Me And My Drummer
I apologize for not picking up on this duo sooner. After hearing them off the recently released music video for their single, “Don’t Be So Hot,” I’m ready for a much heavier dose of Berlin’s Me And My Drummer.

Poor Remy
Raw and unbridled enthusiasm. You know why I like Poor Remy so much? Because I know I could join in and they wouldn’t miss a beat. These are singalongs for any late summer (autumn??) night. Still Sleeping EP by Poor Remy I want to be their friend. Poor Remy on Bandcamp
