Jeanie Straub [email protected] This five-song debut EP released in May by Indie Rock band Instant Empire is instant enjoyment. It is truly a stellar achievement: The lyrics are outstanding on each hook-driven track, and, for having formed only last year, the band sounds truly gelled. The first members got together when vocalist Scotty Saunders posted […]

![Torch the Wagon – Let It Burn [LP]](http://www.coloradomusicbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/torchthewagon-150x150.jpg "Torch the Wagon – Let It Burn [LP]")
by Tim Wenger [email protected] Their bio on FaceBook claims that they aim to please, and that is exactly what Torch the Wagon does with their new record, Let It Burn. The ten songs display a solid base of grungy Alternative Rock, but defining lead guitar parts present themselves at just the right moments throughout the […]

by Jeanie Straub [email protected] Wonderlic is your typical yet not-so-typical groove-a-licious groove band from Denver; they have been jamming along the Front Range for more than five years, including the People’s Fair. The Fusion / Jam Band / Jazz lineup consists of an eight-string electric mandolin, guitar, drums and bass. These are original compositions with […]

by Steffanie Giesler [email protected] In the second release in a series of four, Eldren is following up their debut release with a four-song album that continues to test the boundaries as the band finds their sound. Eldren II continues to push the childlike sense of wonder as the album breaks out with a Pop radio […]

by Jeanie Straub [email protected] Free Radt is after a whole new sound with Love 101, although the band is still very much made by the vocals of singer/songwriter Katz Romero, who has a voice and ability like Grace Slick and can take on any female singer from PJ Harvey to Bjork to Debby Harry. These […]

by Sal Christ [email protected] After more than a year since the release of their first single, “I Was Thinking,” a full-length album from Colorado’s own Gauntlet Hair has finally emerged on the Dead Oceans label, and it was well worth the wait. A cool nine tracks, the eponymous record is a perfect fit for Colorado’s […]

by Jeanie Straub [email protected] It is forever difficult to follow true excellence with true excellence, but the two behind the Denver-based Alt-Rock band 28-200 (pronounced twenty eight to two hundred) have managed to make it look easy with Gunfire of Angels, the follow-up EP to their self-titled EP (2006) and their debut album, Video Games […]
The Magic Beans – Self-Titled Debut Album
by Guy Errickson www.thenakedstage.Net [email protected] Delirious, with fertile textures proliferating great subtleties, The Magic Beans are a psychedelic spring day traipsing through fractal-splashed daisy fields, an effect augmented through the lose-yourself light cage. Officially described as an Americana-bluegrass / electro-acoustic fusion, supplemental influences audibly range from R&B-esque funk, bouncy new-wave, even disco, to an electronica-live band amalgam – […]
Williams Ink – Williams Ink [LP]

by Jeanie Straub [email protected] Anyone that would enjoy an original blend of The Ramones, Guns and Roses, and Oasis thinks the debut from Denver-based Williams Ink is just terrific. Formed last year, Williams Ink is a four-piece power-Pop-Rock band that aims “to bring a Classic Rock feel to the modern scene.” Toward that end, Williams […]
