A lot going on here. This band gets its name from lead singer Wes Leavins being pen pals with the late Brigitte Bardot (RIP) when he was young and the film legend allegedly addressed him as \u201cBaby.\u201d Then he humbly claims his main vocal influences are Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and&nbsp;Frank Sinatra, along with musical influence from&nbsp;Radiohead,&nbsp;New Order, and&nbsp;the Strokes. It all seems a little curated for me, but that is how you promote a band, or anything, in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pretty good song, though. You definitely hear all those influences along with The Smiths. Two decades ago I would say this band is poised to turn into something big. Today? Unless one of their songs gets picked up on Tik Tok it seems like they will toil in semi-obscurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVotive\u201d &#8211; The New Pornographers<br>TNP keeps chugging along. Their 10th studio album will come out in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cQueen Of Nothing\u201d &#8211; Softcult<br>A nice, shoegazey track that focuses on the struggles women face in modern society. Their new album is out today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c2SIDED\u201d &#8211; Arlo Parks<br>After a three-year wait, the phenom\u2019s new album is just two weeks away. Songs like this make me glad I\u2019ve finally started to check out her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI Like You\u201d &#8211; Cardinals<br>A nice change-of-pace from Cardinals\u2019 previous singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFallen Cloud\u201d &#8211; Austra<br>I\u2019ve played a few Austra tracks for you over the years. I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s taken me this long to share this, as it dropped in early November. It is swirly, dance club goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLonely Night\u201d &#8211; Butler, Blake &amp; Grant<br>Since I have lived in Indiana longer than any other state, when I saw this track\u2019s title I immediately thought of John Mellencamp\u2019s classic. This is definitely not a cover. Lovely song even if their improper use of commas in their name bugs me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWheel Of Change\u201d &#8211; Hand Habits<br>Meg Duffy said this song is about relationships and not being able to return to a previous state. I know it\u2019s not a perfect match but it feels like we are in desperate need for a wheel of change in this country, because we can\u2019t remain where we are at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStreets Of Minneapolis\u201d &#8211; Bruce Springsteen<br>A bit clunky, but that\u2019s to be expected for a song that was written, recorded, and released inside of 36 hours.
