So, we can all agree on one thing: Pink Floyd is pretty sweet. What we cannot agree on pales in comparison to what we can, right? So let's all make out.

Now on to the important stuff -- a new review from Skyscraper!

THE COKE DARES
Feelin' Up CD – Essay / Reibenbach
It's nice to be able to cut loose once in awhile, to get
away from the family and kids and start a band. If
you've already done that, then the next logical step
is to start another. And another. The Coke Dares
(who moonlight as Jason Molina's backing band, the
Magnolia Electric Company) exist on the axis of the
Indiana indie rock circuit, circa Impossible Shapes
and John Wilkes Booze (sounding much more like the
latter than the former), and that's never a bad thing.
This particular brew is flush with a punk-gone-wrong
attitude that crosses over to some halfway decent
melodies. But it's all about r-r-rocking in the end, no
single member taking anything too seriously. In some
cases, that's when genius can spring from a heavily
cultivated mood. Intense stomps like the 22-second
"The Coke Dares Them Five" and "Nazi Rock" whip
up quite a frenzy when they hit, but Feelin' Up doesn't
amount to much more than a fun romp. Since that's
the intention in the first place, though, let me be the
first to say: Well done, sirs. (Grant Purdum)

Well done indeed (is what someone else might say).

BAM. See you in January.
