Today's post comes from a absolutely wonderful yet obscure west coast female fronted indie pop that touches upon the same style of noisy guitar yet tuneful sounds that made bands like Velocity Girl and Lush household names among indie rock fans in the 90s. As far as I have been able to dig Poastal didn't release much material which is a shame because after listening to all their tunes I simply want more. In addition to the magnificent two song single
Here that I am sharing with you here today Poastal also released a split single with #Poundsign#, a three way split 7 inch with Further and Diskothi-Q for
Over the Wall Fanzine and lastly a contribution for the amazing Candy Floss Records compilation
Pure Spun Sugar. A friend of mine claims that there was a demo tape in existence as well though neither of us have ever actually heard so it may very well not exist though it wouldn't be out of the question. I hope it does because I want to hear more. This is indie rock done exactly the way I like it-noisy yet tuneful guitars, crisp vocals and super catchy. I wish I knew more about this great band so I could share more info with you all. However, I do own all of the actual records I have cited here and shall share them over time. One fact about Poastal is that the drummer is none other than Yoshi Nakamoto who has also been in such noteworthy indie pop bands as The Aislers Set and Scenic Vermont.
