The second EP from Cleveland’s Goldmines (ex-HotChaCha) is a blast of garage and psych rock mixed with party-ready indie rock. Four part vocal harmonies over soaring guitar lines and pummeling bass and drums. California sounds with a Midwest bent, an irresistible, uncompromising swing at the world.
"It's like you're finally on the other side of that party you so badly wanted to attend in high school, and it turns out it's really everything you dreamed." -- The Grey Estates
"...twangs and thrashes, a noisy wall of sound, and raspy, shouted vocals, it grabs you immediately and pulls you along with your head bopping...." -- ThrdCoast
"Goldmines are almost sneakily vicious, drawing you in with stoner psych and Far East-influenced guitars, only to immediately kick you directly in the teeth with sudden ferocity. Vocals are often doubled and soaked in reverb as they float astride the band’s pounding guitars and rhythm section. Their songs are endearing, exciting, insightful—and fun as hell." -- Bandcamp Daily
"Their music is special, and something that so much fun. I've played this EP, over 100 times, and haven't lost one bit of love. Featuring the talented mind, behind one of Cleveland's past treasures HotChaCha. This project brings on a joyride, that just screams party. You'll never get a better show, than witnessing them live. But this EP, does a great job at bringing that excitement home." -- Cleveland Music City, ranked EP #2 of the year.
