The Happy Hollows - Imaginary EP

The Happy Hollows are a indie rock/experimental band from California with a sound like a tornado of tunes. The grungy guitar melds with the constant crashing of the high hat and gives you a sense that everything is chaotic and the roof just might fall on your head. Lead singer Sarah Negahdari has a scream that can be compared to the infamous screams of Yeah Yeah Yeahs leading lady Karen O, and she lets it loose in the song "Tambourine." The songs "Labyrinth" and "Big Bad Wolf" almost have an eighties vibe that is highly reminescent of Athens rockers, the B-52's. While they are still categorized as rock their new stuff is almost too experimental and probably caters to a smaller and more specific audience. So check it out for yourself and see if you love or hate it.

For fans of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Grates, Monsters are Waiting, Pretty Girls Make Graves

Great site! I like how you've broken down each new group by why you like them and who they sound like and if you like "x" then you'll like them. That's the perfect way to go about it. Being a music enthusist makes you a perfect resource for this kind of feedback. Although these aren't my tastes in music- I definitely can recommend your blog to friends of minds who share a similar taste. Excellent work! LOVE the pictures.
