Outdoor Miners
"Twelve Hundred Dollars"

11/27/2009 By Josiah Hughes

Apparently the guitar heavy sounds of classic Northwest indie rock have moved a little bit east. Edmonton three-piece Outdoor Miners are the proof, and they've just released their debut seven-inch.

A-side track "Twelve Hundred Dollars" delivers in every way possible, with up-tempo drums, a catchy chorus and an addictive interplay between the bass and guitar. Beneath it all is a perfectly written indie rock anthem.

The seven-inch, out on Pop Echo Records is limited to 300, so don't sleep on this slab of indie rock revivalism.
