• Whoa, what is this?

  In our continuing effort to try new things, here’s our latest: Band coverage! This time, indie-pop stalwarts Wheat (fresh off a solid 7.4 on Pitchfork) discuss their love of music, coffee … and coffee. Want to see your band here? E-mail us or bug us on Twitter!

  
  

  Listen to them

  Q1: In 15 words or less, describe your sound: Syrup with cream. Maybe some caffeine, maybe some alcohol. Many mistakes kept.

  Q2: Name three influences that inspire you, with three words each on why they’re awesome:
  Family: I try harder
  Music: I feel lighter
  Coffee: I keep going

  Q3: What’s a recent song you’ve been digging? Write ten words explaining why:
  Bon Iver: “Woods” Amazing smash of lullaby and bad hip-hop vocoder awesomeness!

  Q4: In 140 characters or less, how do you use social networking to get the word out: We use Myspace, Facebook, the regular wheat website, and e-mail. (Is that social networking?) And we still use postcards. I know that might seem old school, but we love the tangible object.

  Q5: In 15 words or less, what’s next for you? Bring our new songs and love to the people. Another song, another record, another coffee.source
