Add Date: January 11 

Artist: The Tins 

Album: The Tins (EP) 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Rock 

Comments: A very promising 5-song debut EP from Buffalo band The Tins, who mold post-punk, modern-day indie and some experimental rock into a sound somewhere along the lines of Wolf Parade or Maps & Atlases. Start with "The Green Room," which NME describes as "kick[ing] off with a modern-day Twilight Zone vibe that morphs into an extraordinarily moving seven-minute-long serenade." Also try "Backbone."
