Beautiful, lilting country. Makes me think of hitchhiking in the 1950s, eating watermelon in the back of some dude's pick-up truck. I like the slide guitar, too.

A joyful explosion of indie joy. Happy is the new sad and harmonies are the new guitar solo. Lovely.

Short and sharp. There isn't much development to the idea, but the idea itself is capital.

An indie pop song, sure, but there are shades of Silversun Pickups-esque droning guitars on here that give it that little something extra. I've never been much of a fan of having the vocals mixed in low, but these guys really make it work.

This is fun and fantastically unselfconscious. Catchy melodies, interesting keyboard lines and a great groove on the drums. Some of the lyrics in the verses weren't my cup of tea, but they'd won me over by the time they got to that killer chorus.

The easiest thing to say would be that they're a darker and more interesting Living End. But that's perhaps unfair to both bands. These guys take rockabilly and run with it, going through some interesting territory on the way. Great performances and a quality recording, too.

A decent folkish sort of tune. I'm not a massive fan of the solo that comes in, but I like the vocals and the melody.

If this song were posted on Facebook I'd give it one of those thumbs up and it would say "Vijay Khurana likes this".

At first listen it may sound like an unthinking ball of raucous energy, but this tune has a musical complexity that guides it through indie, punk and metal genres. But it is also a ball of raucous energy.

Another solid tune from these guys. This one's a frantic rapid-fire jam which doesn't have the great groove of some of their other songs, but it's good to see MC Rival stretching his legs nonetheless.
