Yeah, worth sticking around for the full 6minutes plus of Howling Wolf as the guitar solo is where it's at.
The Beth's one was really good though so gets my vote in a close match up.

The Alligator Bride is good. But I love The Beths and Happy Unhappy is an amazing tracks, so it gets my vote easily.

Love both. That Beths LP is melting my mind rn so probably will go with that but Howlin' Rain are great too.

Yes the live scene has been incredible the last few years. I am having to pick and choose instead of whatever we got that was decent when I was younger. Seeing so much live music is really enhancing my appreciation of their albums too.

The Alligator Bride is not bad, but Happy Unhappy is frankly good and gets my vote.

like i said, not the ideal beths song

i wouldve gone with "future me hates me" or "you wouldnt like me", but i do gotta say the whole kiwi/aussie indie scene sound is pretty great and im stoked to see where it goes from here -- despite being reminiscent of 90s US indie bands i think it has a certain quality that makes it unique and i don't just mean the accent lol

Yeah I really do enjoy The Beths more than many of these all-of-a-sudden copious 90s throwback bands, and while the song isn't stunning it's a lot of fun and has some unique energy to it, prefer it over the other things-done-changed rock (which is still pretty good regardless) of "The Alligator Bride".
