"The moments in which Jones chooses to withdraw back to the shade of the evening shine brightest here..." Norah Jones | Little Broken Hearts 2009's The Fall was an important album for Norah Jones. Moving her on from the country-tinged acoustic balladeer that she had painted herself as across Come Away With Me , Feels Like Home and Not Too Late , it saw her experimenting with vintage instrumentation, darker tones and new collaborators; Jacquire King – whose CV includes Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse and Tom Waits [...]
I've been a passive listener of Billy Joel's original work since middle school, I guess. But way back in my emergent years, I was a true blue fan, sifting through his early work as a high tenor, singing along with his songs at summer camp campfires, performing Just The Way You Are for talent shows, tagging along with a friend to see the master perform in the midst of the We Didn't Start The Fire era, struggling to come to terms with his mid-career rock and roll, and the drum-driven pop path which he [...]

After The Fall has certainly outdone themselves this time. When I first heard their debut album "Fort Orange", I was impressed with the raw, melodic aggressiveness of the music, but let me straight up say, "Eradication" completely blows out "Fort Orange" out of the water.Their 2010 LP is a much more fine tuned sound, and they have mastered blending melodies with pure fucking anger. After

The first post of the month always features covers of every track on a famous album. Got an idea for a future pick? Leave a note in the comments!Despite the fact that he had already released songs like "Piano Man," "New York State of Mind" and "The Entertainer," it took Billy Joel until his fifth album to hit the big time. After The Stranger hit in 1977 though, weddings were never the same

Did you know that Fort Orange was the first permanent Dutch settlement in New Netherland and was on the site of the present-day city of Albany, New York? Did you also know that Fort Orange is the latest blistering album from melodic-hardcore band After The Fall who (non-coincidentally) call Albany home. While I wouldn't classify anything on Fort Orange as catchy, there's just enough melody that After The Fall doesn't sound like just another generic hardcore band shouting. If you like your drums played really fast, big breakdowns, and guitars that [...]
I'm not sure if I've ever fallen in love with an album from a band that I never heard of as quickly as I did with After The Fall's "Fort Orange". Seriously, first ten seconds into the opening title track, and I was sold.Besides the obvious Propagandhi influences (and as we all know, any band influenced by Propagandhi knows what the fuck is up), After the Fall know how to write a pissed off yet
After The Fall – 'Desire'( mp3 ) I have to admit that I grew up listening and going to see After the Fall play at venues scattered around the western suburbs of Sydney – in fact one of the first shows I ever went to was to see them and Kisschasy (the 'Concrete Boots' tour for those of you playing at home). It would be an understatement to say the boys have taken awhile to release their 3rd studio album but things are definitely sounding very promising with the release of first single 'Desire'. [...]
The voting for Cover Commissions: James Eric is over, and Devo's "Beautiful World" took it! Keep checking back here for the exclusive debut of James', and be sure to stop by next Thursday for more exciting cover news! (Not sure what I'm talking about? Catch up here .) For some reason, while the indie cover world has jumped on the singer-songwriter bandwagon, making supposed has-beens like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen "cool" again, it's still embarrassing to like Billy Joel. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that, [...]
