IndianGiver — Plafond EP

If you were to peruse the “About” section of IndianGiver’s Facebook page, you’ll notice how the instruments attributed to each of the Oklahoma City band’s five members are described with downright flippancy: Dylan Jordan plays “sticks & animal skins,” while Jazzton Rodriguez earns his keep with “shanties & loud noises,” and so on.

Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

There's a good reason one-third of Cross Canadian Ragweed's releases are live albums: It is first and foremost a live act.

Although lead singer and songwriter Cody Canada acknowledged the group's live albums are its best sellers because of the band's road reputation, the last two studio discs have crept up.

As the band prepares for the release of its new disc, "Mission California," what better way than to promote the record than with an Oklahoma City show, at a club they partially own, where the cost of the CD is also the price of admission?

NEW ALBUM
Formed in Yukon in 1994 and fermented up in Stillwater, CCR is comprised of four guys who grew up together, and continuously collaborate with an ever-expanding family circle of fellow musicians. For the new album, however, things changed.

"We went to California to get away from everybody we knew," Canada said. "That's the meaning of the title. It was our mission to get away and make the record."

Canada and his compadres expect to go down in a storm at Friday's Wormy Dog Saloon show. Being co-owners of the joint makes it friendly territory, and it has a conducive vibe made all the more noticeable because of the social lubricants consumed in quantity there.

"You've gotta get there right at showtime," Canada said, speaking as a performer. "Otherwise, you might get too drunk too quickly." "Tory Troutman
