June 26, 2010: Gatsbys American Dream
















Artist: Gatsbys American Dream
Album: Volcano
Year: 2005

Gatsbys American Dream is a band that is remarkably tough to define. Alternative, progressive rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, experimental, indie pop - pick what you want. This album, however, is just fantastic. "Theatre" is an incredible opener, and the album never relents after. Highlights include the romp "A Mind Of Metal And Wheels", the Lord of the Flies homage "Fable", the stellar "Shhhhhh! I'm Listening To Reason" and the catchy "The Giant's Drink". Highly, highly recommended, as this is a remarkably creative album that is incredibly catchy.
