Who? Touch Committee
Where are they from? San Francisco, CA
What do they sound like? Oh, now, here we go! This is what I remember indie rock sounding like…not the shit that gets passed off as such all the time now. Touch Committee are heavy on the guitar work and playful in all the right ways. Add in some endearing emo qualities…mainly in the dual vocals that bounce off one another with beautiful abandon (and precision), and you have a hearty recipe for success. Think Merge or Matador Records circa early to mid-nineties. I have been thoroughly addicted to the band’s debut of late. The album, entitled Winter Beard, is scheduled for release in the summer of ‘09.
