Without getting into the nasty green, yellow, and brown details, let's just say I'm well enough to be writing and well enough to be working, but still operating at less than peak performance due to that nasty upper respiratory infection that won't go away. In the coming days you should see the year's last installment of The Rockometer -- there's six or seven reviews in various states of completion dying to get published, a Holiday Gift Guide, and 2008's Year End Extravaganza Bonanza. As in the past we'll count down the year's top albums, top tunes, top local releases, and [...]
Not much to say about this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape other than it's really, really good. I mean, sure we say that every week, but this time, we really mean it.

Friendly Foes fucking rule the school. Friendly Foes ' debut, Born Radical , doesn't drop until next January, but I've already heard the whole thing and it would have easily made it into this year's Top 20 list. (O.K., technically it's already out in digital format, but I'm not counting it as a 2008 release since their "official" release date is January 13, 2009. You want a taste of what's making my mouth water NOW though, right? Wrap your ears around this. [...]
Friendly Foes are set to release their album "Born Radical" on Gangplank Records next year. The track "Get Yr Shit Together" is our first taste of the album and for download below. Mp3: Friendly Foes - Get Yr Shit Together
Now, this is a band. They're from Detroit and well worth hearing. There are three members and thirteen songs on this first album, released in August 2008. They are dynamic,rocky,keep their music simple and direct,and mean business.Energetic and lively,this album engaged me straight away. Their sound is excellent for playing in the car whilst driving along the freeway with the roof open. I liked Couch surfing, Get Your Shit Together (bit Kaiser Chiefs), My Body Is A Strange Place To Live (nice track,upbeat,with some fine guitar work and good harmonies,a bit like [...]

While it may not have seemed like it on the site, on a personal level, this week was particularly chaotic. On Monday afternoon, my pride and joy, aka my Mac Book, succumbed to a mechanical problem of some sort, requiring an extended stint at the good old Apple store. And of course, just my luck, the whole thing went down during a very busy week. Fortunately the rest of the staff did a tremendous job this week, proving again that there is no I in team. To celebrate, and help me forget that I still am without my [...]
(photo by Christine Edwards) With a member of Thunderbirds Are Now! , consistent "yeah"s throughout and an overall sense of glee an reverie of all things power pop, Friendly Foes are like rediscovering your love for that vinyl pressing of Zen Arcade or No Pocky For Kitty . They mix up a frantic mess of guitar, bass and drums and reel it in with peppy, super-addictive lyrics, creating a version of hooky anthems that have been sorely missed around the halls of rock these days. God bless them. [...]
Some bands take years to hone their craft, but Friendly Foes ? They were Born Radical . It comes down to the pedigree, really; the band, as you may already know , features Ryan Allen of Thunderbirds Are Now!, Brad Elliott of assorted Detroit bands, and Lizzie Wittman of Kiddo. Together, they've crafted a debut LP they're calling Born Radical , out digitally (and in a few spots physically) now but due in wide release January 13 from Gangplank Records [...]
This week brings us two new releases by Detroitish-based bands, as the album release season continues apace. The first is Friendly Foes ' Born Radical , of which I had a few words to say until I read Jeff Milo's Deep Cutz feature on the band, which will tell you everything you need to know about the Foes' power-pop music electric revival. I do have one extra word for the album, though, that Deep Cutz refrained from divulging: jamburgers. [...]
Friendly Foes, Born Radical (Gangplank Records, 2008) MP3 : "Couch Surfing" Friendly Foes' Born Radical is the most important rock & roll album ever made, an unsurpassed adventure in concept, sound, songwriting, cover art and studio technology by the greatest rock & roll group of all time. From "Full Moon Morning"'s regal blasts of brass and fuzz guitar to the triumphant seizure and short piano chord at the end of "Rush the Land," the [...]
After taking a hiatus in 2007, the annual Detroit Summer Smash is back in action this weekend. Starting tonight, and lasting through Saturday, the Detroit Summer Smash features the hottest of the hot-shit locals - from rockers like Silverghost and the High Strung, to more eclectic fair from the likes of Prussia and Goudron - as well as the genuinely fun atmosphere that local music festivals tend to come jam-packed with. Like other Summer Smashes in the past, the money raised at the even will go to a charity. This year, festival [...]
