AMFM | This Town (new single)
When I started writing SoundThread Music Blog two years ago, I can remember discovering the debut, self-titled EP from NYC-based indie rock band AMFM - the musical project of singer-songwriter and guitarist David Caruso.

Eighty Ninety | Q&A with the band about their debut EP, "Elizabeth"
Say hello to Eighty Ninety - the NYC-based musical collaboration of brothers Abner and Harper James, who recently released their stunning debut EP, Elizabeth.
