Album Review: 100 Damned Guns - Musica De Tormento
-
Artist:
It’s hard to take careful notice of much in the stirred-up anthill that is Crazy Fort Worth. With the constant traffic, infinite train crossings and crackheads scurrying to and fro, it’s safer to just keep your eyes ahead, really. But one diamond has surfaced in the rough city and has heads turning. Peculiarly enough, and what has local geologists baffled, is that this stone came in the sha

St. Vincent Goes Solo Acoustic For Grandcrew
-
Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
When you strip away all the fancy John Congleton production and string arrangements from St. Vincent's latest album what you are left with is simply the mesmerizing Annie Clark. She recently sat down for the Grandcrew folks to film her performing a couple of songs from Actor solo acoustic style. Although it's extremely cliche to say so these bare-bones arrangements really show off how beautiful...

Album:Mount Pel�e
Tuesday we previewed Danny Balis' solo release, and today our good buddy over at Bona Fide Darling has a nice little write-up of "Mount Pelee," the recent solo release of Balis' former Sorta bandmate Trey Johnson. It's drastically different than Too Much Living, due laregly to Johnson having the boys from Shibboleth serving as his backing band. While both records were written after the death of...

Album:The Blueprint, Vol. 3

Track:
On Smash posted the new Jay-Z video this morning for the Blueprint III single "Run This Town". While it's not my favorite song Jay-Z, Rihanna, or even Kanye have been a part of, you can't argue with the epicness of the viddy. Guns, explosions, Jay-Z in Juggalo gear, Rihanna looking like some sort of sexy super hero, this video has it all. Not that anyone took Jay-Z all that seriously when he "r...

Album Preview: Danny Balis - Too Much Living
-
Artist:Danny Balis
-
Album:Too Much Living
-
Track:Tethered
As bombarded as we have been in recent weeks with local album releases, perhaps the one we are most excited about is Danny Balis' "Too Much Living". For good reason too, as Balis is simply everywhere right now. Aside from helming one of the area's most popular radio talk shows, his other regular gig playing bass with arguably the hottest honky tonk band in Dallas, The King Bucks keeps him busy ...

Album Preview: Boys Named Sue - The Hits Vol. Sue!
-
Artist:Boys Named Sueme
Country music and booze are the star-crossed lovers of many an old story; a heavy story that Boys Named Sue have taken it upon themselves to tell. Being wrought from many of Dallas’ great bands as well as taking the self-proclaimed title of “Best Band Ever”, you can tell that these Boys must be quite an eccentric group of musicians, having a sound of old country fused with contemporary rock.

Working For The Weekend
We usually leave "it list" type postings for other more self-important folk to blog about, but there is so damn much going on this weekend we felt compelled.TONIGHTFor you Denton folks, the best bet in our humble opinion looks to be our friends (and Mount Righteous alumni) DISCO:HATE, who are having their CD release show tonight at Rubber Gloves. Doors open at 9, and cost is $6. County Lines ...

Fly Farm Blues
We've said it before, but the scene that has us most excited about upcoming documentary "It Might Get Loud" is Jack White accepting director Davis Guggenheim's on-screen challenge to write and record a song on the spot. The resulting song "Fly Farm Blues" sounds as tortured and raw as anything we've heard White create, and confirms in our minds this morning's suspicions that New Science Project...

SubEx Turns 1!!
Who would have guessed when we started out this little 'experiment' a year ago that it would become what it is today? We've been able to hear tons of new and exciting music, meet some cool people, make plenty of new friends, see our share of cool shows, and even been able to do some interviews. And while all these things make doing this thing worthwhile on their own, the best part still has to ...

Mr. Jonze is Calling
I got the following email this morning that I thought was rather interesting so I will post it in its entirety. The gist is that there is a contest and you must make a video of yourself sometime TODAY singing The Past is a Grotesque Animal and upload it to YouTube. And because we'd never tell you to do something we wouldn't try ourselves Mikey has volunteered to be the SubEx representative. If ...

Album:The Almighty Defenders

Track:Cone of Light
Initially I chalked The Almighty Defenders' "Bow Down and Die" to be the lone nugget of gold from the next whiskey-drenched flash in the pan, but as the Defender's sing on their latest track, I have seen the light. The band which pairs the Black Lips with King Khan & BBQ Show also manages to display a little more versatility on "Cone of Light". Yes it's stilla boozy affair with plenty of that ...
