#35: The Head and the Heart @ Forecastle [Original Post] I’d heard a song or two by Head and the Heart going into their show at Forecastle, but I’ll admit that I was really just seeing them because there wasn’t a lot of competition for their time slot at Forecastle. But just like what happens [...]

Bowling Green group Sleeper Agent just shared their own holiday treat with us: they put their 2010 debut album InterroBANG!? up for 99¢ download on Bandcamp I spent the past year loving their album Celabrasion, so here’s a chance for me (and you!) to cheaply double down on my fandom.

Sleeper Agent is the next great band out of Kentucky. Their debut album Celabrasion is honestly one of the best rock/pop albums I’ve heard all year. The record’s out now — enjoy the video before making to trip to the record store to snag a copy!

Sleeper Agent from Bowling Green are out on tour with their neighbors Cage the Elephant. After hearing this track, I know we need to bring them to Lexington for a great rock show. Seriously, fellow Kentuckians, if you aren’t proud of our state by now then I give up. MP3: Sleeper Agent – Get It [...]
