We Are Country Mice // Ballad Of John
We Are Country Mice were the talk of CMJ, even drawing comparisons to Wilco. Pitchfork was quoted as saying, “We Are Country Mice make music that sounds like Being There mashed up with a little Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.” The band is currently putting the finishing touches on a new 7″ on Mexican Summer. WACM is definitely a band on the rise.

I had the pleasure to check these guys out in downtown Chicago over the summer. The energy they brought to the beat and dirty old bar was electric. As an indie music fan it was one of those goosebump moments where it occurs to the whole audience…”holy shit, these guys are on the way up.”
Their sense of timing for such a new band was pretty impressive and, signer-guiarist, Jason Rueger’s use of distortion during the show whipped the audience into a frenzy was brilliant to watch.
I’m hoping these guys can make it out to the West Coast soon.
