When a local band plays music right up your alley and has been covered by both the SF Weekly and the Chronicle, yet you still haven’t heard of them, does this mean you’ve spent the last year in a cave? In NASCENT’s case, no, unless small apartments count as caves. More likely, it means that there’s so much great independent music going on in the Bay Area right now that even those of us who make an effort to hear as much of it as possible are bound to miss some of the good stuff.

Aren’t young indie bands great? No label, no album, no website. Just a group of musicians united together under a common vision and a catchy name. Doing their thing. Eating Ramen noodles. Selling sperm. Trying to sign, put out a record, and earn their own piece of the web. Ahh, the simplicity of it all. Oceans of Fire are a San Jose psych-rock group that may or may not practice the aforementioned methods of indie-rock survival, but that’s beside the point. Because above it all is the music, and when the music’s good, ain’t nothing else matter.
