If It's Too Loud...

The Martha's Vineyard Ferries are the indie rock supergroup consisting of Chris Brokaw (Come, The Lemonheads, Thurston Moore, Consonant), Bob Weston (Mission of Burma, Shellac, Volcano Suns), and Elisha Weisner (Kahoots). Their previous single, "Betty Ford James," was a less than a minute long sprint of the best pop based indie rock has to offer. Their latest single, "Jail Material" (the title of which is also a line in "Betty Ford James"), is an epic in comparison. At just under three minutes, it starts off like an indie power ballad until the drums and guitar fully kick in like a sledgehammer inside of your brain. It's a huge rock song, and has us even more excited for the upcoming album! You can watch the video for "Jail Material" below. Suns Out Guns Out  will be out February 26. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp . 

As we prepare ourselves for Friday's release of a brand new solo album from Chris Brokaw, it turns out one of his many projects also has new music! The Martha's Vineyard Ferries, Brokaw's band with Bob Weston (Shellac, Mission of Burma) and Elisha Weisner, has a new song, "Betty Ford James." The song itself comes in at just less than a minute, but that's all they needed. It's a fuzzed out indie rocker that definitely does not overstay its welcome and obviously leaves you wanting more. It's probably a little less experimental sounding than you would expect from the band's members and a little less punk considering the short length. In fact, it's almost a pop song, but obviously no one involved would ever allow that to happen. You can watch the video for "Betty Ford James" below. Suns Out Guns Out , the upcoming album from The Martha's Vineyard Ferries, will be out February 26. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp .
