SAN FRANCISCO - KEEP IT FRESH AND ONLY


For a city that destroyed its oceanic view by building a Nazi super-prison of rock and iron right in the middle of its panorama, San Francisco's a pretty OK town. It's always a hotbed of some kind of counterculture, a place that comes with a thousand recommendations, and a seemingly endless stream of great bands.

The Fresh & Onlys

have a name that makes you think they know a lot about music--but in a good way, not a miserable Canadian way. And their sound is instantly familiar, as though they were some lost 60s psych band your mom listened to back in the day and somehow embedded into your DNA. They've released on John Dwyer's

Castle Face

label already and have LPs coming out on

Woodsist

and

In The Red

pretty soon. You will want to have it.
