Music: Mouthful of Bees
“. . . songs so raucous they sound like they’re on the verge of implosion . . . insanely catchy . . . a combination of the Beatles and the Stooges.” —Vita.mn
Heads bob and pulses quicken when MoB launches into the poppy, hooky, punchy, groovy indie pop that’s made them a local sensation. Much more than a buzz band, their sound balances joyful bounce, sugar-coated sting, and brain-lodging melody as they edge toward “next big thing” status.
Movie: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
