VIMTV Episode #249: Dear and the Headlights – Drunk Like Bible Times

Jake:  Recommended, 85/100

Tom:  Recommended, 85/100

-Requested by and dedicated to Amanda

Overview: Simply put, Drunk Like Bible Times has some of the best songwriting we’ve ever heard. Unfortunately, the production and the mixing doesn’t quite match the quality of the songs. Also, a lot of the tracks are similar in sound, attitude, and mood, so they weaken each other a bit when they’re all put together. Still, this is definitely recommended for anyone into the indie/rock or even indie/folk scene.
