Category: Song of the Day

"When Are You Going to Break My Heart" is our second Song of the Day from Morning Moth. The first, "Girl from Delaware," is one of our favorites, a track we click on over and over. Here at Reverb Raccoon, our unachievable goal is to tell a handful of people about some...

The hardest rock, metal, and punk that you will encounter charges out from the states of the former Soviet Union. But today we hear a softer voice of the region, with lyrics that have been read and admired for one hundred years. "Clarinets," by Ukrainian producer...

Here at Reverb Raccoon, we are amazed every day by the quality music that is being created in bedrooms, dorms, basements, and garages. "Waitin' to Find Out" by The Amplifier Fighters falls into the Great Song Recorded in a Basement category. It's a bit rough around...

"Pineapple Sticknpoke" by FreeThinker has a classic feel and sound that will be tattooed on your brain after the first listen. Or, in my case, after the first infinity listens. I've been blasting it over and over all afternoon, much to the chagrin of the cats....

"In the End" by The Coffin Fits will leave you scratching your head - or whatever body part it is you scratch in these situations - and asking, "What the heck is this?" We have surfy guitars, a blasting Hammond B-3ish organ, a shoegazey vocal, punky energy, and a...

Last night we had the pleasure of seeing Mike Herz at the Rockwood Music Hall in New York. Mike performed most songs with a band, and the show was recorded for a future live album. Our review of Mike's Overgrown album was one of our first posts way back in November,...
