It’s no secret that I’m generally into checking out music that student bands from MTSU are putting out. Sure, the top-notch production skills may not be there yet, but there’s a pure sort of expression that comes from an environment that leans on learning and growing rather than "making it" in a bigger music scene. The latest MTSU-born project worth your time is Bread by Snake Cheney, an album that is mercifully devoid of 70’s mustache rock covers despite what the title may lead you to believe. The Mac Demarco comparisons on some of the tracks are unavoidable, but there’s a bit more drive to be found here than the reigning jester of the indie rock royal court ever got around to mustering up. –Austin Phy
