BAND WE LIKE: SUNDAY (1994) ((dream pop))
((Roommates)) Band Profile and Upcoming New York City Concerts - Oh My Rockness
Roommates
Ho-hum, this is just another super solid band on the Slumberland Records roster (Frankie Rose, Terry Malts, Veronica Falls just to name a few of their most recent releases). Geez Slumberland, give some other labels a chance to compete at least, will you?
Canada's Roommates are a duo comprised of Ben Cook (Fucked Up) and Mark Fosco (Marvelous Darlings). If you like boisterously jangly power-pop, this just might be the new band for you and/or your loved ones.
Think of Roommates as maybe Japandroids meets Eric’s Trip meets Superchunk meets a lot of the bands on that classic Rhino box set, Poptopia! 70's Power Pop Classics
. Do those comparisons help lead you down the right path when it comes to Roommates? I sure hope so, because that's why I'm here. Help ME help YOU.
So anyway, you should get into this band, because it's always nice to get into a band that likes to experiment with making musical happiness. Oh yeah, I almost forgot; Roommates are a really good band to get yer drink on to. Maybe I just should have started and ended this (drunken) profile with that fact. Oh well. Live and learn, guys. Live and learn. Bottoms up.
