Out of Brooklyn, NY, Fort Lean come to us with a gigantic sounding single, “Sunsick” off of their latest 7”. The 5 piece achieve a magnificent balance of aggressive drums and breathy guitar rings that create enough space to fill the halls of a cathedral. Vocal performance is extremely convincing and I must say, the chorus reminds me of one of my favorite bands As Tall As Lions , now broken up unfortunately. Guitar leads are drenched in reverb…these gents definitely have my approval. This coming Tuesday, Fort Lean are headlining Santos [...]

For the last couple of years, things had been looking good for Long Island rockers As Tall As Lions . Their 2009 album, You Can't Take It With You , reached the iTunes Top 40 the day it was released. They’ve appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and were even a part of this year's Coachella webcast. But now, after eight years of existence, the Dan Nigro-led outfit has decided to call it quits. The announcement was made through a blog post on the indie rockers' MySpace page. Titled "A Sort of Farewell," [...]
I'd like to keep this eulogy short. The passing of As Tall As Lions should be less of a reason for me to go on about how amazing the Long Island four-piece is and more of a call for those of you who have missed out to familiarize yourself with one of the better bands of the past decade. I will say, however, that the indie rock quartet's 2006 self-titled release is one of the most beautiful albums I've listened to in my lifetime. If you don't believe me, check out "Ghost of York" below. The band has [...]

Considering this was my first time seeing a show at World Cafe Live and my first time seeing As Tall As Lions and Bear Hands , I was curious to see what this Wednesday night show would offer. The World Cafe crowd ran the gamut from kids to middle-aged adults, some of whom were wearing sombreros in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Half the crowd seemed to be dating the other half; most were ordering food and margaritas at tables; and only a few were crowding the stage. World Cafe Live [...]
