Van Dale

That crunchy 90's alt-rock vibe and sound is verily making its way into the aesthetic of a lot of younger indie bands of late, and i'm kind of torn on the whole thing.  For one, it's just another thing to make me feel old, as the stuff i grew up with is now a part of the current revival, but at the same time, it's a sound that i repeatedly go back to, so let's see where this thing goes.  Columbus trio Van Dale just nail the classic-Modest-Mouse-meets-classic-Weezer aesthetic for a batch of catchy, catchy tunes.  Listen to "Bed of Bricks" below and grab the band's self-titled album digitally here (name your price).
