D\u00f3nal Foreman\u2019s <em>The Image You Missed<\/em> explores this concept by repurposing documentary footage shot by Foreman\u2019s dad during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. But rather than dwell on the atrocities, Foreman looks at how movements like this can affect familial relationships.

Since 2000, the group has been the most prominent Mexican act in indie rock. Their folky sounds are tempered by a wide array of influences, from flamenco all the way to heavy metal. They\u2019re difficult to compare because there isn\u2019t really anyone else who sounds like them.

But the trio\u2019s in-your-face progressiveness and tendency to experimentation make them a truly <em>exciting <\/em>force in their genre. I mean, really: how often do you hear banjos at hardcore shows? Imagine if the Beastie Boys never pivoted to rap after their early years in New York\u2019s punk scene.
