If you are looking for some joyfully boisterous and indie rock then you need to look no further than Tallahassee, Florida’s Only Thieves and their EP Greetings From Levy Park, T.L.H.. The 5 songs on the EP are muddy yet melodic indie rock that is (depending on how drunk you are) more fun than fireworks at a 4th of July party. It’s a blend of smart and sassy wrapped up tight in a fuzzy and noisy aesthetic that actually reminds me a lot of hipster indie Chicago groups like Chin Up Chin Up and Bound Stems but with a bit more of a punk edge (think The Thermals vs. Pavement). You know, it’s fun music that’s frenetic without being frantic. On Greetings From Levy Park, T.L.H., I also hear shades of 90’s Northeast indie rock a la Dinosaur Jr., Juliana Hatfield, Buffalo Tom, etc… It’s a bit of a strange coming together of styles but it totally works. If there is any justice in the world, it is music like this that will make indie rock fun again.
