A great local act called Those Crosstown Rivals has released a new album that's free on their bandcamp. The album is called Kentucky Gentleman and it was recorded at Dark Ark Studios in Nashville. If you're in to cowpunkish songwriting be sure to give the band a listen. Listen to the album at TXR's bandcamp.

If you take your blues-rock soaked in distortion and tinged with Honky Tonk, The Comet is the place to be on Friday night. Zachary Burns Band, self-described as "rock and country-blues distilled down to its most potent proof" will be joined by Lexington's Those Crosstown Rivals and locals Valley of the Sun. Valley of the Sun can be easily thrown into the stoner rock category, but I like to think of them as the soundtrack you'd want behind you as you're driving through the desert at sunset. Plus, check out this epic bio: [...]

These were all in my inbox like little presents. Really like this Adam & Darcie track. Very hushed, kinda Belle & Sebastian / Shins type song. That's probably a really bad description, but you get the idea. They're signed to Indiecator records and they keep sending me lovely promos. Thank you very much. Listen: Adam & Darcie - Hands/Mind MP3: Adam & Darcie - Hands/Mind Quite like this Crosstown Rivals remix [...]

myspace With both the NFL and college football seasons in full swing, it seems talking about Crosstown Rivals is fairly topical, especially when you think about how the excitement and anticipation of the big game are matched nicely by the sound the quartet delivers. On first listen, you'd naturally assume Crosstown Rivals dwell in Brooklyn or on the other side of the pond. Their songs are taut, driven forward by rapid fire drums, scintillating synths, crunching double guitars, sing/shout backing choruses and Cody Sellar's voice. Instead, the band calls Winnipeg home and [...]
