Hace prácticamente un mes pudimos escuchar "In Waves" , una de las nuevas canciones con las que Trivium pretenderá dar el salto definitivo a la escena "de primera" del metal mundial. Saldremos de dudas a partir del próximo 9 de agosto , fecha en la que se publicará su quinto disco de estudio, que finalmente se llamará igual que el tema del que ahora presentan videoclip. Para los que estamos a punto de comenzar un tórrido verano las primeras imágenes que aparecen en este video resultarán excesivamente refrescantes, casi gélidas. Y es que, [...]

Aunque podríamos hacer una lista parecida a la que hicimos con los relevos de AC/DC pero con Iron Maiden, seguro que el nombre de Trivium aparece en la mayoría de las apuestas. Aunque esta banda de Florida no podría considerarse como el sucesor natural de Steve Harris, Dickinson y compañía, parece que su música lo tiene todo para conquistar a la nueva generación de heavy metal fans. Su apuesta musical se basa en los grupos que influyeron en su momento a sus integrantes (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pantera...), con el componente clásico que eso [...]

It's one of those nights to rekindle old friendships. The Good Listeners [pictured], the L.A. duo of Nathan Khyber and Clark Stiles, just released their third album, "Don't Quit Your Daydream," a record conceived on the road and to be accompanied by a documentary about two musicians who travel the country in an RV. I took an immediate shine to the duo's first album, "Ojai," back in the day and the follow-up "Crane's Point Lodge" was great too. Tonight they are joined by Grand Hallway , Cave Country and Buddy at [...]
Fool's Gold (Los Angeles, CA) [MP3] Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel Fool's Gold have been kicking around LA for a few years now - trying out different styles and finally finding their niche with bright guitar tones, 80s pop, African inspired drums. You may recognize members of Foreign Born , In Waves , Glasser , and The Fall amid their flock. Their music is absolutely perfect for summer and perfect for fighting away winter blues. [...]
In Waves Vintage styled, angular and fittingly moody new-wave, sounding more like Northwest England rather than Echo Park California. In Waves - Your Favorite Storm ( mp3 )

Sunny Day Sets Fire (London, UK) It's no secret that I love Sunny Day Sets Fire . The London based project writes some of the most delightful indie pop tunes I've heard in years. Their music is positve, upbeat, and makes you grin from ear to ear when you hear it. This week the 5 piece will be invading LA for three shows including a KXLU sponsored show TONIGHT at Spaceland with In Waves , Line & Circle , and [...]
Listen/Download: "Once the Heart" [Band Myspace]

Wieder einmal eher zufällig stieß ich vor einigen Tagen auf die Band In Waves aus Echo Park in Kalifornien. Amerikanische Band machen sich in letzter Zeit ja vermehrt verdient um die Revitalisierung von Shoegaze und Wave und so weiß auch dieses Trio sehr zu verzücken - Gitarren und Gesang erinnern nämlich durchaus an Echo & the Bunnymen oder die Chameleons . Zudem können In Waves auch tolle Melodien schreiben, wie man den durchgängig großartigen Song sauf ihrer Myspace-Seite hört. Derzeit sitzt die Band an ihrem Debütalbum, das im April in digitaler [...]
IN WAVES [MP3] In Waves - Once The Heart [MP3] In Waves - Love As Scarlett I've mentioned In Waves several times before here at Rock Insider. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Echo Park duo. The band's 2nd show ever was HELL YA! last February with Foreign Born [...]
Los Angeles is spoiled. Spoiled to the core. We must laugh to ourselves everytime we see MySpace comments on local band profiles that read "Please come to NY!!" or "You need to play in the UK" or our favorite "Los Angeles doesn't deserve you." While our spoiledness is 24/7, it peaks on Mondays where we're silverspooned with too many good shows... Drove by Spaceland to catch In Waves but heard

[MP3] Matt Pond PA - Halloween Oh you so know I'll be front row center singing along to every word of "Halloween" during Matt Pond PA 's set. Straylight Run 's Fall tour with Matt Pond PA , Kevin Devine , And Street To Nowhere hits The Roxy TONIGHT. [...]
We did another radio show on Friday evening with myself, friends Joel and Jessica, and three students from Smith. I set up a little blog to showcase the video I take while I'm in the studio. The blog is in beta over there, but you can go take a peep . It should evolve into something more substantial and informative. I only have to do it once a week, so I should be able to keep up. p.s. I have so much music on my iTunes I meant to [...]
