A few weeks ago our friend Abbey at punk photo introduced us to Ring Ring by Sleigh Bells in-studio at East Village Radio and we instantly fell in love! We didn’t get a chance to write about the Brooklyn duo yet but when we tapped the Brooklyn blog Quiet Color for our monthly Guest Blogger Obsession feature, and Kevin of QC ironically selected Sleigh Bells. A true testament to the statement Great minds think alike.
If you like what you hear then make sure you check out Sleigh Bells and the other artists featured on Quiet Color’s Anti-CMJ Party at Market Hotel on October 23rd. More info on the flyer below!
