Sometimes you get sick of pop. Actually, most of the time I’m sick of pop, come to think of it.  Not “sometimes”. I don’t even know why I would start this post with that opening statement.  Anyway, we spend days searching for an artist who’s songs can consistently remind us that great music is an art, not a marketing company. Fortunately for A&SB, we found San Francisco’s Sholi this week and they did just that.  Their self-titled debut fuses the musical elements of early Radiohead & the musicianship of Kiss Kiss to create a completely unique sound. Check out the track “Tourniquet” below and let us know what you think.

Sholi – “Tourniquet” (mp3)

Let’s just say I adore this band. Kiss Kiss took a few months off to let Josh’s throat recover from some sort problem (probably from s’ing ds!! get it?? asdlkjfhhlsjkdaf).
