Infinity Girl - Just Like Lovers


When my band was booking our first tour, we needed to find support for our first date in Lowell. I explored the Boston tag on bandcamp and in the process found a band called Infinity Girl. Though they couldn't play the show, I fell in love with their sound. Shoegaze is making somewhat of a resurgence and I think Infinity Girl does the sound so well. The vocals are dreamy/heavily 'verbed and the guitar leads are catchy and prominent. I don't really have any bands to compare this to that I think would make it clear what this sounds like. Think of a mixture of 80's jangly pop, modern shoegaze, and loud indie rock and I think you'll get the idea. I look forward to what they do next.

Burglary Years- Demo 2012

Burglary Years is a shoegaze/dream pop band from Boston. They share members with Cerce, I Kill Giants, Native Wildlife, and probably some other bands. They have something like 7 members live, I think, but no more than 3 people on any of the demo songs. They have a demo on bandcamp for free (or donation) and they're in the process of mixing a LP and a split with Procession.

They sound like a perfect mixture of The Smiths and dream pop and it's incredible. I think that this band is absolutely incredible and has the potential to blow up once they release more material. The singer's voice is gorgeous and Zach Weeks is unfairly good at music. Plus, they covered Bruce Springsteen. I cannot recommend this highly enough, especially if you like shoegaze, dream pop, The Smiths, or "indie" (whatever that means to you).
