Ola Podrida

If you're into so-called alternative rock/alt. country (not too keen on such labels, but what the heck...) you owe it to yourself to give this Brooklyn based outfit a good long listen. Their self-titled debut album was released for mass consumption last year and received more than a few praising reviews (and deservedly so). Their often soft-spoken mainly acoustic driven songs are a great reminder to us all that great music doesn't have to be revolutionary, nor loud - it's not about chasing after the next big thing or pushing a laptop to the max (all of which is not necessarily bad, I admit) but about writing music that matters. Give these tracks a listen, and don't be shy to tell me what YOU think.
