STLMU blog pulls up it's big boy 'Britches' for it's 25th post!



Marty from the 'Britches' just sent over a five song EP, appropriately it's name is 'Demo' because more or less it is one. They were recently featured in the RFT's A-Z blog and joined local St. Louis label HiFiOctopi. So far, their listeners have described them as experimental/noise(y) rock. Also, their fans have said they sound similar to Liars, Deerhunter, HEALTH, No Age, Xiu Xiu. Some of the group's main influences include Pavement, This Heat, Suicide, Silver Apples, Brainiac, early Blonde Redhead & Tom Waits. The EP is available for free digital download below, as are their networks:
