Growing up, The Postal Service existed for me in the same universe as bands like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, or The Smiths. As integral as their songs were to my budding music nerd-dom, they were unique in that they existed only on record. Just as I would never see Kurt Cobain rip through “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” I knew there was no chance of ever seeing Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello perform live together. These were simply the facts, from those innumerable mornings spent driving to high school with Give Up in my CD-drive, straight up to [...]

photo by Christopher Nelson Bassist Kim Deal has left the Pixies , the band announced today on their Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/pixie sofficial?rf=106226122747445 ) page. “We are very proud to have worked with her on and off over the last 25 years,” the statement read. “Despite her decision to move on, we will always consider her a member of the Pixies, and her place will always be here for her. We wish her all the best.” The note was signed by Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering. No reason was given for [...]

Portada de 'The Electronic Anthology Project of Death Cab for Cutie'. Este 2013 ha sido un año bastante ocupado para Ben Gibbard . Para este reconocido músico y cantante, no ha sido suficiente reunir a The Postal Service (después de 10 años), colocar en tiendas una edición especial del Give Up , lanzar un box set de viniles de Death Cab for Cutie y tocar en su totalidad el aclamado Transatlanticism . Ahora, el líder de Death Cab confirmó vía Twitter que la [...]

Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard has confirmed via Twitter that his band is working on new material. This was revealed after a fan tweeted his frustration about Ben Gibbard's recent two track collaboration with Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson on early Death Cab material. Gibbard tweeted this: THIS IS HAPPENING! Do not fear. RT @ brianfulda : I wish @ dcfc would just return to what they do best - writing songs together. — Benjamin Gibbard (@Gibbstack) [...]

With the release of the new Rogue Wave album in less than a week, I decided to pay homage to the band's finest. With a run time just short of 37 minutes, Out of the Shadow is delicious amalgamation of hook-filled, occasionally folk-flavored, lo-fi indie pop songs. Frontman, Zach Rogue, has natural know-how when it comes to low-key infectious hooks, a uniquely lovable voice, and multi-instrumental talent that includes nearly everything outside of the drums. Basically, Zach Rogue is to Rogue Wave as Justin Vernon is to Bon Iver and it's all [...]

"Philadelphia" is a rocking tune that immediately reminds me of a harder version of a Death Cab or Dawes tune. You can find it on Paper Lions' forthcoming album My Friends on the band's own label Fountain Pop Records. It is due out on August 20th. It's available for free download over on their Soundcloud page.

When he isn't drumming for Now, Now, Brad Hale works his electro-pop magic as Sombear . Though relegated as a side project, 2013 could be the year of the Sombear. He's received the blessing of indie all-father Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie), who will be releasing Hale's debut album, Love You In The Dark , via his Trans- Records label on July 23rd. Hale just released the LP's eponymous track, which plays like a nostalgic cross between Postal Service and Imogen Heap. Take a listen below. [...]

So, its come down to me. This is the last installment of Our Favorite Songs of All Time list and if you haven't already, please check out everyone else's posts, they're great. I knew this was going to be difficult because there is an insane amount of music out there and since we were doing a list based on OUR favorite songs, nothing based off of other critics reviews or other lists, it made it that much more difficult. I built a list of songs based off of my favorite albums, I'd pick a song from a favorite album of [...]
Having read ALLEN GINSBERG’s Howl maybe a hundred times, my inner guts still have convulsions when I read "Carl Solomon! I’m with you in Rockland". Call me old-fashioned, but for me a singer/songwriter record should hurt too. It should make you almost cry and let you feel the burden of the weight of the world.

Air Marshal Landing's debut record You Used To Be Me is set to be released on the 4th of June. In preparation for the release, the track Little Town is available to download on a "Name Your Price" basis from their Bandcamp page , alongside a music video which you can watch below. The video was directed by Michael Schmidt and includes, "one of us dressed in drag, one of us twirling an evil moustache, and one of us failing to be a hero." Little Town , an indie number, contains a mention to Death Cab For Cutie's [...]
