Sloppy Heads
Brooklyn trio Sloppy Heads have emerged from the secret lair where they’ve crafted their first full on, totally real, cool-as-hell LP with the help of the capable James McNew (Yo La Tengo, Dump). It’s maybe just a little sloppy, but more like loose, in a sweet, groovy kind of way. The band stopped by Serious Business Music iN DUMBO to show us the new jams.
Useless Smile is available now from Shrimper Records.
