die erstaunlichkeit von "eternity of dimming" findest du nicht im quantitativen besatz von zwanzig tracks und einer spielzeit von etwa eineinhalb stunden. du findest sie in der genauen beschreibung und bezifferung einer amerikanischen vorortjugend. du findest sie in den bebilderten abstrusitäten, die in den augen eines heranwachsenden immer mehr zu monstrositäten erwachen. in der rückschau aber begründung für den späten seelischen unfrieden sein werden, ein mosaik, das die sonnengebleichten vhs kassetten auf den schlafzimmerregalen erinnert, die aggressiven fußballtrainer, die fauchende sauerstoffflasche der über das kreuzworträtsel gebeugten großmutter und die massigen kopiergräte der für kurze zeit wohlhabenden nachbarn nicht übersieht sowie [...]
hatten wir zuletzt noch ( vorschau nummero 1 ) über die bildung einer marke referiert, es ging natürlich um das sound of bronkow , ein geflügeltes wort mittlerweile, so müssen wir in der zweiten vorschau auf das feine dresdner festival ( 30.08. - 01.09. ) rund um k&f records sowie das societaetstheater mehr noch auf die bands eingehen, die die tolle veranstaltung bespielen werden. erst recht, wenn uns dieser tage die tollen nachrichten von einigen neuzugängen erreichten. und wir wollen weder verheimlichen, noch schön tun.

This weekend marks the inaugural run for Atlanta's brand new Shaky Knees Festival , and I'm stoked to be there to experience it! The two day festival will be held in a newly completed park next to a prominent Atlanta music venue, The Masquerade . The schedule and lineup is a bit light compared to other festival heavy-hitters ( Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Hangout ), but for a first year festival, the lineup is pretty amazing. The schedule is 12-11 Saturday, May 4, and 12-10 Sunday, May 5. Nearly every act scheduled to [...]
'Eyelashes' is a nice bit of alt-country/Americana from 'Eternity Of Dimming', the new album by Frontier Ruckus
The new double album from Frontier Ruckus straddles the line between "so much" and "too much", mostly coming out ahead. With their new album Eternity of Dimming, Frontier Ruckus have created a quintessential double-album, complete with all the benefits and problems that label suggests. The 20 songs and 90 minutes of music are probably essential to capture all of songwriter and singer Matthew Milia's ideas and words, but the length also makes for a demanding stretch of listening, raising the old questions about editing and pretension in pop and all that good stuff. What matters,...
Lansing, MI based folk rockers Frontier Ruckus recently released their third full-length, Eternity of Dimming. This twenty song, two-disc follow-up to Deadmalls & Nightfalls is a collection of tight, short tracks that comemorate and reflect on life in suburban Michigan. Led by talented singer-songwriter Matthew Milia, the works by the four-piece are characteristically lyrically intensive and function as a fitting closure to their trilogy on landscapes and urban decay. They've turned up heavier elements such as bass, electric guitar, and drums while retaining a charming folk feel. Standout track include the title track, “In Protection of [...]
Frontier Ruckus covers Third Eye Blind's 'Semi-Charmed Life' on AV Undercover.
die songs von frontier ruckus sind eigentlich ziemlich gewöhnlich: schlagzeug, bass, akustische gitarre, gesang, dazu banjo und akkordeon - country-pop eben...
I put the words and the melodies together… Frontier Ruckus: Eternity Dimming Hailing from Michigan, this roots pop band is eerily reminiscent of Clem Snide, one of my favorite now-dormant bands of the '00s. That may mean nothing to you, but to me it means great songs filled with potent imagery and amazing pop-culture-strewn lyrics. The sound is largely centered on the words and vocals of Matthew Milia and the banjo playing of David Winston Jones, each track on the album a potential “your new favorite [...]
![[SHOW REVIEW] First Avenue presents Frontier Ruckus with Winterset and American Youth](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4804865_lg.jpg)
In a night filled with folk-rock, Frontier Ruckus and the rest of the night's performers brought their A game to the Triple Rock Social Club . Minneapolis locals, American Youth, started the night off in an unusual fashion, for them anyways. Typically a four piece rock group, they showed their softer side with a three piece acoustic set. I really enjoyed the set these guys put together, including a cover of "I Fought the Law." I'm looking forward to seeing these guys play a set fully plugged in sometime soon. Another local group, [...]
It's about time. Enjoy this new mix tape, and use it well. Play it in your car, at work, at a party - hell, give it to your girlfriend for Valentine's and tell her you made it. Won't offend me - just name the baby you make after me. As always, if you like what you hear, go buy the rest of the record. I've provided links to do such.

If you're looking for a song full of big words, you've come to the right place. Frontier Ruckus are fresh off the release of a double album and are probably coming to a town near you. In fact, they'll be in Minneapolis at the Triple Rock on February 23rd. I'll be there, how about you? Check out the their newest video for "Careening Catalog Immortal" (there's those big words I was talking about) that came out in just the past week.

Eternity Dimming by Frontier Ruckus is so drenched in the sun-soaked sound of Americana, it has little to no identity of its own. It's almost as if Conor Oberst was told to calm down a bit and then proceed to see how many words he could cram into an album without saying much at all about anything. As an opening paragraph, this may seem a tad volatile, but it needs to be said, as Frontier Ruckus are a band that have crafted a name for themselves, yet seem to have lost all appeal [...]
Having established a reputation for producing cerebral Americana with their previous album and EP offerings on this their third full length Frontier Ruckus stretch their legs and release a twenty track collection Eternity of Dimming through Loose in the UK and Quite Scientific Records in the US. Double albums are somewhat of a rarity these days often the reserve of those in the twilight of their careers or reserved for Best Of's and compilations, they are by no means easy projects to pull of successfully - in a world inhabited by [...]
