COOLRUNNINGS: Babes Forever

While checking out Walsh's Smoke Weed About It last week, I discovered COOLRUNNINGS, who have also made their music available for free download on draculahorse.com. There are two EPs available, Buffalo and Babes Forever, the second of which I'm particularly enjoying at the moment.

The record is saturated with buxom rhythms that tremor through the body, initially feeling like the very best of music that you listen to for the pure sound of the thing. When the voice emerges, however, the lyrics are incisive and poetic, and seem to have originated in the same heart as the pulse.

In an interview for metropulse.com, Brandon Biondo has attributed the band's success to the face that they allow their music to be downloaded for free, and said of the music industry, "it’s not really that important anymore, and it’s awesome that now it’s all in the hands of the people who are actually really into music,” with which I wholeheartedly agree.

The band will be playing a run of shows this autumn with Millionyoung and Sunglasses.
