In case you missed them as one of our featured artists for December, it’s not too late to check out New Haven alt-garage rockers, Western Estates. With tonal flavors ranging from post-punk to grunge to pop, Western Estates dance within and around those genres enough to never quite be pinned down by any of them. From the bright, catchy "One and Done" to the darker, harmonically complex "Alone, To Get Her", their new EP Me First gives a glimpse into the eclectic nature of the band. –Brian Varneke
