HORSE the Band garnered attention and a fan base through their unique sound which fused 18-bit Nintendo influences with post hardcore to create what the band named at the time, “Nintendo-core”. The band have done what they can to get away from that style and that label before they become a one-trick pony.So where [...]Related posts:An Horse – Rearrange Beds Review An Horse are a two-piece

I was actually sent the wrong Wild Beasts album and for a good while I was under the impression I was listening to Two Dancers when I actually was listening to 2008’s Limbo Panto.I ended up digging Limbo Panto and it’d probably rate as a 4 and a 4.5 if I put it under my [...]Related posts:Wild Light – Adult Nights Reviews Wild Light is a band out of New Hampshire...Anticipated Soundtracks

The blogosphere is all over the Horchata the new mp3 released on the internet for Vampire Weekend. I’ve been a fan of VW since the beginning, so I’m pretty excited like the rest of the internet. They’ve got a show in October 8th at the Horseshoe, I saw them last year and they were great [...]Related posts:Vampire Weekend In The Studio and Free Treat From Toy Selectah In a recent report from

Last year, Neil Young serenaded me. Amongst the crowd of thousands who had turned out for this musical legend, I lost all self control and self respect and, at the top of my lungs and with the worst timing ever in one of those awkward silences between songs that you only ever see at concerts [...]No related posts.

West coast indie rockers ‘The Tender Box’ have more than just an album under their belts. Released this year the group has put together an EP entitled EP1. The rather uninspiring album title does not affect the music and after seeing them live last Monday, it felt necessary to look into some of their most [...]Related posts:The Tender Box Live @ The Phoenix Review It was a timid Monday evening

Back in June I wrote a review about an artist from New Brunswick, New Jersey, named Brian Bond. In this review I waxed eloquent on Mr. Bond’s ability to write a decent song, well actually, a better than decent song. Well, Brian Bond has done it again with Communipaw. With the help [...]Related posts:Jet – Shaka Rock Album Review “We feel the way we wanna feel.” Today we’re going...DD/

“Have I lived my life too selfishly baby?”I’m pretty absolutely ready for autumn. Summer in Texas is everything you expect. Unbearable, icky, etc. Like everything else, it’s fun at first, but gets old and you want new weather. Now it’s October, and a change in everything is coming, in my life and in the seasons, [...]No related posts. Sorry.

Music-appreciating citizens of Toronto and whatever other weirdos frequent this blog do not need to be reminded of who are Bruce Peninsula. The band have spent the last few years building a rabid cult following in their home city and digging out pockets of fandom in more remote reaches of Canada, including my home city [...]Related posts:Bruce Peninsula – A Mountain is a Mouth Bruce Peninsula .

Trip-hop hasn’t been getting too much notice outside of the latest Portishead album. It is a really unique genre that has seemed to die out a bit, but that doesn’t mean we cant still go back and listen to some older stuff. Baxter’s self-titled album came out way back in 1998 but it still doesn’t [...]No related posts. Sorry.

It was a timid Monday evening when I first arrived at the Phoenix Concert Theatre. It was a rare sight for me to see it so behaved, normally it can get pretty swamped, but then again, it was Monday. Starting off the night was L.A.’s own The Tender Box and they opened with style. The [...]Related posts:Amazing Baby and Phoenix at the Phoenix The Phoenix Concert Theatre was packed to the brim....

Perhaps one of the more profound bands under the Fueled By Ramen umbrella, Paramore has quickly grown into a household name amongst listeners around the world. Having had significant radio and video play, the face of Hayley Williams has been instilled upon millions of viewers.

The fact that I’m not the biggest pop fan at AWmusic should be reason enough for me to not speak my mind on La Roux’s new album, but the fact that no one has done it yet speaks volumes itself.So far, La Roux have emerged unscathed from comparisons to Lady Gaga and Little Boots, and [...]No related posts.

Dethklok is back once again with their latest album, Dethalbum II, providing even more brutality and metal than ever before; when listening to this album leave your brains at the door, because your minds shall be blown.

Princeton is a pop band out of California with a name that can easily be mistaken for the Ivy-league school. Accidental comparisons to Vampire Weekend could occur and while it wouldn’t be that far off as Princeton is proving to be a pretty good band in their own right.Some bands just know how to make [...]Related posts:Princeton At Lee’s Palace in Toronto – Sept 11 On a sold out night with s

I guess one of the “bad” things when releasing a great album is the ultimate comparison of your new material to the “that” album. Even as good as it might be it ends up being the measuring stick.This by no means is bad in any way as an artist you ultimately want to release a [...]Related posts:NEW Mp3: Why? – This Blackest Purse We don’t do this normally.

Muse’s fifth studio album ‘The Resistance’ brings a new sense of scale to their music never seen before. It’s the most focused album they’ve ever released, but it still contains themes and messages expressed in smaller doses from previous iterations. The theme of an Orwellian society of state controlled information often overshadows the music due [...]Related posts:Muse – Uprising Musi
