I guess we're in that building a buzz-stage with The Foetals right now.
The band, led by Jolan Lewis of Temple Songs and The Pink Teens, creates off-kilter pop music that is remarkably catchy and infectious. There's something wickedly awesome about everything this cat touches and his indie is as instantly recognizable as anything that Robert Pollard produces here in the U.S.A. and, like Bob, Lewis has both a sense of how to push boundaries and a good grasp of writing a killer hook.
Until there's a full-length album, follow The Foetals on their official Facebook page.
