New music: Apex Manor - "Under The Gun"


Fans of The Broken West's sunny power-pop should take note - Apex Manor have risen from the ashes following the breakup of The Broken West in 2009.  Songwriter Ross Flournoy got his groove back while writing a song to submit to an NPR songwriting contest (seriously), and began writing new songs at a feverish clip.  He recorded the songs with help of fellow Broken West bandmate Brian Whelan.  That first song was "Under The Gun", which you can stream/download below.  If you were a fan of The Broken West (which I was) or Merge labelmates Telekinesis, you will probably dig this.
