band are from CT. Not to mention they just played a release show in Woodbury, CT with the likes of The Guru and High Pop. Regardless this EP is packed with garage pop/rock goodness!

Hip Hip Hooray for High Pop!

High Pop have returned with a full length LP of fuzzy pop goodness! It almost came out of nowhere! In early summer High Pop submitted the track "I Like The Smell" to the CTIndie.com Summer Mix Tape: D60, and since it wasn't from a prior release, we suspected it might be from an upcoming release. Well, our suspicion was answered with: "Hip Hip Hooray"
