The Bear Quartet released their very first album "Penny century" way, way back in 1992. In reality, that's not really all that long ago, it's just that the band has evolved quite a bit in the interim 15 years. They also released 13 albums since then and even more EPs. So yeah, it's been quite a journey to say the least. You might've noticed that we've mostly been posting only newer BQ tracks so far in this weekly experiment thing we've got going and I'm not going to lie - I'm really not that fond of their early material. Or I guess I should say, it's not that I don't like it (I do), it's just that the band has gotten so so so much better over the years. Very few acts can say that, especially with such a vast discography behind them. After all, that's a big part of what makes The Bear Quartet so special. I also have no nostalgic attachment to the band's early work, having discovered them around the time of "Gay icon" (2001). So what am I getting at? Well, it's time we looked back at that first record and took a listen. Unsurprisingly, early BQ sounds a lot like other indierock of the era: Dinosaur Jr., my Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth and so on and so forth. Very contemporary for the early 90s, especially for a band from m/define.php?term=BFE" target=_blank>BFE (aka Luleå). Is it good? Yeah, I'd say so. It's very good for what it is and I know I'd rather listen to BQ than Pavement any day.

This week's Friday post belongs to Simon Tagestam:
Now with Shout Out Louds releasing new material this spring, I think it's time to indulge in some recent nostalgia for their past deeds. The first time I heard Shout Out Louds was when I saw one of their videos on mTV four-five years ago thinking it was horrible and that they were an 'indie' band manufactured by some major label. Then I kept on seeing the video and I reluctantly had to admit that I really liked it, hence me going out to buy their first EP "100° EP". "Very loud" is the best song on this EP, but the rest of the tracks are all very decent. I found the album "Howl how gaff gaff" rather disappointing and I wasn't too impressed that it featured every song from their first EP on it. I'm still excited about their second album despite that (judging by their myspace.com/shoutoutlouds" target=_blank>latest single) it sounds like Adam's 'quirky' singing style has become almost way too quirky.
Shout Out Louds - Very loud

Bummer news: Randy has been dropped by Burning Heart. Actually, it's not a huge surprise as the label has been through some rough times recently and I imagine those guys will do fine wherever they end up.
