Tuesday Tunes! Rock Mix I! Featuring- Sea Ray, Buckcherry, The Whigs, A Place To Bury Strangers, and Others

THE WHIGS

“A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.” Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde, thanks for the quote posted above!  I don’t question that Sea Ray, Buckcherry, The Whigs, and A Place To Bury Strangers have unique temperaments.

FEATURED ARTISTS AND SONGS

Sea Ray- “Nicholas Ray”  This song could be a child’s rock n’ roll bedtime music or a child’s bedtime nightmare!  Think “Cry Baby Cry” by the Beatles meets Deerhunter lead singer Brad James Cox side project Atlas Sound.   (Especially the excellent Atlas Sound song “River Card.”)

The Whigs- “All My Banks”  Last I read, The Whigs said they had never listened to The Replacements.  No matter, The Whigs play like The Mats proteges, and “All My Banks” carries the melodic punch one would expect from The Whigs unofficial Twin Cities mentors. 

A Place To Bury Strangers- “Another Step Away”  This band says that they are “the loudest band in New York.”  Well, they are loud in the alternative rock sense not the traditional heavy metal sense.  This track sounds like Helmet meets The Jesus and Mary Chain meets the Church. (If you don’t get that analogy, then the song just sounds cool and loud!) 

Buck Cherry- “Onset”  Warning to married men-  For better or worse, this song will remind you of your bachelor party!    This track is what you would expect from Buck Cherry, and if you enjoy music that sounds like AC/DC meets Guns N’ Roses then you will be glad to get what you expect from the band!
