I want to, but wordpress’s built-in uploader doesn’t allow mp3 files. Handy, huh? What do you use at southcoasting?

I actually own this album (think I even paid for it!) and really rate these guys.

I love ‘Heather, Remind Me’ and am even thinking of doing a cover of it next time I play an Open Mic!

Good find!!

Thanks. I’ve worked it into the post. I also figured out that they’re not so happy with Yep Roc anymore. Of course my knee-jerk response as a fellow musician is to have the artists’ backs, but as a neophyte record reviewer, it’s an interesting dilemma: Since I’m not so clued in to the music world these days (much less the ins and outs of Portland bands), a label can broker the introduction for me. I wonder if I would’ve grabbed the Dolorean CD if it had been self-released.

And maybe Yep Roc has gone around the bend. My last two reviews, strangely, have chronicled one good band that’s been dropped from their roster, and one lame band that’s been added.

There really isn’t a lot out there on these guys. Their “bio” on the Yep Rock site just talks about their process and influences (Neil Young, J.J. Cale, Richard Thompson). They’re from Portland, OR, it was recorded in early 2006, and this is their third release on Yep Rock. Same info is on their MySpace page (only 841 friends?); other info at dolorean.wordpress.com. The standard bloggers have covered them, with tepid-to-positive reviews.
