It's always great to hear from bands that we've covered before, so I was all smiles when I got an email from Gasoline Heart to let me know about their new song, "Kiss Your Dreams Hello." I became a fan of "When Big Girls Grow Small" off of their album, You Know Who You Are. I totally dug the songwriting, sound, and feel, and singer Louis DeFabrizio's voice nailed it for me. The band has been busy for the past year... they released an album (Nostalgia Ain't What It Used to Be), they've opened for Pete [...]

:: Leor over at True/Slant is a bit skeptical about some of the musical choices being made for Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World . I'm skeptical about more than just that when it comes to the movie's quality, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :: It's that time of year again... peta2 wants you to decide who the sexiest vegetarian celebrity is . Just like last year, my vote goes to Ted Leo . I'm lookin' out for you, Teddy. Wink face emoticon. :: Microsoft and Bing are [...]
Gasoline Heart is a band from Orlando. They are a band that plays Springsteen-tinged mid-tempo rock that shows some obvious nods to its member's Florida punk roots. It isn't groundbreaking or even all that original because (like so many others do, so can you really blame 'em) it seems like they're aping The Boss just a little too much. Their second album, Nostalgia Ain't What It Used To Be , starts off strong with "Never Been Worse" and "Can't Keep A Good Kid Down" but the middle drags a bit. The album also finishes with a bang [...]
Gasoline Heart is not an indie rock band. They are a rock band, and a good old fashioned bar band at that. Like any rock band Gasoline Heart doesn't have an exact sound to compare themselves to. It's about a spirit, an attitude pulsing behind the chords and shouts. Gasoline Heart is the bottom of the bottle attitude that The Replacements famously showed off when playing Tom Petty covers as they opened for Tom Petty — they didn't care that an arena was booing them. They were just having fun, and that is [...]
Why bother dreamin'? Why not wake up and realize you've been dead for several years -Just Like A Ghost There are some bands that seem to be going through the motions...Gasoline Heart is not one of those bands! They play passionate, no-holds barred "honest" rock and roll.They have a new album available Nostalgia Ain't What it Used to Be at P is for Panda. Be sure and check out some songs first at gasolineheart.com or at their myspace [...]
Back in November we featured Gasoline Heart on the site… The band is now offering a free download of Cucumber Riot, a collection of both new and old songs. According to Paste Magazine, the album is "a compilation of four songs from their first record, three songs from their most recent EP and three songs from their upcoming LP, Nostalgia Ain't What It Used To Be, due out June 23 on P is for Panda." I'd totally take the time to tackle the terrific task of visiting their site for this collection. [...]
Randy Newman is an amazing songwriter. I have no idea how he comes up with his songs… and I'm sure I'll be searching my whole life for that answer. His work with Pixar has been sensational, and I must admit that I look forward to hearing a new tune of his with every film. "Louisiana 1927″, off of Good Old Boys, tells the story of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, a disaster that left about 700,000 people homeless and stranded in both Louisiana and Mississippi. The song resurfaced when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. I remember playing [...]

I liked this David Byrne and Brian Eno collaboration Everything That Happens Will Happen Today way more than I thought I would. I'm not sure why I thought that considering that I'm a fan of Byrne's work in Talking Heads and Eno's solo work as well as Roxy Music. The songs have been described by the duo as electronic Gospel music, but I think it sounds more like adult pop than anything else. It's an adventurous album that is radically listenable, but would you expect anything less from these two? [...]
:: Want to play soccer with Snow Patrol ? Well, tough. Besides, if you read Buzzgrinder, you're probably too lazy to step outside of your parents' basement. You can, however, play video game soccer with the band . Right up your alley. :: Chimaira frontman Mark Hunter recently chatted with Metal Sucks about the band's new album, The Infection . :: Comic book genius - and super weirdo - Alan Moore said that he was approached about doing a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen spinoff movie... League [...]
Here are the final five artists and bands that were featured here on TheFrontloader.com in 2008. As I said before, all of these artists are worth discovering (or revisiting)... so if you missed them the first time around, here's your chance to catch up! Follow the links to the complete article and show [...]
If you're like me, you have a bunch of songs on your iPod/music collection that you have either never heard before or wouldn't recognize. I filled up my 60gigger about a year ago, and have since been replacing songs every week. That's one great thing about the iPod… it allows change [...]
So way earlier in the summer I got a copy of the P Is For Panda Mixtape Vol. 1 and then it just sat in my pile of stuff to listen to for a few months. Things like this make me feel like a bit of an idiot. Why? Because it is good. If you didn't know, P Is For Panda is the new Hopeless imprint (founded by Chad Pearson formerly of the Militia Group) and the "mixtape" is their first release. It features two songs each by eight different artists [...]
"I'm actually just here for the opening band" is a phrase in the independent music lexicon that, along with "I like their older stuff better," is slightly pretentious but sometimes completely appropriate. As I stood outside Off Broadway , it officially hit me: Although I left my house to see the outstanding Maps and Atlases , I have not yet heard a single note from mewithoutYou , the headlining band responsible for the line of dudes and dudettes that extended past the venue's storefront. Having only heard [...]
Marcus and I went to the former the Gypsy Tea Room (now The Door) to see Maps & Atlases on Friday night, and it's apparent that the owners of the Door have done NOTHING to improve that venue; it's still the same terrible sounding, awful dump that it always was. At any rate, Maps & Atlases was very sharp and highly entertaining, and you can check out all of my photos from their show here . This was my first exposure to M&A, other than clips on YouTube, and these guys have an interesting, rather ecclectic/experimental sound, but it comes together [...]

"You're no little girl, so stand straight and act your age." This is why I listen to music. I could spend my whole life waiting for this band's next album, and that would be fine with me. The anticipation is enough. Fortunately, their debut still has plenty of life left in it. Gasoline Heart 's You Know Who You Are is gold from beginning to end. The band’s honest, unpretentious mien is easily discernable throughout the 12-track collection of Americana influenced [...]
