NEAR BEER Los Angeles, California
An indie rock band from Los Angeles.
Their old guitarist forced them to be called NEAR BEER. He
thought it a proper slacker dad rock band name. He was the only dad. And left to do dad stuff. The band got louder and faster. But the name stuck.
Guitars for days, in 3 minute bursts.
Mini-anthems about insomnia, drinking, human connection.
Pavement. Petty. Neil. Bruce. GBV. The Mats. The Clash.

When The Wind Forgets Your Name

Sure, maybe my ears are ruined by the loudness wars, but it's hard to believe that this mix is the sound anyone was looking for. Every element sounds buried and distant to me, which is a shame since the songs are top-notch. Let's have a 13-month anniversary remix, eh?

Wilco being Wilco. Nothin' new here, but when a band has been in the busineess for decades and releases a 21 track album and most of them are really good, it's one of the greatest.

Disaster Preparedness Coloring Book

Raw and hooky as heck, “Disaster Preparedness Coloring Book” is all classic, ragged indie sonics and rock-solid melodies.

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it!
