    It's a fittingly strong ending for a band that did almost everything right.

    For longtime fans, there’s little reason not to buy this. For newcomers, Peel Sessions might not be a logical starting point, but you’ll still walk away understanding why Galaxie 500 are still revered.

    The band is in top form, sounding every bit as fresh and relevant in 2005 as they did 15-years prior.

    It's shocking how most of the indie community isn't familiar with Galaxie 500. One of the most essential underground acts in history.
