I'm realizing that while I may often overlook it, CT is home to some damn fine music. Take, for example, Hooky, by Stamford's Jacques Le Coque. This record is well-balanced, rough, raw, fuzzy rock n' roll. Bouncing from Built to Spill-style tracks, to surf rock and straight-up punk, these guys are the perfect house-party band. Listening to their songs, I can practically feel an elbow to the ribs and a PBR being spilled on my shoes.

For more info about the band, check out their Facebook page.
