Tasty Fruits: Pomegranates

Pomegranates are good for you. And so is the music sent forth by the Cincinnati based band that shares the fruits name. Set to release their sophomore album Everybody, Come Outside! April 14th on Lujo Records, they are currently on a month-long tour that will take them through the IA area the next couple of days before ending up in Austin for SXSW. Their first album Everything Is Alive grabbed the ear of many, including other bands like Islands and French Kicks who invited them on the road with them. Check out the single "Corriander" from the new album below. Sugary art-pop that is sweet to the ears. And be sure to check out their show whilst in the area.

2/23: Philly @ Kung Fu Necktie w/ Mercury Radio and Western Dresses
2/24: Arlington @ IOTA w/ Tereu Tereu
2/26: Fredericksburg @ The Third Floor

A New Fruit

As an Ohio native, it is always nice to receive an e-mail from a quality band from the state. Such a thing happened recently, when I got a message about Cincinnati's Pomegranates. They describe their brand of indie pop as "art pop" and since bands like Modest Mouse come to mind, that is probably pretty accurate.

Their new full length Everything Is Alive (Buy) just came out and you can check out the track "Thunder Meadow."
