Nothing makes me happier than seeing two of my favorite bands share the same stage. A couple of days ago Sargent House released a video of Matt Embree (of Rx Bandits fame) playing with Good Old War during the bridge of "Weak Man." I don't really have much to say other than Embree is still the man and knows how to shred. The chemistry between all four of the guys on stage is also amazing and I'm hoping they keep throwing in impromptu jam sessions into their sets on tour. Check out the video at the top of this post.

Enjoy today's stellar performance of 'Coney Island' in the feature below. STREAM: Good Old War - Coney Island
Good Old War, an indie folk-rock band from Pennsylvania, is made up of Keith Goodwin, Daniel Schwartz, and Tim Arnold. The band was started after Days Away (former band of Keith and Tim) went on hiatus; Schwartz previously played in Unlikely Cowboy. They recorded some demos for free in a late night session at a recording studio. They have played with Anthony Green on a short stint of dates along the east coast and also at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Texas, as Anthony's backing band. Good Old War is currently on Sargent House, a label [...]
The torrential downpour last night reminded me the English festival season is well and truly on the way. The big players, Glastonbury and The Isle Of Wight are but distant hazy memories, camp fires smouldering around hundreds of blue chemical toilets and weeks later, students still hitching their way along Britain`s overflowing carriageways. Priceless! A debut for this year promises sun, sea and music. The Hevy Music Festival`s three staged Alternative Music extravaganza is perched beautifully on the Kent coast. The one day Folkestone event has enviably included Indie royalty in the shape of Feeder and Ash, also iconic electro [...]

It's probably safe to say the RX Bandits have done it all in their nearly 15 years existence, what with their ever-evolving styles on record and acclaimed performances live. In their latest endeavor, the Southern California quartet will look to cap off what it described as a "decade-long musical transformation" with the release of an 11-track effort, titled Mandala . Now, if you're up on your Buddhism and Hinduism, you'll know that a Mandala is a circular symbol referring to the universe - and because the RX Bandits have played, seen, and done [...]

I saw Good Old War back in April when they opened for The Gaslight Anthem at the Bottom Lounge and I've been totally digging their album Only Way To Be Alone since then. It ain't complicated, but their brand of upbeat folk pop just puts a smile on my face every time I hear it. The trio is from Pennsylvania and there is a timeless and breezy quality about the songs on Only Way To Be Alone that is only made breezier by their awesome vocal harmonies (a little a la Simon [...]
Brooklyn's The Honorary Title will be making a stop at the Triple Social Club along their journey from the west to east coast in September. The band's particular brand of pop rock reminds me a bit of both Pete Yorn and U2, but singer Jarrod Gorbel's vocal style is more youthful. In actuality, not so [...]
The big four-two is now available for your listening pleasure. It features a great interview with (and performance from) Fake Problems of Naples, FL. Chris Farren and Derek Perry stopped in to talk about a whole smorgasboard of stuff, ranging from artistic integrity in pop music to the incest of the music industry, plus everything in between.
Sorry for the delay. We'll be back on schedule next week. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump [V2; 2000] Grandaddy released the album The Sophtware Slump just after the turn of the century and with it they managed to sum up some of the darker feelings and emotions of the time. It could be considered a concept album, but for me it is just eleven brilliantly crafted alternative rock songs. The [...]
This weekend I headed over to dinkytown's quirky Varsity Theater to catch Heartless Bastards and Good Old War. The headlining act was supposed to be Gaslight Anthem, but due to a medical emergency (apparently someone had a serious abscessed tooth), they had to cancel, so Heartless Bastards took over as the headliner.Good Old War is a band I've written about before and thus was quite excited to
