If you love The Replacements and Wilco the way I do, you’ve got to check out the latest from Brooklyn-based band, The Damnwells. I’ve haven’t been through the whole disc yet because I keep getting caught on standouts “Golden Days” and “You Don’t Have to Like Me to Love Me”. If you don’t look into any other songs on the album, you must hit those two. Check out the full album stream linked below or hear “Golden Days” on our MySpace profile as Song of the Week.
As always, see our Release Calendar to see the week’s mentionable releases.
