A Quick Word from the Author: Before we begin, let's make one thing clear: There is no way anyone can be as excited as I am to have the The Indie Sabbath back -- a motion that is long overdue. It's been just over a year since I debuted the Sabbath last May to an overwhelming response from hundreds of Indie fans emerging from the wet works. Over time, the Sabbath hit some speed bumps before eventually stalling out completely. Excuses need not be made, myself and the rest of EARMILK are just thrilled [...]
![Album Review: Amanda Mair – Self Titled [2012, Labrador]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4266775_lg.jpg)
So remember the Lilith Fair? A monumental, epic, crunchy-granola, feel-good testament to all that is feminine? Good news if you do remember: You have great taste in female artists. Good news if you don't remember: Amanda Mair can provide a cheat-sheet to all the Lilith Fair awesomeness you have been deprived of. Amanda Mair , first of all, is a baby (aka born 1994 – don't think about it – it'll only hurt your soul). The Swedish singer has a beautiful, clear, natural voice that neither grates nor wears on listeners. I could literally listen to [...]
![Swedish recording artist/pianist Amanda Mair releases debut album [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4259056_lg.jpg)
Amanda Mair releases debut album (Labrador Records) on June 5th Swedish recording artist/pianist Amanda Mair signed to Labrador Records at age 15 before she even had a myspace/facebook page - or had performed live. Amanda has since been voted "2012's Big Breakthrough" by the Swedish Music Industry, her s/t debut album debuted at #16 on the Swedish Charts and her first music video reached 30,000 YouTube views before she had 500 Facebook likes (it's now over 50,000 views strong). The record is produced by Philip Ekström [...]
There's a new Swedish she-popper in town alert ! Some time last week I caught up with newcomer, the AMANDA MAIR , to share a cup of coffee. Watch below as I chat with the 17-year-old sensation about her remarkable debut album, her musical influences, the SPICE GIRLS, performing on stage, and her forthcoming London show, which is the night before she turns 18 years of age. And just so you know, the Swedish Music Industry named her '20122s Big Breakthrough' so you can expect big thangs to come from the [...]
Beats Per Minute Most tours follow some sort of logical routing anchored around major markets, festivals, what have you. Reunion tours are usually even moreso, what with their main motivation - or at least one of them - being to maximize revenue rather than build audiences (unless of course you're the Pixies, in which case your motivation is to play ever single market ever). So it's been equally frustrating and exciting to try and figure out what The Jesus & Mary Chain would do next. After calling it a day following 19982s [...]

Facebook Or perhaps that should read, "Vikings coming, Vikings coming", seeing as how the last few days have seen a flurry of excellent concert announcements from Scandinavian bands. Not the biggest but certainly of interest is the return of barely out of their teens if even that Danish post-punks Iceage . Their debut New Brigade was as intense as it was brief - not even 25 minutes to get through a dozen tracks - but with enough melodic sensibility to appeal to those who need a little melodicism [...]

People in Sweden, be them male or female, are almost all gorgeous. That statement has no data to back it up and it's quite ridiculous, but I've been to Sweden before and my goodness, it's a pretty nation. Now whilst it's not all about looks in this world, one has to mention the incredibly innocent beauty that 17-year-old pop singer Amanda Mair possesses and coupled with her infectious new material, I'm head over heels in love.
