up and comers- midwest beat

so its no surprise that i'm a fan of jangly garage pop.  and i'm always a sucker for more of it.....and i'm pleasantly surprised when i run across a band that does it so well, that i can't believe i haven't heard of them yet........

MIDWEST BEAT is a power popped mix of the zombies, the kinks, the byrds and of course big star....... catchy hooks and analog production.......  put them next to the peoples temple and the night beats in the wave of jangle psych garage bands that actually write good songs instead of hiding behind reverb, feedback and the much loved label of lo-fi........   dusty medical records has done a good job forcing MIDWEST BEAT upon the world......


so click here to grab MIDWEST BEAT's s/t 2x7 inch from 2008......and go buy their new lp "gone not lost" out this summer on dusty medical (which is a label you all should check out)..........  

midwest beat is my sunny sunday afternoon jam........

watch/listen below.......
