Pictured: Really? A hippie? That’s not what I pictured at all.
I don’t know that much about Marty Anderson. I was really only introduced to his music 4 or 5 days ago. Here’s a list of the things that I do know -
1) He has Crohn’s disease. It makes him lose a ton of weight all […]
Pictured: Tunng hiding it under a bushel? No, they’re going to let it shine.
Two posts in one day, can you believe it? Sorry guys, it’s been real busy at this end. Hopefully as the holiday season continues, we can keep you on a steady diet of nog and snooty music. […]
Pictured: The Zebras NOT putting another shrimp on the barbie. Well, that guy at the end might be doing something fishy. No, not that one. The other one.
The Zebras are a band that rollicks. They play their instruments charmingly. Suprisingly, they’re from Australia. Maybe it’s my own prejudice […]
Pictured: The indie musician’s version of Twister. Right hand on glockenspiel, left foot on clarinet…
Let’s just get it out there right away, The Six Parts Seven don’t have singing in their songs. Thankfully, I didn’t know that before I downloaded their album Casually Smashed to Pieces. I had only read a review that recommended the […]
Pictured: I think Life won.
A little band called The Moldy Peaches released a self-titled CD on September 11, 2001. Adam Green and Kimya Dawson recorded the album’s 19 songs in a basement somewhere in Washington, barely managing to play their guitars and bang on drums while trading vocal parts. Of the 19 songs were such […]
Richard Swift is the most talented musician you don’t love. You don’t love him in the same way that you don’t love your soul mate the day before you meet them. You don’t love him because you don’t know him. It is only partially your fault. I guess the other portion can be explained […]
Pictured: Sleeping States is here for the temp job.
Sleeping States (Markland Starkie, no relation to Ringo) is a great mix of moody, spacious, hipster rock and weirdy-folk rainy day music. A little fellow from across the pond, it would be errant of me to classify him as “shoegaze”, but a little […]
When I was in 7th grade, I played guitar in a Jimmy Eat World cover band. We played “The Middle”. I will never forget what it felt like to have my entire middle school screaming my name, demanding an encore. To this day, I don’t think a group of people has ever been that excited […]
Pictured: William Elliott Whitmore. The record label wouldn’t shell out for a studio with walls.
The indie genre has been pretty well drenched with rootsy-folk music over the past few years. Around 2003, all pre-existing bands simultaneously decided on the need to incorporate ‘subtle’ banjo parts into their music, and all newly formed projects since than […]
