 | | |  | | | | | | | | | Read my write up of last night's Austin stop of the Make Do And Mend tour with Diamond Youth here.
Yelling out lyrics like “I’m finding new ways to burn” during “Disassemble” and being able to hear one of my favorite lines of last blasted in my ears as Carroll yelled, “You can click your heels until you wear holes in the floor / And realize that no place feels like home anymore” on the penultimate “Stay In The Sun”…these are moments you don’t forget. This is why live music is so incredible. This is why you need to see this band live, as it makes you appreciate their records even more – if you can even believe that. | | | Ryan Gardner on 06/05/13 - 07:11 AM | 0 Replies - | |  | |  |

| | | | | | | | | | | | Make Do And Mend released one of our favorite records last year, so we're stoked to announce the band's upcoming co-headlining tour with Cheap Girls this May. The two bands will be directly supported by Diamond Youth, making it one of the must-see tours of 2013. You can see all the tour dates and venues in the replies and stay tuned to the site for ticket information. | | | Drew Beringer on 04/03/13 - 11:57 AM | 42 Replies - | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | Today we're bringing you a stream of Cheap Girls' third full length, and their first one for Rise Records, Giant Orange on their AP.net profile. The album was produced by Tom Gabel of Against Me!, who describes the band as an authentic Midwestern punk-rock band similar to the likes of The Replacements and Smoking Popes. If you consider yourself a fan of either of those bands but have yet to listen to Cheap Girls' catchy tunes, please take a moment to do so now. This is one of the first records of its kind that has been able to hold my attention in quite a while -- it's just the perfect blend of punk-rock and power-pop. Enjoy. | | | Lueda Alia on 02/20/12 - 01:09 PM | 35 Replies - | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | Paper & Plastick will release Cheap Girls' sophomore effort, My Roaring 20's, this Friday; however, if you want to hear what these relatively lower-fi indie rockers have to offer right this instant, check out the exclusive stream of all ten tracks on the band's AP.net Profile. Our own Rich Duncan calls the band "a breath of fresh air and a welcome listen to those who loved the raw and sloppy tendencies of 90’s indie and alternative." | | | Garett Press on 10/07/09 - 01:57 PM | 9 Replies - | | | | |
