Pomegranates are playing Forecastle 1-1:30 slot on Saturday.  Pomegranates are our neighbors to the north, hailing from Cincinnati, OH and play a 50’s Pop/Surf/Shoegaze kind of sound, described by Music Slut as sounding like Tortoise on a ski trip with Grizzly Bear.  The indie popsters recently released their debut Everything Is Alive on Lujo Records, the label that snapped them up after self-releasing their debut EP Two Eyes in June of last year, which is essentially when the guys got together as a band.  Things haven’t slowed down for them either, becoming Spin’s Artist of the Day, playing Monolith, touring with Islands and being discussed extensively in the blogosphere.
