Whoa baby. This is one of the weirdest covers the Polyphonic Spree have ever done — and they've done more than their fair share. You might remember that, back in August, I said that the Spree would be contributing a cover of a song from the Nightmare Before Christmas for a compilation. I won't share [...]

This week Austin-based collective the Polyphonic Spree released the video for “We Crawl,” another track off their latest album The Fragile Army. The video was directed by indie filmmaker Dante Harper and shows a very personal and close look at the cloaked ensemble.

Finally throwing my two cents in on the big Chicago festival. It was a great long weekend with some truly magical musical moments.The first was early Friday when the Polyphonic Spree and their attack of warmth and loved filled Grant Park. An amazing thing to see live, if you ever get the chance to, check them out! Tim Delaughter and his band even have a way of making Kurt Cobain lyrics sound ho...

The Polyphonic Spree release their new album The Fragile Army on June 10th. The former choir-cloak wearing ensemble has just released the video for their first single, "Running Away." The entire video works like a cartoon, some 70,000 still photographs making up the clip. All snapshots were taken during a recent ten day tour. The Polyphonic Spree start a massive US summer tour on June 23rd at t...

Not only have the Polyphonic Spree traded in their choir cloaks for some avantgarde army fatigues, but they’re also giving fans a unique preview of their new album, The Fragile Army. The band has compiled an 8 minute mash-up of the eleven track album, which hits stores on June 19th, 2007. Before you take a listen frontman/sergeant Tim DeLaughter asks all listeners to “please raise your ears an

I have never listened to this band, but today I stumbled on this link -http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/polyphonicspree/questfortherest/A fun little game where you solve the puzzles of how to lead the little robe clad crew through 4 fantasy scenes to the tune of different PS songs from their 2004 set "Together We're Heavy". On the final page, there are links to a video for "Cane" and a couple oth...

I'm going to just go ahead assume that this is the first time a "Kool-aid" joke has been used in a Polyphonic Spree review. Anyway, don't drink it.What a curious bunch; upwards of 30 people wearing Technicolor dreamcoats, playing instruments, dancing, singing, laughing, smiling and clapping and they're _not_ waiting for the comet? Perhaps I'm just a hardened cynic but the spectacle of The Polyp...

Earlier this year, I was complaining that we never seem to have the winters I remember from my childhood. High snowbanks, long cold snaps, the chance to go tobogganing or skate on a frozen pond.Well Cinderfella, my wish appears to have been answered. It started late, but this damn winter doesn't seem to want to stop.The snow just keeps coming, the snowbanks keep growing higher and my patience ...

Have you seen this site before? I stumbled upon it today and helped the little guys meet up with the rest of the band. Interesting technique, to get people to hear tracks off your record (Together We're Heavy), why not use a game?

"Enough with the fucking confetti" spoke the bouncer, reminding us to head towards the door after the last remaining members of the Polyphonic Spree left the stage. White strips of paper lined the floor of the NorVa, adding to the usual decor of spilled beer and broken plastic cups. Tim DeLaughter and his modern symphony had come in, spouted confetti, and made me want their new album. As someon...

This could well be a controversial choice in the video department. The Polyphonic Spree (remember, those 20-odd crazy Americans who are a bit too happy?) have just released a video to accompny their cover of Nirvana's Lithium. To some, this will be sacrilege, to others, genius. It's not exactly a new cover - they performed it [...]
