We survived! The CMJ Music Marathon is over for another year — five days and about 500 bands later, we're back on the couch and promising never to leave it again. But still, for all that we're pretty much exhausted now, CMJ was a great week. As ever, we ran around down, drank too much, and saw more bands than we care to remember. And as ever, just as we were about to give up on the whole thing, we'd stumble across a band that made it all worthwhile. So here's a selection of the best acts that our crack Flavorpill [...]
Divine Fits are playing tonight at Union Transfer in support of their debut album, A Thing Called Divine Fits, which was released in August.

I haven't been able to exactly pin down King Tuff yet. In the past the artist has crafted palatable gutter rock. The sort of snot-crusted, infected stab-tat rock and roll that doesn't leave you with bloody ears and black eye. Blame it on Sub Pop and their fold of polish happy producers, or just call [...]

It's fund drive time at KSVR and KSVU, and that means spending a little extra time in the studio. I arrived early and accompanied Stuarto during his show then he accompanied me during mine. I snapped the above shot of Stuarto before I took over the mic. He had an oldies theme going, playing tunes by the Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Willie Nelson and many, many more. My show, par the usual, was filled with the new. From new tracks off forthcoming albums by Book Club and The Pharmacy, [...]
King Tuff @ Knitting Factory in 2011 ( more by Jessica Amaya ) We've known King Tuff were going to be at CMJ this year, as part of their tour with The Intelligence , but now we know the specifics. Kyle and the band will play three times next week: The Sub Pop showcase at Knitting Factory on 10/18 (11:20 PM) with Pissed Jeans, Metz, Daughn Gibson, Poor Moon and Debo Band , then the Inland Empire showcase at City [...]
Whether or not you've heard otherwise, CMJ is a music festival unlike any other that graces the venues of New York City. Though SXSW might be our pick for top marathon festival of the year, the College Music Journal's annual tradition is still a hot mess in the best way possible. There are over 1,300 bands playing venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn this week, and with a badge, you can get into whichever shows you choose. How are you going to decide where to go and who to see? Hopefully this can help you make up your [...]
King Tuff - Screaming Skull 7" Oh 2012, so much King Tuff to give, eh? After one of his best singles yet ("Wild Desire") and an album to match, the power pop strutter kicks out another two shot of solid pop confection in the form of "Screaming Skull". The a-side, like "Wild Desire" is an upbeat corker, this time with a rapid flutter of drumbeats pushing it like a turbine and plenty of Tuff charm in its lovesick/cathartic lyrics. Its the kind of untethered rock that's criminally left to [...]

Is there anyone in 2012 making better power pop records than Kyle Thomas and King Tuff? Following his Sub Pop debut, a self titled affair which featured the heart of a slacker and the musical command of a seasoned pro, Thomas now has a new 73 on the way. And if you found yourself smitten with his brand of glam, garage, and sunshine pop like I was, you'll want to get your hands on "Screaming Skull," too. It's another twisted gem, maybe even a love song, if longing over a screaming skull could be construed a sign of true love. [...]
