Brooklyn indie rockers Mainland recently released their sophomore EP "Shiner," featuring four diverse songs of driven guitar rock, including noteworthy single ‘Savant’ (streaming), an upbeat and semi-epic punk rock gem bearing sonic overtones ranging from spaghetti western soundtracks to the irresistible punk-folk of The Pogues. The band, which is scheduled to play Mercury Lounge tonight opening for Made Violent and Bowery Ballroom on June 23 with The Colorist and Field Mouse, has obviously been catching The Bowery Present’s ears, which bodes well for the future, and is enough of an achievement to elevate them to the status of ‘NYC buzz band.’ They also have a couple of shows at NXNE this coming weekend.
We added this song to The Deli’s playlist of Best NYC songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
