During their first ever trip to New York City just a couple months ago, Alt-J played to a half filled room at Merucry Lounge as direct support to We Are Serenades . Now, with their debut album arriving in the states on September 18 via Canvasback , the band is poised to take our city by storm with two already sold out shows. Most impressive considering they're also headlining Bowery Ballroom on September 12. Of course, they're not the only band in town this week worth seeing. Check out Wild Nothing with Grimes , [...]
This Wednesday marks the first day of summer and this week's concert schedule couldn't reflect that more. Although Jukebox The Ghost , Body Language , Lemonade , The Rapture , and Los Campesinos! are all hitting our city this week, it's Governor's Ball on Randall's Island that has our attention. The two day festival put on by Founders Entertainment is a small-ish music festival (only 25 bands playing) with big-time headliners. With Passion Pit , Beck , Kid Cudi , Santigold , [...]

Brooklyn's pop-rock quintet The Canon Logic recently released a music video for their track "No Domino" off of their 2011 EP "Rapid Empire". The video begins with a young boy swimming underwater, with an overwhelming sense of summertime nostalgia. Sparser at first, the song is driven by a melody building in intensity and the driving pulse of a bass drum. As the song progresses, light animation becomes more prevalent in the video, accentuating both the singer's performance of the song and the boy's journey through the river. As the song reaches its climax with a walking bass line [...]

While there were an insane number of great albums released this year, much of the excitement and buzz of new music and artists came instead from EPs. Often released as a precursor to an LP, the extended play (or EP) prepares fans for what they may find on a full length. For many of the releases in 2011, though, the EP was able to stand alone as a full musical composition. With the rise of Foster The People , Gary Clark Jr. , Alabama Shakes , Reptar , and followup releases from Surfer [...]

Listening to the Philadelphia-based The Canon Logic is like taking a quick trip back to the simple days of 2004, when Facebook was elite and popular buzz groups like The Killers were still exciting—even as they played their plain old five-piece pop-rock and sported only slight bits of make-up. The faint edginess offered by groups born in the age of Bush-era angst has since been duplicated and only sometimes replicated (or, even more rare, reinvented); thus, the experimental tinge that once set those bands apart now leaves The Canon Logic lost in the oblivion of quirky-trendy music fuzz. But, once you manage to [...]

DOWNLOAD : Canon Logic - "Don't Know What You've Got (Til Its Gone)" I've got a backlog of postings and CD reviews to finish and yet I spent too much time this evening trying to Photoshop Tim Kiely's head onto a mid-80's photo of Tom Keifer. The Canon Logic have the lead-off track on the new Engine Room Recordings' Guilt By Association compilation. The theme of Vol. 3 is 80's hair metal and The Canon Logic deliver a rocking power-pop cover of Cinderella's [...]
Engine Room Records has released the third volume in their series of indie bands covering guilty pleasure tunes, and this time they're all taking on hair metal classics. How does it fare? Very, very well.
Engine Room Recordings is back with another installment of the beloved covers compilation series with Guilt By Association Vol. 3 , to be released on November 15, 2011 . The Guilt By Association concept is easy, Engine Room asks artists to cover songs that one could call a guilty pleasure, but the catch is we all love these songs guilt free! Past volumes included tracks by Devendra Banhart, Will Oldham, Superchunk, My Brightest Diamond, Matt Pond PA, and Frightened Rabbit covering artists such as Mariah Carey, My Chemical Romance, Ace [...]
While the summer is gone, I always look forward to the crispness of autumn. It's a time for changes, swapping tanks for sweaters, and flip flops for fun fall boots.

We are excited to be attending this year and wanted to share with your some of our picks for the 2011 festival: ANR Active Childe Ambassadors Art Vs.

Canon Logic - Howl In The Night Buy US: Buy UK:

Here's one that's been floating around for a little while that I can't seem to get out of my head.

Off of their Rapid Empire EP, this one is the perfect playlist starter and coincidentally is currently available for free over at Canon Logic's website in exchange for an email address. Be on the lookout for more from this quintet out [...]
