Midwest Coast

about this album

Check The Harlequins – Midwest Coast EP Seizure Chicken Blog, The Wizard, June 27, 2011 Cincy trio, The Harlequins, have put together a good vibes 6 song ep perfect for the summer. The EP has all the reverbed, garage jangle and melodic surf feel you could ask for. Now having played in bands before..and being a lunatic about music…lead singers do NOT need any ego boosting haha , but lead singer Michael Oliva’s vocals are what set this band apart. He is pretty rad and down to earth from digitally speaking with him so I think we are fine saying that. I tried to pin the vox down and, right or wrong, I hear shades of a happier/lighter version of Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen) more then anything else. We diggit! The Harlequins have been tipped by none other then Black Lips to be part of Vice’s tre excellente Noisy project so they have a bright enough you gotta wear shades future to be sure. We dig the EP and we are really excited for the upcoming 15 song LP due this fall that promises not only have the melodic goodness of Midwest Coast, but showcase the band’s rawer, less toes in the sand feel of their live shows. It is being recorded in a” brewery/dungeon” for maximum awesomenosity.. so really how can you go wrong? Get on this coop!
