Check out the bands: maygemini, J. Flax & the Heart Attacks, The Wayward Leaves

J. Flax & the Heart Attacks show off a surf-indebted sound that lands closer to upbeat, catchy postpunk than anything else, even despite its tendencies toward surf beats and Dick Dale-style flurries of guitar notes. The result is a modern take on surf music that is every bit as fun as the original music it was inspired by, while also bringing an original approach that keeps things fresh. The Wayward Leaves bring together local solo indie-pop artist Ross Wright and veteran guitar-slinger Curtis Patton (River City High, David Shultz and the Skyline) for a set of moody, emotionally-driven songs bringing to mind classic Southern guitar pop bands like The Jayhawks and the Old 97s.
