Top five local tracks

Booji Boys, “I Dream of Booji”

I also try not to hate but I hate anyway, Booji Boys really gets me. This is my dream band of 2008 but from 2016.

<a href="http://centuryegg.bandcamp.com/album/mountain-god" target="_blank">Mountain God 山神仙 by Century Egg</a>

Century Egg, “Two Minutes”

That high note! Getting shivers just thinking about it, really. Great song, perfect band. Everyone is too good, it hurts me.

<a href="http://fakebuildings.bandcamp.com/album/wet-salt" target="_blank">Wet Salt by Fake Buildings</a>

Fake Buildings, “Darius Rucker is Dead”

Some of these songs might be old, but the band is new. This was the first Fake Buildings song I heard and I laughed and jumped. Basically I’m not sure where or when this all came from but it floored me and I still haven’t been able to get back up.

Dust, “Schope’s Eyes”

Really, really my tempo. This song is all I can find online from this wonderful band and I probably look once a week. Dust, please save me and make an album.

<a href="http://secrettemporaryurl.bandcamp.com/album/demo" target="_blank">demo by Cutie</a>

Cutie, “Hermit Crab”

Brand newies from these brand newies. The demo has lots of power and catharsis and feels good at top volume.
