Who: The Roadside Graves

What do they sound like?: Jersey-bred rockers, fueled by equal parts Uncle Tupelo and Lucero.

Why YOU should listen!: I was initially turned onto this band by LNWF friend Lauren Measure, so thanks go out to her. The song “West Coast,” which you can listen to below, is goosebump-inducing. The band has been getting loads of praise from their Jersey-peers and a few major websites here and there. I’ve been told I need to check them out in their proper habitat, which would be a booze-filled basement in New Brunswick, NJ. I can only imagine the rawkus scene for now. With painfully honest and unflinching lyrics that would make John K. Samson proud, this band could easily become an obsession with a ton of people very soon.
