Every so often we’re going to do a Flash back Friday here on Golden Mixtape. These #FBF will focus on just the posts that came from a time this site was merely just another page on Tumblr. First up, the first review ever posted on anything of the mixtape golden!
Do you get approached by those bands after a long day at Warped Tour who ask you to listen to their music and try and get you to buy it for like 5 bucks? I hate when those bands are good, but my bank account is low. That’s how I feel about Like the Stars. I mean they didn’t approach me after a long day in the sun, but as I sat taking notes to this band that was new to me, I fell more and more in love with their music as The Guidelines of Love & Lies played on and I knew that had they came up and asked me to listen, I’d be out 5 bucks at the end. Forever a sucker for a great title, this one’s full of them and the ones that catch your eye will be the ones to catch your ears. “It’s All Downhill from Nineteen” (so true) and “Sabatoge is the New Black” are ones that I can’t stop from hitting repeat on. A sucker for slow jams, “It’s All Downhill from Nineteen” may reach the top of my iTunes “most played” list yet. If you’re a fan of bands like Artist Vs Poet and The Summer Set, well damn, here’s another one to add to your life, you’re welcome.
