So, this is the first of what will be a quarterly thing on Visible Voice...the seasonal mixtape. I plan to use these mixtapes as an opportunity to share some of my favorite new music. Great tunes by local or not-so-local bands that you should know and, in many cases, tracks that have not been officially or widely released yet. For this inaugural winter mix a cold, snowy Boston is my (our) backdrop and, fittingly for this time of year, many of the songs here evoke themes of reflection. During the cold winter months I find that [...]
While we were gone, stuff piled up. A lot of stuff. And with no relaunch date in sight, it was very hard to be motivated enough to check out the new music coming my way. But there are some bands I love hearing from, so when I got an e-mail from Mike of Boston's Faces on Film, I was eager to listen. Faces on Film - Harlem Roses. You can find this track on Faces on Film's new record Some Weather which, true to its title, is full of Massachusetts climates. The album changes from warm to chilly at...
So I took a four day weekend. The reason for no post on friday, and one so late in the day today (monday) is I've been up to my eyeballs in an e-mail migration. Good news is, I've figured it all out (my e-mail is no longer bouncing) and I can get back on track with my posting. One thing I'd like to mention today is to head to Friends With Both Arms for a Mixtape curated by Mike Fiore from Faces On Film . Together, two very reliable sources for good music. [...]
Right around the one year mark for the blog, I reached out to Faces on Film frontman Mike Fiore to put together a little mix. For those of you who don't already know, Friends With Both Arms is the namesake of a Faces on Film track. I remember catching their set sometime last year and after buying their record, was simply floored by the exquisite collection of songs I discovered. They are still one of my favorites out there, and I look forward to more from them. I've included some Faces on Film tracks below the [...]
A surprising number of people journeyed out in the twelve-degree weather to attend CJ's birthday at Middle East Downstairs . I never figured out who CJ was, but he has an impressive list of friends including Hallelujah The Hills , Faces On Film , Tulsa , ( melophobe favorite ) Amelia Emmet of Mister Sister, and Jesse Gallagher (whose band included members of Drug Rug). We were there primarily to check out Tulsa and Faces on Film , so without further ado, I present melophobe's [...]

Sunday, August 2nd Brooklyn's Amazing Baby who recently were in town opening for Phoenix and Manotick, Ontario's own Hollerado have been added to the lineup. As for the "In [...]
Faces on Film - "I'll Sleep to Protect You" Tuneage first heard about Faces on Film as a result of our request for submissions . Faces on Film stuck out because their music had that familiar-yet-distinct quality we always look for in new tunes. The vocals in Faces on Film recall the Walkmen and the Annuals (among others), while the music shines through its wide variety. "I'll Sleep to Protect You", the second track on their self-released 2008 album The Troubles , has a dark, Modest [...]

Die Band aus Boston dürfte eines der sträflich vernachlässigten Alben des Jahres 2008 veröffentlicht haben. Und dies nicht nur wegen dem sehr gelungenen Cover. Drüben bei den verehrten Kollegen von Tiny Mix Tapes wurde kürzlich eine Liste der 25 schönsten Albumcovers veröffentlicht. Tatsächlich findet man darunter einige der originellsten Werke des fast schon vergangenen Jahres. Während aber von der erstplatzierten Noise-Kombo Pyramids wirklich nur das Cover nennenswert ist, wird der 2. Platz von einem wahren Geheimtipp belegt. Mike Fiore und Dave Hinckley [...]
The Center for Arts at the Armory, located in the recently renovated historic armory on Highland Avenue in Somerville, MA, has announced that Mission of Burma will be headlining its first benefit show on Saturday, January 24th, 2009 at the Somerville Theater. Mission of Burma on amazon.com Mission of Burma on amazon.co.uk Roger Miller, Clint Conley, Peter Prescott and Martin Swope initially formed this internationally known post-punk band in 1979. [...]
We'll spare you the long history of the effort, by the awesome folks who own the Middle East, to turn the old Somerville Armory into an even awesomer community arts center called the Center for the Arts at the Armory : if you want to follow along at home, read some of these articles . Suffice it to say that the process is ramping up, with a full-blown benefit for the center being staged just down Highland Avenue from the Armory at the Somerville Theater. Mission of Burma -- who're managed by longtime Armory supporter Mark Kates -- [...]

Oh, hello. Here's a list of songs I'm currently listening to overandoverandoverandover. Some are old, some are new, some aren't even officially "out" yet. Listen to them with a solid pair of headphones - not earbuds! Why not try the sparkling pair above? - they're better that way. Sort of like hot dogs are always better at baseball games, popcorn is always better at movies (even when it costs half your paycheck), and coffee is better... oh wait, coffee's always good. Listen away, friends: French Kicks, "Abandon" from [...]
It may feel a bit stretched at almost 6 minutes but for the most part 'Archers' is a rollercoaster ride of indie rock thrills. So while you may have heard the best bits within the first 30 seconds the unshakable swagger means the thrills are maintained pretty much throughout. These Bostonians have been knocking around since 2004, have already dropped an EP ('Seven Sisters') but their debut album
Faces On Film are a band from Boston, Massachusetts who I've not heard a lot from (and their site doesn't give a lot out either) since we received this track, Archers , later on last year. The instrumentation of The Walkmen is coupled here with the kind of raw energy you hear in early Idlewild material. It's got dirty great but quirky riffs, powerful drum beats and that kind of recording quality that sounds more alive than live. It's got lines shouted repeatedly over an unconventional song structure. And it makes me want to [...]
