Here at Tiny Mix Tapes, we got a little thing called influence. You know, that special clout. We’re tastemakers, that’s what we are. Not to brag or nothing, but the world of independent music spins on our collective little finger. Deerhunter would be nothing without us. Evangelista wouldn’t be on their rocket ship ride to the top. And doesn't Magik Markers have a record on the Billboard Top 40? Pretty sure they do. That’s what they call the TMT bump.
The newest recipient of the TMT bump? Brooklyn’s Grooms, that’s who. Ever since the big Mix Tapes gave their debut record Rejoicer (TMT Review) four orbs filled with dreams and magic, they’ve been on the top of the world. And they’re psyched about it, too! So psyched, in fact, that they’re going on a month-and-a-half-long tour to celebrate. A bit of advice, by the way: get your tickets now. Considering the power of the TMT bump, these shows will all almost certainly sell out
