Filed under: News , Exclusive , Q + A Redferns via Getty Images Wilco 's recent albums have been criticized as "safe" when compared to their previous, more experimental efforts. Others labeled this new sounds "dad rock." But while some hardcore fans bristled at the more straightforward rockers on Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (The Album) , frontman Jeff Tweedy says the sound of the band's [...]
Music insiders share Iceland Airwaves memories.

The Biscuits and Gravy mixes are the results of "leftover" promotional mp3s from past mixes. For one reason or another, these mp3s didn't fit onto a mix at the time of release. The mp3s sit on a hard drive, all alone until they are united with mp3s who have suffered a similar fate. These tracks are ready to make you sing out loud, dance, ponder your existence, and prevent you from smashing in your dashboard on that long commute to work. Download it, burn to CD, load it on your audio device, do what you want, but most of all [...]

Dad Rocks! - aka Snævar Albertsson - has announced a run of UK tour dates for next month. Following on from an extensive series of European dates, the Denmark-based Icelander will support Tall Ships on their headline tour in October, including a show at London's XOYO where Tellison also join the bill. Speaking about the upcoming tour Albertsson said: "I've played with Tall Ships several times before in the UK and we played a showcase together at CMJ in New York. They are [...]
Many music fans today aren't familiar with the term "Dad Rock," but this new phenomenon, based on old ideals, is playing on the radio, at bars, in kitchens, and lurking around every corner. Simply put, it’s the kind of rock and roll that anybody born after 1950 can understand, drawing on sources as diverse as The British Invasion, the Mississippi Delta, New York in the late 1970s, and classic rock like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. Simply put, Dad Rock is all rock music that a 20-something’s dad would listen to. [...]

And so here's a video from everyone's favourite male parent Dad Rocks! , or moustache virtuoso and all-round good egg Snævar Njáll Albertsson. Weapons (and much of Snævar's output as Dad Rocks!) fosters a sound that's instantly familiar in its mellifluous acoustic fingerpickery - something like a wildly grinning Owen backed by the Mystic Valley Band - but Albertsson neatly avoids falling in line with the legions of lumpen indie-folk by virtue of his bizarre, oddly affecting lyrical nous. Let's take the last song on his debut full-length, Mount Modern [...]

Dad Rocks! has announced that he will play a trio of dates in the UK over the coming weeks.

Anybody with a ticket to the fest will get the chance to go to the first show for free. While it's a solo venture on record, Dad Rocks! will make a UK debut as a full band live.

Father Figure Records er et relativt nystartet, Aarhus-baseret indie-pladeselskab. Selskabets motto er kun at udgive musik under distributionsaftalen Creative Commons, hvilket betyder at musikken er fri at dele til streaming. Det kan vi jo meget godt lide. Ganske i tråd med det udgiver Father Figure Records nu sin første digitale compilation, hvilket også er en glimrende idé. Især fordi der - hvilket ellers er sjældent for gratis compilations - er ganske gode ting at hente på den ti numre lange udgivelse, som virkelig graver dybt efter ukendte perler, danske såvel som udenlandske. Guldet ligger i udgivelsens [...]

Our video-blogger friends at Bands In The Backyard are big supporters of Philadelphia music, even when they're in Austin. For its inaugural (and unofficial) SXSW showcase—which was presented by WXPN and The Key—BITBY put a half dozen Delaware Valley artists on a backyard stage (more like a back porch) in a quiet neighborhood just outside of Austin's bustling downtown. The vibe was tremendously positive, from next-door neighbors extending warm welcomes early in the day, to Key favorite Attia Taylor performing her first-ever solo electronic set (which was mesmerizing). South Jersey rockers The Warhawks even [...]

MOKB has already announced a couple of other parties for this year at SXSW. In addition to those, we are very happy to announce that we are teaming up with the fine folks at Paper Garden Records .

Tweet It's Saturday night and I'm watching American Football. I'm not kidding. Regular readers of SGTMT (Hi Tom & Tim) will know that on Saturday evenings I often watch Match of the Day, drink whisky and write about music. However, for reasons unbeknown to me I'm watching American Football / Gridiron / bad Rugby. Confused. What's even more confusing is my sudden liking for Icelandic / Danish Folk. What's going on? Answers on a postcard to... Dad Rocks! [...]
