It takes a lot to pull me away from my HDTV/DV-R/HBO in the middle of the week. It takes even more to put a beer in my hand in the middle of the week. And it takes uncanny forces to get me to a rock show in the middle of the week. It takes a show like La Rocca and Phoenix. Webster Hall was packed on Tuesday night. La Rocca was on. So on that I found myself loosening my audiologist-recommended earplugs (a recent purchase in anticipation of the live-music-packed week/end this will [...]
Now that I am home I can weed threw the inbox. These are all bands that contacted the Duke looking for some exposure. They either left me a link for downloading or have songs on their websites or myspaces. A brief description follows the track and * means Duke approved. The Colour ~ Devil’s Got A Holda Me (a rock song thru and thru)* Favourite Sons ~ Hang On, Girl (kinda like Nick Cave meets Artic Monkeys) [...]
I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping you up to date with all of the new albums I've been picking up lately. That's partially because I don't have the patience to do proper "reviews", and partially because I recognize that, even if I did, I'm no journalist. It's also because a big chunk of the stuff I've been getting lately is pre-release stuff that I prefer not to post links for until
Over the past few days, attention has slowly been gathering around the suspicious practices of supposedly indie podcast Bands Under The Radar. The podcast is produced by Kami Knake (pic'd), a humble electrical engineer from the University of Iowa who parlayed her brief mid-90's notoriety as the hot girl in Steel Ring into a job as New Media Coordinator at Warner Brothers Records. Kami's critics accuse her of covertly pedaling Warner propoganda under the guise of independent music, citing her frequent inclusion of songs from high profile artists on Warner's roster like Chris Isaak, Tom Petty and Better [...]
Sorry I missed you guys yesterday...I kinda had a bad day...but now its time to make up for yesterday`s lack of a post... So I have been listening to an abnormal amount of La Rocca lately.. La Rocca are a small Indie rock outfit from Ireland (check out Myspace page HERE ) ..I don't know what it is ...but we definately have a winner here...I know that I say that all the time and I`m always saying " Download This " but La Rocca are really [...]
FEATURED ARTIST: KEVIN DEVINE official site myspace [MP3] Kevin Devine - Brooklyn Boy In all my goobery sickly distraction yesterday (I'm still sick, sigh) I totally forgot to mention that I went to see Kevin Devine open for Corinne Bailey Rae at House of Blues on Monday. The show was amazing. Corinne Bailey Rae = MAGNIFICENT. Kevin held his own [...]
THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of July 30-Aug. 5 "Gone Gone Gone" - John Ralston This one may start like just another weepy, acoustic ballad, but John Ralston has much more up his sleeve than weepy balladry, of the sort often practiced by the current pack of jam-band-inspired troubadours. First, when the full band kicks in after 19 seconds, the strength of the original melody becomes surprisingly evident. What sounded tinkly and precious with just an acoustic guitar playing now sounds vigorous and involving. I think it's the drummer in particular: that just [...]
So I'm a total sucker for Irish rock. In fact, finding out about The Frames was the one of the greatest moments of my life. Since then, I've opened up to all kinds of other amazing music from the Great Emerald Green Isle and I always sort of perk up whenever I come across a band from that little island. So needless to say my ears definitely opened up a bit when I came across La Rocca the other day. Although La Rocca hail from the same area as notables like [...]

La Rocca have put a couple more new songs up at their MySpace site, including a free MP3 download of the song "This Life". La Rocca, "This Life" (Highly recommended!) The band's debut album, The Truth, is out on Dangerbird Records on August 8th.
La Rocca The Truth Label: Dangerbird Records In stores: August 8, 2006 La Rocca , Dublin's LA transplant trio, have put the finishing touches on their debut LP, The Truth , and they're gearing up for a big fall push. In February, what we called a "surprisingly strong and mature EP" -- with standout tracks "Sing Song Sung" (mp3) and "Sketches (twentysomething life)" leading the charge -- has evolved into a surprisingly strong and addictive LP.
