Hey everyone!
It's Tuesday and you all know what that means, time for another edition of Artist Spotlight! This week, we're going to take a trip and head down to Harrisonburg, Virginia and check out the sounds of Hooking Up. The band consists of Phil Kim, Tommy Ryan, and Vincent Castellano. The band has a gritty, distorted garage rock quality to them, similar to the likes of The Strokes but taken to a whole different level with the sounds pretty much jumping all over the place and the vocals sounding like if they were recorded in a home studio versus a more polished recording studio that requires a budget. I was very impressed with these guys and what they were able to bring the table on this effort, which is definitely recommended for fans of this particular genre and for music listeners who need a little variety to add to their listening routine. My two favorite standout tracks from this release include "Heavy" and "Something Crazy".
