This week’s release of a new track from the North Carolina power-couple the Rosebuds got us thinking: Why, exactly, is this band not 10 times bigger? We realize you have several options when it comes to charming, hooky indie pop, but the ‘Buds’ 2005 album Birds Make Good Neighbors was one of the best of last year, and a favorite at the Idolator flophouse. If you promise to buy it, we’ll promise to stop pimping Merge Records artists. At least until the Superchunk reunion later this month.

OMG IVE BEEN IDOLATORED. Thanks gang!
Big ups to Idolator for mentioning one of my favorite underrated bands of the past few years. Birds Make Good Neighbors is a good place to start, but The Rosebuds Make Out isn’t a bad introduction either. Also terrific live – love ‘em!!!
Holy Shite! “Hold Hands And Fight” is so good that I want to kill myself!
Thanks Idolator.
I love this band. They’re awesome people, to boot!
yay!!!!
a friend introduced me to them this past spring. i can listen to “Boxcar” a million times in a row!
