[READ MORE]INDIE BAND OF THE WEEK: SPENCE
Spence first got on our radar a little over a year ago when we realized they were personally out and about pounding the pavement and getting people excited about their music and brand.

They were good at making sure that people that were remotely close to their venues were aware of their tour and personally invited them to come out. They reminded us over and over again where they were, and made sure that we were there to hang with them and have a drink. Dedication and persistence.

[READ MORE]ALBUM REVIEW: PHINEHAS - THE BRIDGE BETWEEN
Phinehas' latest EP The Bridge Between features an interesting mix of rearranged works from their previous albums and a couple new tracks. Some of these are pretty great, like the heavily thrashed out “Panhammer” (originally from 2009's The Phinehas EP) while others are somewhat puzzling, such as the acoustic version of “A Pattern in Pain” (which debuted on 2011's thegodmachine album) or just plain bad *cough* “Enkindler” *cough*
