Like many Elephant 6 acts, the solo project of Olivia Tremor Control keyboardist Peter Erchick has a mysterious enigma that is propelled by not only a nostalgic psych-pop sound, but also by the infrequency of his releases. His output - under the name Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't - first appeared with a full-length, [...]

Or, don't skin the bear before it's been shot. That seems to be exactly what Jay Reatard 's old band members tried to do when they walked out on him in October. (But then again, that's punk music, right?) Inconvenient timing (due to them being on [...]

Spring Tigers - Learning that upcoming pop-rock band Spring Tigers hail from Athens, Georgia, I was initially a bit confused. Though there's no shortage of U.S. bands seeking to mimic Brit-pop artists even down to their charming accents, Spring Tigers really seemed distinctly and genuinely British. The mystery was solved when I found that singer/songwriter/guitarist Kris Barratt is - in fact - the real deal, though he's spent some time now in the States, where he met the rest of the band that would become Spring Tigers. The band's self-titled debut EP (or mini-LP, [...]

If you are like me and wish you had been old enough to appreciate Queen in their time (or if you were old enough to be a die-hard Queen fan at the time), you should check out Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears. Their piano-powered rock has the playful, theatrical and at times even epic qualities that Queen had. But don't worry, they've got their own sounds too, and it sounds like their subject

Elijah Woods' Simian Records and Brooklyn based Old Flame Records release Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears follow up to 2008's beloved Flight of the Knife on October 27th. Bryan Scary and crew is all things glam, psych rock, theatrical 70s pop, and catchy as hell. Listen: Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears - Andromeda's Eyes mp3
When I started listening to this song, the scene from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure where Beethoven is rockin' out the digital piano popped into my head. Then I thought about Lemon Demon. However, this song doesn't feature 80s electric guitar or synths, it's just...wonderfully unpredictable. This quirky-glam theatrical rock-pop comes from Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears, who are releasing

Time for another mix, friends. I was aiming for a spring mix, and I think this accomplishes it, but it's not all flowery and laid back, but has a good amount of energy to it that I'm hoping will shape my spring. Strangelight Glow is what I call this mix, and here is the tracklist: 01. Death Cab For Cutie - My Mirror Speaks 02. Arcade Fire - Lenin 03. The Steelwells - Boxes [...]
We've taken a few days off from this now, so let's head back south by southwest. (I personally would have to climb totally inward, being pretty much exactly sxsw.) Anyway, the following are songs we've posted before but are still very much enjoying. Maybe you missed them the first time around or would like to hear them again? (Middle finger over index.) We've still got plenty of newbies to post,
