Jack White’s Third Man Records has some seriously dark, bluesy characters lurking in its roster.  The Black Belles are a collection of tough looking dames playing some serious garage rock, that, I’m sure, makes Jack proud.
I really love the sound of this new single as the noir video rolls along like an Alfred Hitchcock-esque mind [...]

Debuting in 2005 as a three piece band, later to become a four-piece ensemble, The Answering Machine has conquered its way into my heart and my playlist. Martin Colclough, Pat Fogarty, Gemma Evans started the band sans drummer, but would later make up for this using a drum machine dubbed Mustafa Beat. Ben Perry later [...]

MP3: “I Can Talk” – Two Door Cinema Club
MP3: “Something Good Can Work”-Two Door Cinema Club
In my opinion, one of the most promising up and coming bands out of the United Kingdom is dropping their first album in March of 2010 under the label of Kitsune records.  The three lads (Alex Trimble, Kev Baird, [...]

Why, oh why, does a great pop band like Passion Pit continue to put out horrible videos?  Not once, but twice, the indie-poppers have put out a video for “Little Secrets”, and on both attempts have achieved a video that looks like it should be from the 90’s. I had just always assumed that the [...]

SO, since I usually assume the people who are robotic in nature are aware of things like this, imagine my surprise when I find out how many people I know have yet to witness it’s glory.  It Might Get Loud is possibly one of the most amazing rockumentaries (working on the copyright for that one) [...]

In March, the White Stripes’ incredible boxset will be released in support of Under Great White Northern Lights, the band’s documentary of a whirlwind tour through Canada.
Amidst all of the boxset’s contents is a DVD of the White Stripes’ 10th anniversary show.  Under Nova Scotian Lights, like other Jack White productions, is about as raw [...]

Released over three months ago by Merge Records, the video for “Walls” is as entrancing as the single.  The Shout Out Louds converged on Seattle, fresh off of a six-month hiatus, and built a rural barn into a musical temple.  The video for “Walls” shows their new sanctuary.

Shout Out Louds – Walls from Merge Records [...]

With a rather late showing of support for their self-titled, 2009 release, Them Crooked Vultures graced the SNL state this past Saturday.  Could a few lackluster performances pull their “aging supergroup” status out of the gutter (at least in my mind)?  We’ll see.

The Shout Out Louds are really rolling out the marketing tools in support of this February’s Work.  After receiving an advance copy of Work, “Walls” was undoubtedly the single and stand-out track.  “Fall Hard” is an interesting song in the mix . . . a bit mellow and more vocal cadence than most Shout Out [...]

Amidst making the rounds for Transferrence, Spoon stopped by Conan on Jan 19th to drop off a performance of the blog-busting, “Written in Reverse”.  This song has been lighting up blogs for the past 3 months and continues to gain steam.  It is, perhaps, the best song off of Transferrence.  Enjoy.
