From their latest longplayer <em>You Know Who You Are</em>, my favorite NYC-based folk-rock band deliver a perfectly executed subway love song called "Rushing." I've been a fan for years and this is one of the best songs they've ever executed. Two decades in and they are still bursting with smart lyrics and gorgeous sing-along melodies! 10 new tracks available on Barsuk Records. Don't delay, buy/stream them all today!</p> </div> <section> </section> Wed, 04 May 2016 20:00:44 +0000 Dusty Wright 3411 at http://culturecatch.com
