Big life changes including having a child and moving from New York City to the Catskills have proved to be more than enough inspiration for Two Dark Birds frontman Steve Koester. That's probably why the band's sophomore full-length is called Songs For The New—and why the album's sound is more hopeful and outdoorsy-sounding than the [...]
Kerretta is a band that decided to break the hard-rock mold and say, "Who needs a vocalist?"—and with good reason. The last thing this New Zealand trio needs is a human voice covering up what could easily serve as the soundtrack to an epic medieval battle or a harrowing viking journey. The band's sophomore album, [...]
Halloween is over, but we can still witness the solo careers of artists rise from the ashes of their old bands, and note that both have used the term "Ghosts" in the title or band name. Magnets & Ghosts "Mass" Collective Soul Founding Member Dean Roland & Singer/Songwriter Ryan Potesta strike out as Magnets & Ghosts. The duo have many diverse musical influences, the opener "Hearts of Everyone" has more in common with the alt band Love & Rockets than CS. But it doesn't take [...]

Moholy-Nagy is the latest incarnation of the musical brotherhood between Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Danny Paul Grody and Trevor Montgomery. All three have been members of Tarentel and/or the Alps and the Drift in between various solo jaunts, and they have come together this time to bring us sprawling instrumental and largely improvised soundscapes with Like Mirage [...]

Guided by Voices gets the cover of the recently relaunched print version of MAGNET Magazine (a rock mag I subcribed to and enjoyed immensely in the late 90s and early 00s - see me for back issues.) You can read the digital version here . Former GBV bassist ('95-'96) and well-known writer Jim Greer wrote the piece, which interviewed GBV honcho Robert Pollard and guitarist Mitch Mitchell at friendly confines in Dayton, Ohio. GBV recently announced that they had secretly recorded two LPs in the past few [...]

Some say the hardest part of writing music is finding inspiration, but sometimes the inspiration itself can be pretty painful—something Milagres lead singer/songwriter Kyle Wilson probably knows all too well. Much of the material for the Brooklyn quintet's debut LP, Glowing Mouth (Kill Rock Stars), was written while Wilson was recovering from a back injury after [...]

...denn böse Menschen haben keine Lieder. Denkste! Der britische Kultstreifen "The Wicker Man" ist ein grausliges Juwel der Filmgeschichte. Nicht zuletzt des Soundtracks wegen. Der 1973 erschienene Film " The Wicker Man " ist so dermassen grossartig, dass ihm Iron Maiden Jahre später einen Song widmen und Nicolas Cage sich am Remake fast unweigerlich die Finger verbrennt. Die Geschichte des filmerischen Zwitters aus Thriller und Musical ist schnell erzählt: Der Polizist und fromme Christ Howie wird auf die Insel Summerisle gerufen, um [...]
