Ive got another unsigned band to pimp today, who came to my attention thanks to all the extra time I get to devote to music now that Im at WOXY. Age Rings are an outfit out of the Boston area that have a really great sound which combines lots of heavy guitars and percussion, but its not too much for those that are a little lo-fi inclined.

I think the band shows some strong Pavement influences throughout this disc as well. Which is not easy to do and many have done a poor job when attempting to conjour up Malkmus – like sounds. Age Rings however, have impressed not just myself but all of us at WOXY already and are getting alot of spins on the station as a result. That being said, you should give these two songs a spin yourself. Tell me what you think.

Also, some additional Age Rings goodies can be found by way of a Flophouse session they recorded recently.Thanks to Bradleys Almanac for the tip off on that one…..

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
