"A friend of mine from Georgia, Davy over at Ohm Park, sent a local Atlanta band my way that he thoroughly enjoys. It’s always a treat receiving a new and unheard of album from a trusted confidant, much preferred over the hit and (often times) miss approach some of you crazy publicists utilize. The band is called This Piano Plays Itself and have made a name for themselves around Atlanta with their stellar live performances, something definitely believable considering their big sound.
The Georgian quintet have a guitar-driven shoegaze sound that reminds me of Explosions In The Sky or Slint, with billowing movements and more layers than Trident’s latest marketing gimmick. I’m not sure if you’ve got a set of superb speakers or rock out your tunes on ear buds, but “Who We Were” jams out like something epic on a stellar set of headphones. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to experience This Piano Plays Itself in person soon." - I Guess I'm Floating

The Summer Pledge was made on December 21st, 2007 in Detroit, MI. We've grown, evolved, transformed and transfigured. We play music that pushes and moves us in a positive direction and we hope that it has the same effect on others. We fully embrace the DIY mentality and a solid work-ethic, believing that all of our visions will become reality with enough drive, hard work, tenacity and patience.

"When you really dig independent music, whether as a fan or a blogger, there’s almost no better feeling than stumbling upon a promising young band that no one’s ever heard of… especially when that band is as talented and exciting as New Animal. Just two dudes from Atlanta, Kris Hermstad and Derek Burdette have labored over 15 tracks and 75 minutes of music in styles ranging from bedroom pop to exp. psych pop to anthemic kraut rock. The more the merrier — they don’t fit some simple category, no “RIYL” recommendations abound. Seemingly from the heart, or from the mind, or from the gut, but at least from somewhere within. They don’t cop someone else’s sound and fuzz the hell out of it to mask their theft. They aren’t hopping on the latest genre bandwagon. Listen for yourselves!" - I Guess I'm Floating

"So how about this? A band named Saskatchewan, from Florida. True story.
Stream their catchy little song “Dreamboat” below … according to The405, “the Florida quintet’s brand of sweet, subtle indie-pop is equally as appealing as any human dreamboat could hope to be”." - New Music Michael
