It’s a new season of baseball and, as is their wont,Nashville, TN power-popsters Vista Blue pay tribute to the game that asks “what if cricket, but running around a diamond instead of back and forth?”
This year’s entry into their pantheon of baseball tunes is the two-song release featuring the titular “Clearing the Benches” as the A-side, and “See You Later, Billy Ripkin Card” on the flip side. I’ll be honest, the latter is a fun, high tempo banger and is my fave of the two. Which is yours?

the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
