The Wind-Ups (members of Terry Malts, Neutrals, Smokescreens) debut LP, Try Not To Think, is a lo-fi punk rock 'n' roll burst. It might quickly remind you of The Saints, The Ramones or The Spits. But listen a little longer and you're certain to pick up on an unabashed power pop backbone, one that sources influence from the Modern Lovers, Paul Collins' Beat, The Shoes, so on and so forth.
“Yea-Ming & the Rumours’ songs are instantly captivating, memorable and endure over the long haul of time. Her skillful compositions are steeped in classic pop Brill Building structures and echoey atmospherics that would also be right at home in a Bakersfield honky-tonk with their distinctive steel guitar embellishments. The Rumours’ twangy guitars and amps are aligned to project a perfect timeless tone while her lovely lantern light vocals guide the way under Western skies. In their own distinctive and competent way, they have shaped and sustained an endearingly sincere and jangly folk-pop-country sound. Overall, their enchanting songs turn corners with attention paid to arrangements complete with unexpected bridges which effortlessly connect the songs to new realms.” - Turning the Tide
