The 90’s are back!… in Akron, Ohio. Forget the DeLorean, Drummer’s sound will take you back two full decades and leave you asking: What the hell is an iPod and why won’t it play my Guns N’ Roses tape?

Drummer was initiated by the Black Keys’ drummer Patrick Carney. In total the band is made up of  five members (Gregory Boyd, Steve Clements, Jon Finley and Jamie Stillman). There are zero gimmicks associated with this music. Why is that? This music is good enough that it will promote itself. I have only heard the six tracks made available via Myspace and the Audio Eagle Records‘ site and each one could hold its own as a single. The debut record: “Feel Good Together” is set to release on 9/29/09. LOOK OUT FOR THIS RELEASE and give Drummer a listen, you’ll feel better; I promise.

Other Girls is four grown men’s last chance to not grow up. These men have made some serious sacrifices to keep music a part of their lives. With two of the band members expecting children, one band member working full-time as a plumber and one member working over-time as a carpenter it must have taken some serious multi-tasking and determination to get this project off the ground. The band recently released their debut album ‘Perfect cities’ in June through Audio Eagle Records and is currently touring in support of the release.

It is a lame comparison, but I think you’ll agree with me when I note that I hear: Band of Horses and The Shins in this music. Regardless of comparisons, this music is inspiring, and even if you aren’t into polygamy it’s time to start thinking about including Other Girls in your life.
