Watch A Video of Mail the Horse at Thing In The Spring - Allston Pudding

Brooklyn’s Mail The Horse are right at home in the acoustic setting. Much of what makes up their handful of releases are strummy tales that range from Sea Change era Beck to seventies alt-country gold.

Speedy Ortiz - Serious Business on BTR [ep133]

Since the last time Speedy Ortiz dropped by our studio, the band has played countless shows all around the country and landed on the radar of the music scene at large. That same charming, lo-fi grunge sound that made them endearing early on still applies, but now the pairing of Sadie Dupuis’ melodies with satisfying fuzz comes on like a confident juggernaut — not that there was any lack of confidence before. If you’re like us and have a serious soft spot for the likes of 90s greats such as Helium, Pavement, and Mazzy Star, Speedy Ortiz should already be your new favorite band.

Featured song: “Hitch”
