On the Resurgence of Brooklyn Guitar Bands

by Lauren Beck

Page 5 of 5

The foursome approaches garage rock via their Texas roots, crossing vaguely Southern-fied nuances with The Mr. T Experience’s greatest hits so it twists into something not yet tirelessly rehashed in the new millennium. It's restless, fast and fun.

Catch all five bands live within the next few weeks. Swearin’ and Waxahatchee play 285 Kent as part of Indie Pop Prom on Thursday, February 28; The Men and Parquet Courts play Bowery Ballroom on Thursday, March 7; Marnie Stern plays Music Hall of Williamsburg on Thursday, April 11.
