There is no way I would ever be able to say anything nice about a mouthful of bees. I mean didn't you see My Girl when the little boy died from bee stings. Holy mackenzie batman! That was not cool.

However, there is a less painful Mouthful of Bees that I can honestly say is enjoyable. They swarm in from Minneapolis and have the Indie Rock flair us 20 and 30-something folk are grooving to these days. Their album "The End" came out on January 23, 2007. You can buy it at Afternoon Records. (I think Afternoon Records has picked up some rather talented people during their four years of recruiting.)

Not only is Katelyn Farstad dressed wicked cool every time I see a picture of her, but she is also the band's drummer. You don't see many girl drummers when the band is a 3 to 1 ratio of guys.

I think you will find the song shared on here is super hip. It's not frequent that the bass guitar has such a strong part in a song. So for that I send a *high-five* out to Micky Alfano.

Mouthful of Bees - "The Now"

With all that said...I do think the voice is lost in the song. For me it is important to hear what they are singing about; it adds meaning to the song. So even though I'm jumping around like a school girl because the tune is catchy, I do wish the vocals were kicked up a knotch. Hopefully Afternoon Records will drag them out of the basement and put them in a nice studio to bring out their full potential.
