Strand of Oaks Goshen’97 (Apr’14) is insistent, raw and emotive. Wailing guitars provide the intro and then it's more guitar galore, more rock than indie and more story-telling than big chorus indie pop. Think The Hold Steady, The Gaslight Anthem or The Airborne Toxic Event and The Boss most obviously.
Music for the top six inches not the six between your legs.
This missive is from the fourth album HEAL (June’14).
Showalter declares
himself “so into U2” and but there are a lot of folk influences in there too.
Other tunes worth a
crack are Shut In and Same Emotions.
