Though I'm the sort of guy that likes his Primus in normal 2-D, this Sasquatch 2013 lineup is packed with some serious good energy. You've got The Postal Service reuniting (and maybe Ben Gibbard runs in to Danny Brown randomly and he's all like "You wanna collab?" Because, like that seems like something that would happen nowadays) and indie megas like Sigur Ros, Vampire Weekend, The XX, and Arctic Monkeys. And everyone is allowed to smoke pot. Like legally. I think. Check out the trailer below. As an added bonus watch a video [...]
The always underrated Sasquatch! music festival, held every Memorial Day weekend in May, has announced its 2013 lineup.

Festival line-up announcement season is in full swing, reminding us that the cold will soon let up and we'll be able to rock out to our favorite music in the sunshine. Every year, we rave about how incredible Sasquatch! Festival is, with the breathtaking views of The Gorge in Washington and the laid back vibes you get camping with mostly Northwesterners and Canadians (they are SO nice). This year is no different. The Postal Service continue their tour of festivals with a headlining gig this year, joining Mumford [...]
Rozwell Kid knock us out with thrash-heavy new single. Bringing to mind last year's Celebration Rock , Rozwell Kid is the new project from Demon Beat drummer, Jordan Hudkins . To round out the band, Hudkins brought on pals: Adam L. Meisterhans (also [...]

Well, it took a bit longer than expected (losing your job in November and having a baby in January will disrupt the blog-writing process a bit), but Given and Taken in Ink's list for best albums of 2012 is finally here. This year, a handful of bands came out of nowhere and blew me away. I knew right away that debut albums from Drew Smith and The Rest would stand among the best releases of the year. They are joined by 28 other great albums, by artists well-known and obscure. I'm pleased that GTI's 2012 list is a [...]

![[Ticket Giveaway] Snowball Festival: March 8 – 10 + PLAYLIST](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4737349_lg.jpg)
By festie standards, Snowball Music Festival is still relatively young. However, in a few short years they've already put themselves on the map as one of the best in the west. People from all over the US head up to a chilly Colorado mountain town each year to hear some of the best music has to offer. This year's lineup is absolutely ridiculous, which is why we're stoked to give away two sets of tickets. Check out the details below. How to enter the contest 1) "Like" us (The Music [...]

Governors Ball 2013 Lineup Kanye West, Kings Of Leon, TBA, Nas, Pretty Lights, The [...]
I had a great time at the Governors Ball last year. With the 2013 lineup announcement, it seems like the festival is growing a lot bigger. Not only is there another day added (June 7,8,9) but the quality and size of the artists particiapting this year seem to be on an all-around grander scale. Headliners include Kanye West, Kings Of Leon and a secret guest that will be announced later. Also playing are Nas, Grizzly Bear, The xx, Kendrick Lamar, Beach House, Cut Copy, Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Bloc Party, Beirut, Local Natives, Death From Above 1979, [...]

Cheech & Chong. Starsky & Hutch. Sonny & Cher. All reputable duos, however some would say that they do not compare to the likes of Japandroids. Hailing from Canada and forming in 2006, the two-man team gained notability upon the release of their debut album, Post-Nothing, which garnered a lot of attention from critics. Their acclaimed albums and intensely energetic live performances are what land these guys on such festival line-ups as St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival. Speaking of which, Japandroids will be gracing us with their presence on the 3rd of February to bring Australia what it needs. [...]
After their success in Europe and America, the Canadian rock band Japandroids is taking the world by storm, and this time they’re going far East. Here’s a little chat with David Prowse of the duo before embarking on their scheduled 2013 Asia tour, which will include the Laneway Festival in Singapore. + On December last year, Spin Magazine named Japandroids as Band of The Year 2012, how do you feel about that? - Well um, obviously it's really flattering whenever you get praised like that by anyone, but I don't really read a [...]
Intro by Fense: Each year I look forward to posting Nate's top album picks. First, he uses phrases like "silly-good." But it's mostly because he always has a different perspective, sometimes finding obscure items to drop in or checking out albums I wanted to hear but didn't have a change to for some reason or another, other times dropping in albums from genres I typically ignore (um... hip hop). This year he went one step further and gave us his top 15 local songs as well. (BONUS!!!) Read on and let us know your favorite pick of 2012! [...]
Leah's Top 10 Albums of 2012 1. Murder By Death – Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon Among the many reasons I love Murder By Death is their ability to seamlessly weave indie/folk/Americana/punk/orch estra into one coherent genre. I’ve been a fan of theirs for a long time and it seems that with each album they bring forward a new facet of their “IFAPO” style. Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon is filled with a [...]
