Canadian indie rock quartet Ladyhawk specializes in emotionally charged guitar rock reminiscent of the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., and Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Ladyhawk at it's core is bracing rock. Ladyhawk’s kiss-of-death evokes the devilish sounds of Goats Head Soup guitars, the honey-slides and howling of Neil Young in his darkest hours, and the phantoms that haunted Roky Erickson at the Holiday Inn.
It’s beyond fitting that Neva Dinova has found a new home at Saddle Creek.You May Already Be Dreaming, the band’s third full-length and first since 2005’s The Hate Yourself Change (Crank/Sidecho) is a lush, largely electric affair rich with the rural textures that pepper releases from the band’s Omaha contemporaries. Having been a staple in the scene since guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Jake Bellows and bassist Heath Koontz began collaborating in the early nineties, Neva Dinova (named after Bellows’ grandmother) have continually evolved their melancholic sound, making masterful use of counterbalanced melodies and poetic lyricism.
The Dead Jettsons are an energetic, three-piece rock band from Middlebury, Vermont. The intersection of three very different people from very different places (California, New Jersey, Tennessee) has given rise to a unique, sincere, and hard hitting sound that couples contemporary rock sensibilities with elements of 60's psychedelia. This spring has been an active one for the group, having seen the completion their debut EP "WHAT FUTURE?" (to be released May 2) and a 6-date tour of the northeast.
