Wednesday Music Break: Team Smile and Nod
I got an email from this band, Team Smile and Nod, who thought I might like their music since I'd posted Athens Boys Choir before. Turns out they were right! Here is how they described themselves:
We are a lesbian-fronted electro anti-folk duo from Columbus, Ohio. Our tunes touch on a lot of what you write about...feminism, LGBTQ issues, politics, vegetarianism (food politics).
Definitely up my alley. You can listen to their tunes at their website, or on their myspace page. Here's what one reviewer had to say about their music:
"With 20 tracks, it (debut CD) blasts through themes of homophobia, vegetarianism, and consumerism like a smoking chunk of political dynamite. Some of her lyrics make hardcore statements and others teem with dark humor, but all are designed to provoke discussion." -Alexandra Kelley, Columbus Underground
Also after the jump an acoustic video version of "Truth and Fact."
