Für die Pavement und Sebadoh´s Fans (wie ich) empfehle ich eine neue Band aus New york, Bear Hands. Die klingen je nach Lieder manchmal Indie, manchmal Post Punk, manchmal Lo-Fi, oder Alternativ der 90er.
Hier ein Interview vom Kata Rokkar:
Bear Hands‘ Golden EP has been floating around the Brooklyn-indie scene for over a year now, so you might have already heard their unique brand of post-punk fuzz rock by now. If you haven’t, you’re missing out. The Golden EP is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Bear Hands‘ position as one of the most important acts of 2009 and beyond.
