A good buddy of mine in college, who has since passed away, was from Goshen, Indiana. He introduced me to Dinosaur Jr. and The Replacements. He'd be happy to know music like this still exists, as am I.

[@benlcosta]

I love the Smashing Pumpkins reference. I too was "singing Pumpkins in the mirror" in 1997. This "Heal" album is becoming a favorite.

[@StJabo]

This band checks so many boxes for me. I'm a huge prog rock/metal player, but I very much appreciate the short, sweet, indie rock, excellent song-writing vibe that this has. Every track I've listened to from this band is gorgeous. Also -- randomly -- one of my best college buddies was from Goshen, IN. I realize this is nine years old and the window for "making it" may have passed, but if so it's a tragedy. This band is so good.

[@christophercraft5327]

Tim Showalter vocals plus J. Mascis guitar equals much happiness

[@rougelily5539]

Wow. Goshen Indiana in the 90s was my youth. This song is so nostalgic to me. Growing up surrounded by cornfields and not much else we had music to help us through it all. Reminds me of driving with my friends in a beat up car with smashing pumpkins blaring. Good times.

[@bsac8991]

Was baked at my buddies and this came on Spotify. Had to Shazam it...and here I am. Good tune

[@mikemccready1127]

I first heard this song while in a traffic delay near the route 1 Princeton circle. I was lonely, I was having fun. Great song, no one wants to start over again however a clean slate is nice too!

[@SaltPyramids]

RIP Dan Hughes

[@NovaDarling13]

So damn happy i heard this dude doing a set for SiriusXMU. This track blew me away...

[@letthereberock1]

Can't believe I am only learning now that is J ripping it up on this track! At the time it same out I hadn't listened to enough Dino Jr. to recognize his signature blissful shredding!

[@NeonGruenesEtwas]

Builder on Pinkbike brought me here :D Nice one :)

[@enrico8655]

Me too 🤙🏼

[@RonsWrecker]

Killer track. Love the vocal sound!

[@KillerandUndertaker]

I'm still writing. Don't ever let go. I wanna hear your song.

[@pangloss9]

Fantastic song! Between this band/guy and The War on Drugs, American music is starting to make a comeback.

[@blueelectricsmoke]

Nothing, War on Drugs, & Strand of Oaks = all from Philadelphia. Philly's scene has been making a big comeback in particular & press has noticed.

[@cu8305]

Brings back memories of the movie Eddie and the Cruisers. Great song!

[@ZoltanStewartMusic]

I absolutely love this song and thanks so much for the wicked good art!

[@padaly]

October 3rd Dublin, just got my tickets, cannot wait!

[@peakmiller6546]

Irony of this song: when its ending I find myself yelling "I don't want to start all over again!" and then I immediately hit replay video...

[@chriswalter8092]

Great band

[@btvsq]

omg I'm in love with this

[@joshualong6335]

I wish he'd come back and play Goshen in '14!

[@CKY66]

He is! At the Ignition Music Garage! Look it up on facebook!

[@SailR108]

Great song...u can keep the vid

[@emilybennett8409]

Okay, but tomorrow I leave for my freshman year of college. I'm going to Goshen College. This is crazy

[@Y2JAIR]

This song is cool

[@2yechan]

HELL YES you guys absolutely rock!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@rudyperez9940]

It's a one man band.

[@2yechan]

Really? hmm. you learn something new everyday. thanks!

[@netdaniels]

So cool, baby! So cool!

[@TwentiethCentury]

Brilliant!

[@danwood2841]

Pure unadulterated genius...

[@dixonknowles]

Before I was fat, drunk and meeeaaann!

[@joegkushner]

Lively beat there.

[@jodysoldman]

J. Mascis guitar riffs have been known to blister one's balls. Mine, and others I know

[@robhimself01]

jodysoldman mine too.

[@cod4rulz]

That opening riff is awfully reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr. "I don't want to start all over again".

[@trains70]

Thats because its J Mascis playing it.

[@chrisschuett4052]

Tommy Raines Indeed. Not noticing J Mascis in this(or any) track he appears in would be like being oblivious to the T-rex busting into your living room.

[@rockybiloba]

Tommy Raines Well that explains why I've been thinking of Dinosaur Jr. while listening to the album, and the track "JM".

[@jordansnow1984]

lolwut I believe the "JM" is in reference to Jason Molina. www.stereogum.com/1683487/strand-of-oaks-jm/mp3s/

[@rockybiloba]

***** Oh, okay.

[@jeff7764]

This song is fucking great, heard on Sirius XMU. Kinda reminds me of Kicking Spit- and indie band from NJ

[@pheonixnipples8969]

I get a dinosaur jr vibe from this song. it could be because I'm biased, still.

[@killbabykill35]

It could be that it is actually J Mascis guesting on lead guitar. :)

[@ronmecredy]

Because you needed some #Goshen in your new music stream

[@ronmecredy]

Definitely an awesome song from 2014

[@roainegohacki3774]

❤

[@ReedJanicki]

Loved this song - made me want to listen to The Cure! Do I hear an influence?

[@wildmercuryfilms]

Reed Janicki You are hearing Dinosaur Jr's cover of Just Like Heaven.

[@eva3740]

For me, it sounds a lot like the cure - boys don't cry

[@comradehermit9320]

This song is about me. I was that guy. Singing Pumpkins in the mirror. I was lonely and I was having fun. Just change the title to Bellfonte '07 and this song is a fucking mirror.

[@typ3522]

It’s for all of us. Town, year

[@MattyYTG]

My life :)

[@chrismorrison2805]

FUCK YEAH!

[@ericdelmoral4095]

for a moment i was thinking of the killers just a little

[@anewageofmagic]

Nah dawg, I hear it too

[@8CAMI8]

I really like these guys an all but some of their music sounds very similar to frightened rabbit old stuff..

[@emmanuelvictoria9268]

Is this Dinosaur jrs former guitarist?

[@predeterminedmeat5024]

Current

[@peakmiller6546]

Singing Strand of Oaks in the mirror...

[@TarshishedCactus]

I was watching a movie and this song came on and i was like I 100% know this is J mascis but who the hell is singing? Lmao

[@rickdeckard1075]

beginning = "huh-huh, cool, its a hot chick"... 0:07 = "no way, Butthead, its a dude..!!!"

[@lolororo158]

I am here because of Emmy

[@Suedeheadism]

Sounds pretty ordinary.

[@jackaslope]

the only good thing about this song is J Mascis actually no, the only good thing about this band is J mascis this band is bloody awful

[@rudyperez9940]

You just used the word "bloody" Your whole argument is now invalid.

[@couchchannel]

What a beautiful song!
