The Izzys – Keep Your Powder Dry — Self Released, 2010

Digital release available for free off their website. But don't consider this a throw-away. This Brooklyn trio offers up free-wheelin' rock and roll songs that will feel good with a cold Busch in your hand and a breeze blowing your hair back. "Under The Sun" kicks things off with a shuffling backbeat and things only perk up from there. 'Lost On The Way" may have you crying in your beer by the time 2 AM rolls around. If Son Volt and Ryan Adams have a place in your collection, than The Izzys are also quite worthy of a prime piece of real estate too.

MG Ultra
Future Classic (2024)

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever. I wish I knew more about the meaning of a brush stroke or even had the desire to know more about the meaning of a brush stroke. I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
