If you're in the market for a solid college rock band with crisp songs and a grasp of the verities (a working knowledge of Nuggets-era psychedelica, Beatles enthusiasm, the Velvet Underground songbook, Husker Dü light, The Go-Betweens' brevity, Pavement irony, straightforward not wimpy vocals), you might want to make the acquaintance of North Carolina's The Rosebuds. On their debut The Rosebuds Make Out, the trio establish a link to the past and a fresh voice simultaneously. Nothing groundbreaking, certainly, but a brisk romp nonetheless. Highlights include the galloping ballad ""Big Heartbreak", the homage "Drunkards Worst Nightmare", and "Kicks in the Schoolyard", a nostalgia piece that quotes the Smiths and doesn't live to regret it.

lovely indie rock. the songs are well-written and very catchy. highly recommended.

Great indie pop with none of the morning after regrets. One of my favorites this year.

this was one of my favourite albums last year and it's still a favourite this year. great indie pop/rock, can't wait until they release another!

This CD is hands down one of my favorites that I own. Well done, feel good indie rock.

this was my favorite cd of 2003, hands down. the rosebuds bring the rock-pop like nobody's business. you can't help dancing around and bobbing you head and singing along. these kids are awesome!
