Henrietta Stream Acoustic Rendition Album

Last August, Henrietta released The Trick Is Not Minding, a fantastic indie-emo record that received a 9/10 from our very own Drew Caruso. Given the record’s occasional somber qualities, it makes sense that Henrietta would decide to reimagine some of those songs into acoustic tracks. While it doesn’t include every track, The Trick Is Reimagined […]

Blind Mice Share New Track, “Nervous”

About a month back, we were given our first taste of Blind Mice’s upcoming EP, Sunday Songs, in the form of a raw, punk-inspired jam titled “Fifteen.” Since then, we’ve been eagerly awaiting more new material from the budding New Bedford quartet, and earlier this morning, our prayers were answered thanks to the good people […]

Blind Mice Share New Single, “Fifteen”

Blind Mice are streaming their newest single, “Fifteen,” over at Absolutepunk, and this is one jam that you won’t want to miss out on. Taken from their forthcoming EP, Sunday Songs, the foursome’s latest effort is a bold blend of pop-rock influences that deserves to be blasted at high volumes, and could easily be mistaken […]

Featuring a more mature and natural sound than that of their modern-day counterparts, Light […]

REVIEW: Henrietta – ‘The Trick Is Not Minding’

Artist: Henrietta Album: The Trick is Not Minding Genre: Alternative/Emo Label: Animal Style Henrietta took me by a complete and utter surprise. Maybe I didn’t have my head in the right place, or maybe it was because I wasn’t looking hard enough. Either way, the time it took for Henrietta to make it to my […]

UTG PREMIERE: Henrietta – “Leave It Alone”

You have to love what Henrietta‘s swinging. The Orlando quartet push a great brand of emo-tinged rock with mathy elements, a friendly formula for fans of Braid, Balance & Composure, The American Scene or even Minus The Bear. The sound’s perfectly unrefined, just as it should be – bleeding with raw urgency while offering great […]
