Stagecoach are a group of lads from Surrey with a love of Shins, Ryan Adams and Wilco and they do a fine job on the EP “School Day” – It’s a cool group of tunes that also follow a theme with a distinct jangle and energy – don’t miss “Come Find Me in the Library.” The sound and mixing is superior to most bands out there. I predict great things for these guys, as they sound excellent. A great debut — let’s hear more! You can also see the video here!

The Janglemen certainly live up to their name and the album “Tearjerker and 9 others” offers listeners classic Roger McGuinn Rickenbacker guitar strum and catchy melody. You can’t get more “jangle” than this. Fans of Jamie Hoover, Bobby Sutliff, and even early Elvis Costello will enjoy this. The vocals are loose and the band has a punk swagger, so this is not a tribute band, but something different. “New and Different Ways” is a autobiographical track that even includes a dog bark in the chorus! If you ever wanted to hear a mix of Paul Westerberg and The Monkees – pick this one up!

The Romeros are a classic rock n’ roll band, that models itself after The Flaming Groovies and The Ramones. The sonic assault is catchy, especially on “Tonight” with scratchy vocals by Mike Vanderbilt. They have played at IPO Chicago last year and made a really good impression. These guys have a good start, but need some polishing before they really hit it big. Get the EP “Cooler than your Boyfriend” and crank it up at your next backyard party.
