Tracks: The 757′s, and Maudlin
(Tracks is a weekly (or bi-weekly) feature on Borangutan that showcases local artists and their recent album. Many local artists generously donate their music to Borangutan writers, and part of our mission is to take that music and place it in your ears. Voila! Each feature offers a free, limited-time mp3 download (one track) from the highlighted artist’s album, and links to where you can listen to or purchase more.)
Freeway Surrender: The 757′s
In many ways, The 757′s embody what Minneapolis rock music is all about. Stripped bare, no bullshit rock and roll, born in the blue collar bars that dominate our streets and communities. The 757′s have been featured on My Old Kentucky Blog, the 89.3 The Current Live show, and numerous other local periodicals both on and offline.
You can connect with the band through their website, or become their friend on either Myspace or Facebook. Pick up a copy of Freeway Surrender via www.the757s.com or on iTunes, and catch The 757′s at the Uptown Bar on August 22.

“Teenage Logic” by: The 757′s
…and The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Maudlin
…and The Second Law of Thermodynamics was released at the tail end of 2008, but so what? It’s real home is in 2009, and this collection of post-grunge rock tunes are reminiscent of everything alternative music hasn’t become. Where has the anger and resentment gone that was so front and center in the music of the mid-90′s? Into Maudlin, that’s where.
Maudlin has a Myspace page featuring more Maudlin music, but the cool kids hang at the band’s online blog: http://ismybandcool.com. They also buy Maudlin music at the Electric Fetus or Cheapo Discs, and in less cool fashion, iTunes. Check Maudlin out at the Turf Club this Saturday night, August 15, and knab another free mp3 by Maudlin from the Borangutan Downloads page.
